Located north of Bill Fraser Creek on the west side of South Caribou Pass. The south ridge is the normal summit route, an easy scramble.
Name Notes: Originally Bivouac listed the first ascent as being in 1975 by P. Mellows; L. Semproni; F. Taylor; S. Ward; E. Wylie. However, this was corrected in 2003 by Bob Pritchard who climbed the north side a year earlier in 1974, and at that time found a summit cairn and concrete slab dating back to the Gates party in 1928.
