Dragontail Peak Serpentine Arête

Ser­pen­tine Arête ascends an aes­thet­ic ridge on the right side of Drag­ontail via a mix of low fifth-class rock, some eas­i­er scram­bling, and some excel­lent crux pitch­es that add just the per­fect amount of spice to the route and pro­vides a rea­son­able chal­lenge for inter­me­di­ate lev­el rock climbers and moun­taineers. From the sum­mit climbers are reward­ed with stun­ning views of Mount Stu­art, the Enchant­ments, and the azure blue of Colchuck Lake. 

Com­bine this with a few days of warm­ing up for the climb in Leav­en­worth, one of Wash­ing­ton’s rock climb­ing cen­ters, and you have an ide­al 3 – 4 day adven­ture. If so inclined, you can fin­ish up the adven­ture back in the Bavar­i­an-themed town tak­ing in a bratwurst and sauer­kraut washed down with a local­ly craft­ed brew and rev­el­ing in your time in the Enchant­ments and and the spiny Ser­pen­tine Arête on Dragontail.

This trip is done on a cus­tom basis.
