Dragontail and Colchuck Peaks
05/13/2016
Dragontail and Colchuck Peaks from Colchuck Lake

Below is a link to the video of the climb and conditions on 05/14/2016. We hiked to Colchuck Lake on 05/13/2016 and camped on the north end for the night. On 05/14/2916 we climbed the Colchuck Glacier and up to the top of Colchuck from the col. We returned to the col and climbed the west route up Dragontail. The couloir was very steep with hard snow/ice. We rappeled down some rock to avoid having to die climb the steep snow on the step down to the snowfield but we still had to climb back up, and traverse across a very steep section there as well. We returned to the lake via Asgard Pass and hiked out on 05/15/2016
