Mount Kidd
June 13, 2002
Mostly
a slog with limited views during the ascent. We should have done it
earlier in the season when snow would have made a quicker ascent and
descent.
It was
30°
on our trip and soon ran out of water. It's not a trip I
fondly
remember because of the scree and the heat.

Hiking up by the waterfall
At the bottom
of the bowl: the start of a long slog up.
Looking back at the gully
Finally scrambling on rock
The last
300 m is on loose scree.
Walking the ridge crest to the summit
To
the south, this small peak is unofficially called "The
Spoon Needle."
360° view
from the ridge. A telecom repeater on the summit prevented me from taken a
panorama there, so I moved to a smaller high point to take this.
I digitally removed the antennas.
