Argonaut N. Face

[dmcnair]

Has anyone climbed N. Face of Argonaut (the Class 4 route, not the 5.8 Buttress)? I'm interested in how long your approach took and how long it took on the actual climb.

dmcnair - I'm not sure if the route we did was the north or east route on Argonaut, but it was a good one. We approached from Colchuck Col, and did it in one long day. There is a spot of 5th class climbing on it (after you cross the snow-filled steep gully), but everything else is either moderate snow or 3rd class. There are two summit horns, the easy one is the true summit. I have a trip report filed on www.wta.org search under "argonaut". If you would like more info, feel free to send me a PM.
