ROUTE DESCRIPTION: Both the North and South sides of this pass are straightforward Class 2. The North side is very gently and ascends grassy ramps and small talus. Definitely a sigh of relief from the North. The South side is a little more tedious with more talus and granite out croppings but nothing substantial and nothing harder than someone on the Sierra High Route has not seen from especially the South. Pick your way down to Rosy Finch Lake or traverse laterally towards Bighorn Pass if you're doing a SHR traverse or part of it.
