My brother and I went along with some other hikers to do Mt. Kidd. I don't remember whether it was Kidd South or Kidd North. I suspect it was Kidd North because I don't remember crossing a bunch of bridges, and I don't remember going up, up, and up a huge rocky slope like you did. I should mention that we did the hike in the early 1970s, over 50 years ago. I do remember as we were hiking back to the parking lot that it was already getting dark. Your video is very inspiring although it does leave me with this thought... "What was I thinking!"

@@Malcolm-Achtman ... I haven't done Kidd North (main summit) but it has a lot more scree. It also requires there to be hardly any snow in the gulley heading up as it can have Avi potential. I'm not sure if Kidd South was a big destination back then based on the fainter trails to access it. Hard to say.

@@HarlanFox--Scrambles I'm the "other brother" who did Mt. Kidd in July, 1971. Based on your video, I'm pretty certain we went up Kidd North. I do remember contending with a lot of scree. There was a fair amount of icy snow as well. I actually fell at one point and slid down 150' on icy snow. I was able to stop myself with my geological hammer once I hit a scree patch. I remember my fingers looking blue from the exposure to the cold surface. The worst part was having to do that portion of the climb a second time. Not fun.🙃 It was fun coming back down. The other guys on the adventure taught me how to ski down on the the snowy patches. Of course, there were no skis or ski poles, but I was wearing my Greb Kodiak boots. Fortunately, I was a very good ice skater, so adapting an "eagle" position and free-styling down the slope was invigorating. It's amazing what one can do when young and stupid.😵💫

Hey Harlan your videos are all great. I'm planning on climbing Rundle this Saturday solo and see some trip reports on all trails. Any advice on snow right now up high? Was thinking I might need crampons or micro spikes and an ice axe but perhaps if it's a snow field higher up less punishing scree? Would love to hit the trail with you sometime and thanks!
@HarlanFox--Scrambles Ай бұрын
Thanks for that! To be honest, I really don't know what the conditions are like currently, but I did hear that there was supposed to be snow and quite a bit of it above 2,500 m over the last couple of days. Not sure how unstable things will be up there or how it will be crossing the dragons back. I would definitely have crampons and an ice ax though if I was going up there. Let me know when you head out and I'll try and make one with you. Cheers!

I’d be curious if my register entry from September 12/1995 would still be in there ? That was a wonderful solo trip. My ascent route stayed climbers left all the way up. I used that gully/wall for the descent. I was using Alan Kane’s first edition scrambles book. Your route up looks a little different than what I remember mine being.

... My guess is that the register from back then has hopefully been claimed and filed with Kananaskis parks (ACC maybe but not sure). I followed close to Bob Spirkos route. There was a guy that was going up as I came down and he was ascending climbers left of where I went on lots of slab.

@@HarlanFox--Scrambles 1995 was a long time ago. Pretty sure a few registers have been filled up since my days out there.
