I had forgotten my headlamp in the car, so the choice we made to just do Currant out-and-back was the smart one.

We followed an old logging/ORV road up until we dropped into the canyon with the avalanche wash, followed the avalanche wash up til the avalanche meadow/basin, and then proceeded to go straight up the ridge.
