The saddle I’m standing on drops into a drainage west of Boulder Chain Lakes, which descends to Warm Springs Creek.  The correct saddle, to drop into Hummock Lake, lies higher on the ridge to the east.  That saddle in a bit east of the low point on the skyline.  It becomes obvious when one looks down into the lake basin.
