One last view looking down the NE Couloir from near its apex. A ski/board descent, anyone? You wouldn't get many link turns in, but it might be fun...to scrape your way back and forth down Argonaut's esophagus. Hey, that would be a great name for this route/couloir: "The Esophagus." Better yet would be "Jason's Esophagus" after the leader of the argonauts in Greek legend. We were in quest of the Golden Fleece. The only golden thing we would find, though, was the rock...and the warm orb above, of course. May 2, 2004.
