Thanks a lot Bug. Do you think I could get the 'non-climbers' from Dragontail to the col and down to the lake?

Thanks so much for your reply. The reason for backtracking would be to avoid the glacier, correct? Is the glacier doable with a rope, crampons and ice axe?

I'm heading up there next week. Boy am I glad to find your post. I've been trying to figure out if we can come out of the Enchantments basin via Dragontail then climb Colchuck on the way out. Sounds like it's doable. Is there a better route for this time of year? We'll have a rope and rack with us as we're doing Prussik too but we'll have some non-climbers with us and it would be nice to get them up Colchuck. Is it possible to avoid the glacier? Any info you have would be greatly appreciated!
