Mount Kent often goes unnoticed because it is further back from the road than McClellan Butte, which is to its west and hangs right over I-90 at Exit 42. But Kent does deserve to be noticed. Its north face is very large and craggy, but fortunately for us, there are routes to the summit by going around to the left or the right.
FYI: My goal is to be back in Seattle to attend a function at the Program Center by 6 PM.
