Here is the GPS route I put together based on the route description and maps he provided. The climbing part of the route leaves the lake and ascends colchuck glacier, left up a col and and left up a gully to the summit of dragontail. We descend across Dragontail Glacier and down aasgard Pass back to camp. Colchuck ascent route not shown on these waypoints (we ascend colchuck Glacier and take path of least resistance.) Waypoints are UTM NADCONUS. The data shows the waypoint name, Total trip distance to that point; distance since last point (leg); compass bearing to that point; UTM coordinates and elevation at that point.
