The summit of Wasootch Peak is seen in the the photo above, not to be confused with the popular Wasootch Ridge hike.

We'll follow the creek bed and look for a trail on the left bank. Most likely we'll be hiking/scrambling in some snow. As the trail leaves the creek and we emerge from the tree line, we'll stick to the ridge and follow it to the summit.
