The Fold, Rock alpine route on Mt Kidd, 5.8
There is now a safe way to get off the fold. Last week, a friend of mine added
a new rap station on the finish ledge (1 pin + 1 self drive bolt). It is now
possible to make a low-angled rappel down and left to the rap station (two
bolts) above the big drop-off (no crazy down climbing anymore!). The second
rappel is totally overhanging and require two 60m ropes. For more information
about the route, take a look at the Gripped magazine v7.01 (02/03 2005) page 30
and you will find a topo of the route on this web site:

Enjoy this wild limestone!
Note: this is more an alpine rock route: Be prepared!! Require good route
finding and good protection skill. Climbing may be more or less run-out on the
two last pitches depending on were you are going and the last anchor may be
hard to build. Recommend to bring pins with you.
