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.
