Hiking
The Scalp is a narrow valley that originated around 12,000 years ago during the last ice age, shaped by glacial forces.
The Scalp, is a chasm or cleft situated to the west of the summit, a deep natural gorge with towering and sloping walls on either side. Enormous granite boulders, some weighing several tons, have tumbled down, creating a chaotic jumble of rocks. The surroundings give the impression that these massive rocks are suspended in their descent, posing a constant threat of tumbling onto unsuspecting travelers.
