Cheviot Mountain is likely better done via Cardinal River Valley from Cardinal Divide with a bike approach, but with lots of snow there we chose to ascend it via Prospect Creek. Be prepared for a 700m very steep slog to the summit on the unstable rubble and scree. Class I terrain (easy scrambling), very steep hiking, no actual scrambling.
