| It was a crisp clear day with a little bit of snow. We followed the old crest trail and cut a couple of miles off the round trip. The old trail crosses Commonwealth Cr, and the low flow made it very simple. With high water, there's a log with some metal grating for traction. | |

| Having failed in June to negotiate the Red Mountain-to-PCT traverse, I came back in the fall to catch Kendall in the more conventional manner. Memorable on this trip: I took my ice axe. Some jerk on the PCT made a derogatory comment about not needing an ax on any climb along there at this time of year, but I actually used it in the turf when I decided to descend from the summit straight toward the trail rather than back along the ridge. (I don't do crazy stuff like that any more!) | |

| A low snow year so the approach wasn't hinderd. Although the wind was howling once we broke out in the open. Gust around 50mph. Needless to say we didn't stay on top very long. Great views though. | |

| A nice early winter day. Just enough snow to make it slippery and not enough for the ax to bite made it interesting. | |

| Left the trailhead at 10am and passed about 5 different parties until the climbers trail north of the summit on the PCT. A .5 mile or so traverse back along the west side of the ridgeline brings you to the summit register (needs replacing). 4.5 hours round-trip. | |
