Wil_Carter Posted July 7, 2001 Share Posted July 7, 2001 My Bud and I want to climb the Tooth, but neither of us has been there. We are wondering if it will be plastered with people on Monday. We have all day. Looks like good intro to N. Cascades climbing. Any other advise is of course most welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambone Posted July 8, 2001 Share Posted July 8, 2001 Hey will, I climbed Ingalls Peak on Friday. I'd definately recomend it a a intro Cascade Alpine Climb. Great rock, sweet view, and a nice setting, easily done in a day. you may want an axe if you go in approach shoes. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil_Carter Posted July 10, 2001 Author Share Posted July 10, 2001 The Tooth was a joy. Ingalls Peak looks fun too. My intro to the N. Cascades was a real pleasure, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambone Posted July 10, 2001 Share Posted July 10, 2001 Oh yeah Will, do Ingalls midweek for sure... One rope, stoppers and Hexes is all you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerg Posted July 10, 2001 Share Posted July 10, 2001 The route in Nelson's first book is fun. Like Mr. Bone says, nuts and hexs are enough gear. The last belay station isn't in an obvious place, I didn't think, as the rap ring and sling had blown back on top of the ledge where I couldn't see it from below. I ended up setting a belay about 10 feet below it, using a 0.2 camalot and some nuts and a cordelette. I felt a lot more secure with the camalot than if i had used a 00 metolius. Haven't done the route in the second book yet, so can't provide any beta for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
