Mount Kidd, South Peak
October 20, 2001

Recent snowfalls have blanketed the mountains making scrambling difficult so Dinah Kruze, Anita Jelinski and I decided to do Mount Kidd, South Peak, which is only slightly lower than Mount Kidd, main peak, but less technical. We missed the side trail but had no trouble going up a gully and getting to the treeline below the ridge. It was a long day and we were constantly slipping and falling on the snow-covered rocks, but we were able to summit. On the return, we saved time by taking a shortcut back to the trail.
