@aqualone - thanks for the recon. :)

That picture looks like it's from the same spot as this shot from gould pass https://www.flickr.com/photos/79770146@N05/8603748319/

It looks like it could be a little bit north of this shot of the pass when it still had the wooden stake at it, but that could be positioning on one side of the pass or another: http://highsierratopix.com/community/vi ... 895#p93895

It does look like Gould is simpler but sloggier. At some point it'd be interesting to try and find a better route through the last 200ft or so of gain on Dragon - either the ledges closer in (N) of the terrible chute we went up, or perhaps going a bit past it looking for another.

Dragon pass isn't at the true low point of the pass, but slightly south of it:
