"North Kent & Chesmill are almost identical objectives: unofficial summits with an approach from the west via a grassy outlier. They're also short enough not to warrant the drive if done individually, so we decided to combine them. North Kent was a straightforward easy ascent, after which we descended from the col to James Walker creek, with some heinous, slippery, sweaty bushwhacking via the route we took. After crossing the creek, it was an ascent up steep grassy slopes up to the outlier, down to the other col and then a final grind to the summit. On the way down, we skipped the col and descended a muddy gulley to the creek.

"Kent Ridge North Outlier and North Peak to Mt. Inflexible. Hot. Smoky. The Kent Ridge peaks were straight forward, the fun begins traversing to Inflexible. Care was needed down climbing loose terrain that I would also consider “delicate”… don’t trust a single hold! I felt route finding was only a slight challenge, mostly because I was happy with my decisions. I did have few short backtracks after being cliffed out. I don’t think this mountain isn’t climbed often, so any significant trails aren’t likely from people traffic. The summit register at Inflexible was out there in 1994. I didn’t count, but there was maybe only a couple dozen names in there. To the North, there is another peak that looked like it could be taller. So I decided to go for it just in case it’s the true high point. I think it is. However, getting there was tricky. A little down climbing, a little scrambling, and some scree bashing. I tried to stick to the ridge but it was notched. More fun came with the descent of the west face. It looks gnarly from a distance, and it’s gnarly close up. if you’re not on super steep slab, you’re on moderately steep slab with loose gravel. I don’t think there’s an establis..." — ivo • Sep 3, 2022

"Used Spirko's descent route as our ascent and we liked it enough to go back down it as well. No bushwhacking and little scree bashing. No summit pics as the clouds cleared after we had left the summit." — BertB • Oct 16, 2021

"Ascended Kent Ridge as a back up plan due to rainy weather. The weather ended up being fairly nice for most of the day, except the summit where a cloud moved in and a short and intense snowstorm blocked any views. At the summit my phone and hiking poles started crackling and buzzing - the charge was building in the clouds. I thought I might get struck by lightning so I frantically ran down talus in a blizzard. Luckily I was fine and the storm blew away 20 minutes later." — yuri • Jul 4, 2020

"A nice hike on a gloomy winter day to the summit of 10km long Kent Ridge. From the Summit, we ridgewalked some distance towards Mount Kent before being stopped by an impassible (in winter conditions) cliff band." — Taras • Mar 14, 2014
