I'm surprised that many people found Kiwetinok Peak as a "hard difficult scramble". I think they made a mistake by going straight up instead of steering left, as Kane recommends. I zigzagged around a series of cliff bands looking for the easiest part up. Found minimal scrambling with mild exposure, "upper moderate scramble" (Class 3 terrain). To get to the scramble route 2 short steep snow patches have to be crossed. Ice-axe recommended.
