From Lake Barrowman head up the true left of the stream draining the small glacier under Mt
Huss. From the small glacier, two snow guts lead up to the range between Dog Kennel Peak and
Mt Huss. The ridge is of the usual broken sort, but rock on Mt Huss proper is rough and firm,
offering four simple but exposed pitches. A mixed route with good rock.
