Climb: The Tooth!-South Face

 

Date of Climb: 5/30/2005

 

Trip Report:

One more ascent of the Tooth. Woohoo! thumbs_up.gif

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gear Notes:

Good news:

Lots of booty! Found a brand-new looking ArcTeryx schoeller type shirt (my size thumbs_up.gif) on the hike up and liberated two pieces from the South Face.

 

Bad News:

Ran into the guy who dropped the shirt on the South Face (rats!), and the two pieces were hexes mad.gif.

 

The bright side:

They are positively the best size of hexes; old school Chouinard #7 with the large chord holes, and brand-new wired #2. And I think that schoeller stuff is pretty useless anyway (though it probably would've had excellent resale value).

 

Approach Notes:

No snow at all above Source Lake. Usually there is snow there in late July!! shocked.gif

 

Sloppy snow in the Great Scott basin to where you're just about never sure if you're gonna punch through or not. Still can finagle a reasonably long glissade right at the top.
