 Location: The Cantilever Range lies between the Stein River and Kwoiek Creek, near the Fraser Canyon. It is the central and highest part of the Lillooet Ranges. The main bulk of the range is concentrated around Skihist Mountain, with a long arm running eastward toward the Fraser River. The western boundary is the pass between Nesbitt Creek and Kwoiek Creek, which is just below 7000 feet.
KeyPasses: Nesbitt-Kwoiek Pass (Vesuvianite Lake Pass 50:09:48-121:55:55) 7000'
Terrain: The rock in the Cantilever Range is mostly granite, but many of the faces have considerable loose rock. The range itself is not very heavily glaciated, with only a few small glaciers around the highest peaks. The ridge tops mostly travellable. One common traverse is to gain the eastern arm above Kwoiek Creek, then traverse westward to reach Skihist mountain. By early July, most of the snow is gone.
