Jigsaw pass (12,720'+) is a cross country route (there used to be a trail) between Bishop pass and the North Fork of Big Pine Creek. Remnants of the trail can still be found near the top of Bishop pass. Essentially no remenants of the trail can be found on the the east side of the pass. It's mostly just bouldering. This picture was taken from the vicinity of Bishop pass.The actual pass is the right hand chute just to the left of center of the picture. Near the top you need to cross to the left hand chute.

The chute on the far right hand side of the picture has been dubbed "Not Jigsaw" by those of us who have crossed the ridge at the wrong place. Note: Secor now refers to this as "Hinman Col". Map
