Traverse from Leatherman
Chute leading to the chimney was steep, loose dirt with some snow in the mix- so I opted for the narrow wall-hugging shelf to get in. It's crazy how this peak is one rock away from being a class5. I recall the chimney feeling like 1 or 2 class4 moves, so I wouldn't suggest going all the way up there if you aren't comfortable with that stuff.
Headed straight down from the saddle then eventually picked up a goat path leading toward Leatherman Pass. Was able to get back to Sawmill with very little ascending.
Climbed sometime in 2003 with Grayson and Barb via Sawmill.

Northwest Ridge
Took advantage of some snow coverage over the scree to sneak this one in during November. Hiked up to Sawmill Pass, traversed over to the southwest face, climbed a snow gully to the ridge, then up to the cloud covered summit. Wouldn't want to be on this bad boy in the heat of summer. The chimney was challenging and fun. Here's a trip report and some photos.
