May 16/05
Great day in the mountains. While we were driving in, it was raining pretty hard, so we flipped a coin - heads:
Mt. Kidd, or tails: The Wedge. I'm quite glad it landed heads. After a sunshower for the first half hour it cleared
up, and we enjoyed almost sublime stepkicking until the 2/3 mark where we transferred onto the rock. Then on the descent,
who can argue with 300m of soft scree, then 700m of glissading? The snow was a little soft for a very fast glissade,
but it was quite relaxing.
