Is W0C in some sort of purgatory for past wrongs??
Can someone tell me why our mountains are worth less points?

Yeah, life isn't fair! ;-).? You just need to remind yourself that SOTA isn't a competition....I keep reminding myself of that...particularily when I watch guys in other associations do four or five 8-10pt summits in one day (many driveups....).? To make it interesting for me, I decided to do 100% unique W0C summits during my quest to reach mountain goat status.? Some guys like W0ADV are doing only 8-10pt Colorado peaks -- very hard journey to goat status!? You could do only first activations of W0C summits getting to goat (also very hard to do).? There are many ways to make it interesting and be the first activator to accomphish that particular challenge.

The point system also has nothing to do with summit difficulty.? That would be really hard to incorporate that into the grading system -- and subjective as well.? So, yeah, life isn't fair!? But what a fun hobby this is ;-).
