Pass Creek and its tributaries are all deeply gulched so head east from the large tarn and cross the southern tributary high up before following its true right side north. You could try and climb around the eastern tributary between some bluffs before descending down into the northern tributary, but in my opinion the easiest route is to descend into the eastern tributary through scrub, then rock hop down to where the north tributary comes in and climb the north branch briefly. A large boulder, easily seen from the tributary junctions has a grassy slope on its true right side which leads up out of the gulch and onto open snow grass slopes of Point 1197. Climb to Point 1197 to enjoy fantastic views.
