Chevron Mountain: a beautiful mountain just across Verdant Pass from Mt. Edith Cavell. Difficulty: Sustained Class 3 climb ("difficult scramble") on exposed slabs for last 100 vertical meters. Approach shoes highly recommended. My Scarpa "Crux" did a fantastic job. The slabs are fairly easy with good grippy footwear. They could be dangerous when wet or icy though. The rest of the slope is an "easy scramble" on large quartzite boulders. Many boulders are not stable including the fairly sizable ones so lots of caution advised. No other difficulties.
