From tux to the top - in a hurry!

So... last minute I just came up with a thought.

I'm heading out to tux with my daughter and her ski racer teammate. As the skiing is limited in the ravine, what if we decide to hike up and top out on Washington.

I'm thinking leave skis around tux (HoJo's?) and I'll carry a daypack up with stuff.

What's the best fast route up and back. Can you give me an idea of time/mileage?

Prompt response appreciated. We're out of here in a couple hours!

quickest

I havn't been up there in a while, so don't know the conditions. Right Gully would be the quickest if it is not totally undermined, but an ice axe would be necessary. Other than that, summer Lion Head Trail.

During melt-out in the headwall, Lion Head is the shortest and most popular route up and down Washington.
