Description
In memory of West Marin OG Kenneth Kidd, who tragically passed away in an avalanche at Palisades this past winter.
P1 is the scrappy downpayment with a few sections of junky rock to navigate. Clip the old pin midway for bonus points and then finish in a nice dihedral. Belay in the alcove with lots of cookies on it (loose) & see how many you can throw out into the sea. 5.9
P2 is the memorable one, weaving up & across wild roofs on golden stone. From the belay traverse hard right & head up some pockets to a nice rest. From there a complex boulder problem with difficult to spot holds trends up and left culminating at a tough clip. Hang in there as a few more pumpy but manageable moves lead to a ledge. Some cruiser terrain then takes you to an awesome summit. 13a?
Please rap the route, as in not down directly below the P1 anchor.
