Came back for a repeat of this scramble after doing the Apache Couloir. The traverse from Apache is airy with a bit of class 4. Some lingering snow made the moves in the chimney a bit spicier, but still reasonable. We took an optional 5.4ish chimney after traversing right out of the west chimney that took us to near the summit. Navajo is a cool summit!
2x and counting... love it! Date Climbed: Aug 28, 2005
8/28/05 - Climbed Apache's East Ledges and traversed over to Navajo. The chimney was delightful but we couldn't enjoy it much because we were getting hit by graupel! GREAT chimney!
6/21/10 - Climbed Apache Couloir and traversed to Navajo. The chimney had a bit of ice and snow and was a lot of fun. More time to enjoy it this time!
enjoyable climb in a smaller chimney. not what i was expecting, but it was a great time! the three smaller snowfields near the base of the chimney were easily avoided.
