What’s up with T12?

And why doesn’t anyone mention it in climbs? Just curious because not too familiar with surrounding peaks and was checking out Lookout.

not much to it, loose 2+ scrambling from the opposite side of lookout. I don't remember if the ridge looked like it went from lookout, but that's some chossy choss

It's unranked and doesn't go well (or possibly at all) from Lookout so most people overlook it. It's better from the Columbine Lake side. I'd call it Class 3 minimum as well, I think it'd be difficult to keep it to 2+.

Not sure if it goes from Lookout, but it's a climbable scree slope from Columbine Lake up to the saddle between Lookout and T12. There's a bit of a talus slope from there to a short class 3 chute. I got turned around there (dog), but my partner made quick work of it to the summit.
