Peaks 4102 and 4175

I'm wondering if it's possible to go up the drainage between peaks 4102 and 4175 (taking off from the Siphon Draw trail across from The Thumb) to reach 4102. We went about halfway up, but had to turn around due to time constraints. We're just not sure about the last push despite many efforts to view it from various angles with binoculars.

Yes I believe it it still is.
Personally I haven't done it but the day I went halfway up Siphon then cut over to Peak 4175 I met two guys who had left Siphon Draw trail early on, scaled up to 4202, then came across to 4175, which is when I met them.
They told me there was a point where you had to scramble about 10 feet then grab a rope to get past one spot... if you could make it past it you were good to go. That spot functioned as an unofficial gate-keeper... if you can't get past it you shouldn't be climbing here.
