During a ski trip
Date is a wild guess. Climbed it via easy side while hanging out in Enchantment Basin for several days, skiing all over and climbing easier stuff.

Gorgeous day.
Took the west route and was surprised at how much more work it is to get to the summit from Pandora's Box. Great views of the lakes make it all worth it.

Lots of rock climbing on tht day!

Original plan was Triple Couloirs
As gcap said - aborted attempt on "Triple Coo" due to rock fall danger and questionable snow conditions. Probably just a bit too late in the season, but we thought the big winter might have allowed us to squeeze it in. Just weren't sure what condition the runnels would be in so played it safe and slogged up to Aasgard Pass. Amazing views!

I gotta say this peak was pretty fun!

Enchantment Slam!
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!
We traversed from Colchuck Peak to Dragontail Peak on the first day. We got very lucky with conditions during that traverse. Above the SW Couloir of Dragontail Peak, we had to downclimb the steepest snow slope any of us had ever done. If the snow had been icier or powdery, considering we had no rope, it could have been treacherous. We lucked-out, and got through OK. Great views from the summit!
Direct North Face in winter (much harder than TC), Triple Couloirs, Serpentine Arete.

Great Ski
Humped the ski gear up to Colechuck lake, strapped on the gear and skied across the lake and up Asgard Pass. Very prevalent avy debris in Asgard. Set up camp next to one of the frozen lakes and hunkered down for the night (very cold and windy).
Woke up to a beautiful morning! Strapped on the skis again and ascended the face to the summit. The ski down that face was one of the best runs I've had all season. Perfect corn.

Backbone To Fin
Climbed it sometime late 2009 can't remember the date. Great times. Backbone to Fin rules.

Triple Couloirs
I feel a little cheated b/c the route was in awesome condition. Perfect snow covered almost all of the technical sections outside of an ice step and a rock traverse. Great route.

Denied the Summit
Scrambled up Asgaard pass and ran into ice and snow about 300' from the summit. We called it good and turned back. It was a great day!
Had every intention of bagging Dragontail and Colchuck. Turned around less than 100 feet from the saddle between the two peaks, due to rockfall. Small stuff is bad enough, but when a microwave sized rock comes barreling down at you and you still have to downclimb it later- that's just not a game I'm playing. (Attempted from the north.)

Climbed via the snow slopes after weather thwarted our attempt on the Backbone ridge route.

East Ridge
Camped overnight at Aasgard Pass and watched the sunset and moonrise. Summited in the morning but thick cloud cover obscured the views.

Colchuck to Asgaard
Climbed this guy with SouthRaker. Awesome views, beautiful scenery! I'll probably get my hiking legs under me before doing Asgaard again. A little slow and shakey going down
Great views of everything. One of the most exciting summits I've been on, the small ledge overlooking the lake a couple feet below the summit is awesome! Climbed up the small glacier from Aasgard pass and came back down via the Dragontail-Annapurna snow col. Ended up being a 14 hour day at a very relaxed pace with lots of stops.
