Cuththroat Pass Trailhead off Hwy 20 near Rainy Pass.

This is a bit of an exploration climb for me having never done this route, but I have done both the West and the SE Ridge, and it's an adventuresome peak in a beautiful area.

Looking for folks who are comfortable moving on low 5th class ridge climbs.
