Argonaut Peak/Southeast Ridge

This is an interesting rock route by way of the SE spire (false summit), continuing to the highest point.

-- Fred Beckey, Cascade Alpine Guide Vol. 1

Notes

•  The approach from Ingalls Creek is a long, strenuous bushwhack to reach the base of the climb. We do not recommend this approach even though it may be appealing to combine it with a climb of the Sherpa Peak's West Ridge. The approach via Colchuck Col is better.
• The lower pitches are blocky, a bit awkward, somewhat  hard to protect, and have lots of lichen.
