Sawtooth Peak #3

Seen from Sawtooth Mountain. Although this peak has been climbed, this picture show why a traverse from Sawtooth Mountain is not going to be easy. The notch is way too deep and sheer for even the most experienced scramblers, the rest of the traverse promises to be challenging at the least, and since Sawtooth Mountain is a Class 2 peak, most people climbing it would not go up with rope unless they already knew about the notch.
