Goode NE Buttress Approach and Climb Times

[layton]

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

I think you're right on. Maybe tack on an hour on the approach.

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.

i'll set my alarm early (5am) then.
