South Buttress (Cutthroat Peak)

Beginning the lead of the final pitch to the summit on South Buttress route. Two 5.7-ish moves and then two more 5.7-ish moves (separated by class 3) – very typical of this route. In the background, is a panorama of the North Cascade peaks. Pyramid-shaped mountain on the right is Black Peak; to its left is probably Mount Logan, and even further left (center of photo, far background) might be Mount Goode (June 4, 2005).
