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.

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.
