Saw on the page that you could do a Kendall/Red summit combo via a saddle b/w the two...today I scrambled up Red first but couldn't find a good way across I guess what I'd refer to as a notch in the saddle b/w the two after climbing down the east ridge, so I just climbed down along the edge of the drainage and bushwhacked out b/c I didn't have time to ascend up to the PCT on the Kendall side of the saddle. Is it easier to see the way up from to Red from the Kendall side of the saddle? Any advice on how to do this? I maxed out my limited climbing skills getting off Red today, so if real skills are required I am definitely lacking...
