If you are sick of walking up the trail to Ryan Peak and the NW ridge of Kent, it is also possible to climb directly up the SW face on 3rd class rock with a little scree on it. Begin on the lowest gray rock in the center of the face and climb straight up this faint arete. It is possible to avoid much of the scree and end up high on the NW Ridge. Follow the ridge east for a couple hundred yards to the summit.
