Frankazoid Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 seems a group of 6 would be a bit more respectable, eh? 4 students and 2 instructors. that party had 12, and the next person mentioned that there was also a party of 15!!! that is batshit crazy dude. how could that be enjoyable anyway for the students? people are f'n nuts man.

num1mc Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Newbie fight. Almost as cool as a girl fight No tits, but a good number of boobs and bitches Quote
genepires Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 it is the tooth so why get all bent out of shape? I say, let the clubs have their place to take the masses. They clog up the route a fixed number of days so if you really wan to climb the tooth, work around those days or before they show up. the other option of making them split up into smaller groups (1) and more locations (2) will (1)- make it so there are more days with slow groups on the tooth. What is the difference between a group of 6 or 12? not much as either way you are stuck at the bottom. (2)- makes every other climb crowded Large climbing clubs are a established entity. complaining about it or work around it. I like the don't worry be happy approach. At least the clubs are predictable. Quote
Dave A. Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 I agree with genepires, agree more with DPS. Girls are fun. It looks to me like the whole group was having fun. I've not climbed in the Snoq. pass area, from the freeway it looks as though there must be other objectives in the neighorhood. If you have your heart set on climbing the Tooth (or Ingalls or any other popular beginners climb) maybe you could check their websites to see if they will be there that day. I spend a lot of time up the Icicle. If there are a lot of cars below an area I either move on or go ahead and walk up so I can talk to the pretty girls. Quote
kurthicks Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 If the group is larger than 12 they should get popped by the USFS for violating the Wilderness Act. Quote
builder206 Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 And at least the WAC has pretty girls. a key takeaway here Quote

ScottP Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 If the group is larger than 12 they should get popped by the USFS for violating the Wilderness Act. The Tooth is not in any wilderness area. When the south face is gummed up with big parties (which is quite frequent IME), drop around the corner and do the SW Face. Fun climbing that's no harder than 5.5, with lots of room for variations. The N ridge is also a consolation if you aren't into the adventure of the SW or W face routes. Quote

kurthicks Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 agreed, it's not. but are they pulling the same shenanigans on Ingalls Peak or the Easton Glacier on Baker? Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 agreed, it's not. but are they pulling the same shenanigans on Ingalls Peak or the Easton Glacier on Baker? On a glacier it's often easy to go around large, slow parties. Quote
genepires Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 it is fun to follow huge herds on glaciers. Some of the best bootpacks they make. Quote

olyclimber Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I wonder what the record is for teh largest party clamberin the Almighty Toof? Surely it has be be more than 20??? Quote
olyclimber Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 This early image of Das Toofwand surely sets a bar: Quote
Buckaroo Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I've run laps on the Tooth with a bunch of mounties on it. It's good training for objective hazard. Quote
