| Unusually warm day for May. Lot's of rockfall and terrible snow conditions, but a beautiful day and a great workout. Rode my bike from Icicle Road up to the trail head to find no snow at all on the road and the parking lot 80% clear. A big NO THANK YOU to the rangers for leaving the road gated for no apparent reason. | |

| Great climb. Beautiful day. Lake was still frozen and we skinned across. Glacier made for a scary/icy ski down and there was deep snow up top. We could see a party up on Triple Couliours on Dragontail. | |

| Climbed from the trailhead to the summit in 4.5 hrs. Wore approach shoes until below the glacier, then boots - crampons weren't necessary, although the top 100' was a little firm and icy. Cloudy day unfortunately. Traversed to Dragontail then down Aasgard Pass afterwards. Definitely recommend the two as a linkup. | |

| In a two-day span with great weather and great snow conditions, Gimpilator, Josh Lewis, and I summited Colchuck Peak, then Dragontail Peak, then Little Annapurna, and finally Enchantment Peak. Over 10000' of cumulative elevation gain | |

| Shared the route with one couple but other than that, all quiet. The crux was the long drive back to Spokane. | |

| First time up this summit! Snow was soft, sunk to knees some despite following steps ahead of us, but did ok. Topped out at noon. Like others, great glisade! | |

| After trying to plan this trip for about 6 weeks and always having something come up to thwart my plans, including pneumonia, I finally was able to make the trip. The weather forecast threatened to keep me away for one more week, but a buddy and I went anyway. We were rewarded with clear blue skies, little to no wind and gorgeous views from the top. Thank you to the party that left before us, (my alarm didn't go off) we had a perfect trail of steps already kicked into the deep, soft snow. Great trip and I will do this one again. | |

| Almost gave up at the lake but decided to go for it at the last minute. Going down was the best glissade in my entire life. Beautiful. Exhausting. Well worth it. | |

| Was invited on this trip with EastKing. Summited in the evening with a quick glissade down. | |

| Tough trip but awesome summit. I am glad I did it in early spring because the Class 3 crux from the col was basically a snow climb which is my favorite. Want to do Dragontail soon. | |

| Made it up both but Colchuck Col was way too late in the season with blue ice in places...had to scramble around in a side moat. Pictures and map at http://www.willhiteweb.com/enchantments/dragontail_peak/colchuck_lake_089.htm | |
