Approach
From Colchuck Lake, follow the obvious trail through the trees on the west side of the lake. On reaching the boulder field at the south end of the lake, follow cairns eastwards and upward to Aasgard Pass. The trail is steep but marked with cairns in the areas where it isn't immediately obvious where to go; up towards the top are one or two scrambly points. In early season this approach is likely to be entirely snow-covered.
Note that the Aasgard route takes about as long going up as it does going down.
Route Description
Just before cresting the very top of the pass, keep an eye out on the right for a tarn (may not be there early season) and the low saddle area on Dragontail's east ridge. Break from the climber's trail here, cross a rough boulder field, and follow a ledge above the tarn to reach the foot of the Snow Creek Glacier / snowfield. This glacier is fairly tame with virtually no crevasses; book claims it's 30 degree angle at the most. Make your way upwards wherever is easiest to attain the saddle area. In the later season here you'll be able to get off the snow here. From the saddle, follow a faint climber's trail upwards with a fun easy scramble (class 3) to the summit above. Beware the sheer drop off Dragontail's north face - looking almost directly down at Colchuck Lake below.
Depending on time it may be possible to combo Dragontail with the Witches Tower, Little Annapurna, or just hang out at some the beautiful lakes up in the Upper Enchantment Basin area.
Essential Gear
In the late season, one could probably get by without -- but an ice axe and crampons may be recommended in the event it's icy. Earlier in the season parties may possibly want rope, harnesses & some snow protection. There is some rockfall danger in the area, so a helmet is probably a good idea.
