[[TR] Das Toof - The Tooth Fairy, 5.9+ 08/15/2019]

Had an Absolute blast on this route yesterday. Could see from baker to mt Adams, what a treat.   Super fun, consistent climbing, plum repelling. We tied pitches 2-3,4-5, and 6,7.   A few loose blocks on some of the roofier moves, but all and all a fantastic stress free day out.     

Moderate, bolted, alpine climbs, humans love those!

[[TR] Quartz Mountain - Training Day 07/14/2018]

Got all thirteen pitches in last Sunday with Russel Cunningham, and had an absolute blast.

first things first, I lost my keys out there,  i just went up to the base of the climb yesterday to look for them, no dice.  My best guess is that they are near the top of pitch 9 as we took a little nap in the trees there.  If anyone goes up in the next couple weeks please give a quick look around as its my only reliable truck key.

Next, great route.

p1-7 Apart from the first feature off the ground (I went to the far right under the roof then right,) which doesn't protect well, i find this to be great climbing which i would recommend to anyone, the climbing is clean and the route is easy to find.  I've climber up to the top of seven twice now, the first time i didn't pay attention to the "yard on cedars" beta, and went far right on the upper face to a feature that climbs back right to the anchor.  It was scary but really good climbing.  This time I "yarded on cedars" and thought that was unnecessary,  I had Russel just climb five feet to the right of the trees on top rope and it definitely went too.  Thus I would be willing to go up there with some one with the knowhow and see if we can't put a couple bolts in the greatly improve that section of the climb.

p8 is fine, bolts are a little hidden at the top, commit and you'll find them

p9 - pretty rambling - look for my keys.

p10 was my favorite pitch.  interesting enough climbing and finally a lot of exposure

p11 i was not too fond of,  slippery dirty scrubby, I was pretty that i was belaying from the wrong tree,  as it turn out i wasn't, to stay on track just follow the border of the Forrest and the slab, and you'll get there.

12 and 13 went well and rapping was very straight forward.

I agree that the rap line looks like a brilliant climb, until you get to the second to last rap and steepness really picks up.  I went up yesterday on my key recon and got a few pictures of it.  Maybe there is an option to the far right, but it doesn't take  a lot of climbing at the fee demo wall to realize that 5.9 and 5.12 really look a lot alike.  Never the less it could be worth poking around . Also, it looks like there could be a scrubby crappy bushy route to the far left of the rap line, but i'm not sure that would be worth it.
