Cutthroat Peak, East-Face Couloir. In April Tim Wilson and I made the first ascent of the prominent gully system that splits the east face of Cutthroat Peak. It was five pitches of enjoyable snow and ice with one long steep pitch of ice at the bottleneck of the couloir. We descended the north ridge. This is a recommended early season climb, feasible in a single day if the North Cascades Highway is open.
