TrogdortheBurninator Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Trip: Dragontail Peak - Backbone Ridge Date: 6/21/2008 Trip Report: Soft seasonal snow on approach traverse and glacier descent. Scramble is mostly snow free, with just a small (4') unavoidable patch at the start of the 5th class. Rest of route is snow free right to the summit. Bugs seemed to be starting to get worse at the lake. words and pictures: http://zclipped.com/?p=16 Gear Notes: Cams Blue TCU to #3 camalot, #5 C4, #5 old style camalot, two hand size DMMs, set of nuts, ice axe left crampons at lake. Approach Notes: Traverse to highest obvious ledge system. A few glide cracks showing, but easily navigated. Walk off is snow free to glacier saddle, soft snow from there down. Aasgard is mix of snow and scree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
