I think that may stretch it to as much as a month in good weather; not more than 2 in anything but the winter worst. In "the cold season" it sounds effectively impassable. Better to wait around a month or two and make the faster later trip (and likely not lose much total elapsed time getting to the other side).
I still expect that if things went their way, 3 weeks wouldn't be astounding. But I'd hedge it to 5.5+/-1weeks depending on weather.
