layton Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 (edited) I'm thinkin of doing Goode's NE Buttress this long w/end with my girlfriend and am trying to think of a logical way to bivy on the summit w/o making one day waaaay to long. Can anyone give my (est) approach times to a.)the bivy spot below the route b.)from the bivy to the summit assuming simuling the whole thing and moving pretty quick. I thought maybe 6 hours to the bivy, 6 hours up. p.s. this is approaching from Hwy 20, not Lake Chelan. gracias Edited September 1, 2006 by michael_layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_Sjolseth Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I think you're right on. Maybe tack on an hour on the approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 from hwy20 the hike in is 13 miles of gentle downhill. 4hrs? from the trail to the bivy spot is 1.5hrs there wont be water anywhere near the summit. the glacier getting on to the buttress, and then back down to the bivy from goode-S/K Col will be very broken up. bivy spot to summit - 7hrs simuling the whole thing.
