Ramey Topo - 2011_07. "P" = piton placements are approximate. Route can be rapped with 1 rope. Rap has all new bolts and there is no longer a "scary downclimb" to reach the free hanging rap.

Start of P1 below tree. There is a bolt above my partner's head, under the stone lip.
From the base of the rappels, we scrambled down a path that would around cliff bands and back to 200m shy of the base of the route.

Loose blocks at start of Pitch 7. Fortunately, can climb past them without touching them.
updated from the "Kananaskis Obscure" pdf by me.
Starting off Pitch 8.
Awesome exposure (belay at top of Pitch 7).
Rap 2, a hanging rappel. We had 2 ropes so we made it to the scree ledge below without the exciting reach for the midway anchor as you have to do if you have a single rope.
Rap 1. Single rope works here.
3-pin anchor at the top of Pitch 10. As of 2017, this route does not have bolted anchors like many of the moderate multipitch routes in the Rockies.
This photo was taken at the top of The Fold. If you continue upwards, you are climbing The Fold Integral, which apparently continues for about 4 more pitches of roped climbing, rated 5.9 R, and reportedly has slightly lesser quality rock. But it is a way to extend the adventure and get to the south summit of Mt. Kidd.
Lots of pitons on the route. No need to bring your own.
