Season:	spring

We Parked at the Stevens Pass Nordic Center parking lot and followed the outlet stream to Lantham Lake. We arrived at the 4143' still frozen lake on it's east side, having crossed the creek on solid snow bridges lower down. From near the mid point on the east shore of the lake, we made a direct ascent of the ridge to the east, cresting at a saddle just south of Pt. 5707, turned right and followed the ridge into the basin north of Jim Hill. From there a rising traverse on moderate snow slopes put us at the saddle to the east of the summit. We were greeted by bare rock and scrambled pretty much straight up the ridge to the high point. Descent was the reverse of the ascent. An aptly rated T4 rock scramble along the summit ridge.
