We investigate what the lensing information contained in high resolution, low noise CMB temperature maps can teach us about cluster mass profiles. We create lensing fields and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect maps from N-body simulations and apply them to primary CMB anisotropies modeled as a Gaussian random field. We examine the success of several techniques of cluster mass reconstruction using CMB lensing information, and make an estimate of the observational requirements necessary to achieve a satisfactory result.
