Trip: Tooth - South Face

 

Date: 4/28/2012

 

Trip Report:

We climbed the tooth on Saturday. There was lots of wet slushy snow from the storm a couple days before, but it was melting fast and there was only old snow on the major ledges and the 3rd (scramble) pitch. There is a fairly good size moat opening on the approach gully, it is currently passible on climbers left but this will probably get harder as this snow bridge melts out.
