Southwest Ridge, Class 2 by Livingston Douglas

The Climb

From the connecting saddle with Peak 9863 (9,163 feet), follow a fence row heading northeast up the southwest ridge of North Cabin Mountain. The sagebrush is moderately thick and requires some weaving. The fence row ends just below tree line. From there, scramble up steep, loose scree up to easier, less steep scree higher up. The first couple hundred feet of scrambling is the worst. The ridge becomes better defined higher up and it merges with the northwest ridge about 400 vertical feet below the summit. From that ridge juncture, follow the ridge crest east to the summit area. A short hike south gets you to the high point and a small summit cairn.
