B Deleted_Beck Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 So it looks like ye ol' Dragon is a walk-off, no? Just hike down the south side till you get below the NE ridge, and follow it down and around back up to the north, and you're back at the lake? Thanks -Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraken Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I've climbed it twice in the summer and there are several rappels on good anchors. These will deposit you on a slope heading straight for Asgard Pass. It is quite straight forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genepires Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 with good visibility it is obvious. from summit, walk far skiers right traversing above large cliff band, to a snow slope that will get you below those same cliffs. Go down to small pond in perma snowfield and keep going in same direction to asguard pass. I never looked for rock anchors as described above. That initial snow slope can be very icy in august and your route up may not need crampons. Those rappels would be nice to use then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 also worth noting it depends on if you are descending from the main summit of the NE summit. whatcha climbin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
