"Since there was little snow last week at Hummingbird Plume Lookout and not much new snow had fallen, I decided to try Kent again by means of south ridge. We started further back due to concern about parking along the roadside. This probably added 2km and roughly 100m of elevation gain. We found the High Rockies trail for some part, and then broke from it based on the previous GPS track I had made. The bushwhacking was fair. We got up higher to South Kent and the snow was deeper there. Unfortunately the snow had a crust with icing sugar under that. Up to about 2 ft deep. We continued on, and I was getting rather tired. We got up on the ridge, got to a highpoint. At this time we had been going up for four hrs. The next section was going to get more technical. I decided it be best if we turned around and not get caught in the dark. We found a bushy way down and walked along the road. Good views though." — BertB • Dec 8, 2018
"James, Bert and I parked at Penninsula, went along the road then the Great Rockies trail before bushwhacking through misery up to the open ridge. Love the open ridge! I did this last November (2017) on snowshoes with Blake, but this time we went a little bit further. We had the perfect day with manageable wind. Saw some snowshoe hares and lots of tracks plus lynx tracks. We went well past the South Kent point, but not to the summit of Mt. Kent. We're putting Mt. Kent on our radar for the route up the Western slopes for something like June 2019." — leigh-annewebster • Dec 8, 2018
"Snowshoed the gentle path from the very south end of the ridge. Went on to try and bag Mt Kent as well, but that proved to be further than expected. I also would have needed crampons on the final 400m as the snowslope was hard." — BertB • Feb 21, 2016
