The Kidd

Pitch

• P15.13a61m

  In memory of West Marin OG Kenneth Kidd, who tragically passed away in an avalanche at Palisades this past winter. P1 a scrappy approach pitch with a mix of good & bad rock. Clip the old pin midway for bonus points, and then finish in a nice dihedral. Belay in the alcove. 10a P2 is the memorable one, snaking its way up & across wild roofs on nice golden stone. Fun easy pockets lead up to a nice rest. From there, a complex boulder problem with some difficult to spot holds trends up and left culminating at a tough clip. Hang in there through a bit more pumpy 5.11 climbing before pulling onto a ledge. Some easier terrain then takes you to an awesome summit which shares an anchor with FOTP. 13a Please rap the route, as in not down directly below the P1 anchor.
