Excellent day up and down Dragontail with AK. Leavenworth area was the only pocket without clouds and we made the most of it. Started from Seattle @ 4 and on the trail at 6:50. Pretty much snowless until the top of Aasgard. While we were putting on our crampons we watched a guys slide out at the crux about 100ft. Thankfully the softish snow that likely caused the slide made it easier for him to self arrest. Put me a little on edge for that traverse, but everything went fine. Views up top were spectacular. Stuart dominates the area. Our total RT time was 10 hours, 40 minutes. Great peak and one of the most beautiful places you can visit in the world. Hiked out with Drew, a good dude.
