It's also the back way into the Enchantments by going up the left side of your picture.    That's where the Asgaard Pass "trail" is.   I slipped down it one year in the snow and had a chance to talk to God.

I was noting your weather.  Wouldn't have wanted to be up there today.  Blewitt got a couple inches of hail/ice.   That might have been pucker city.

It rained a lot on our way down....the trail becomes a stream.  Thanks for the compliment seth, it is taken with my cell phone.

Although the face of Colchuck looks daunting (it is a full day climb, more than a dozen pitches), you can actually walk up to the top via the backside---the access is through the saddle on the left of your photograph.

Goats galore up there, no special equipment needed.  Almost anybody could hike through the Enchantments.

Try the one day hike thru its awesome
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.
