Bronco Posted January 18, 2002 Posted January 18, 2002 On the hike in yesterday we noticed at least 2 fat looking flows on the hill up to the south. The E. face of the Tooth was pretty thin with not much for pro other than trees. Quote
al Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Where you of the party of 4 I saw moving up to the Tooth from Source Lake on Thur morning. I was on a solo thing to Snoqualmie and noticed this group. Was wondering what they found. Looking across the valley showed lots of snow on the NE ridge of Tooth. Quote

You had a largeish looking pack on. We were wondering where you went. Did you hear the very loud thunder around 4 or 5 in the afternoon? We had thought it was avy's at first. Quote
al Posted January 22, 2002 Posted January 22, 2002 I was heading up Snoqual. mtn. from the north side of the west ridge. I spent the night up there and scouted out the New York Gully route and back side of the mountain. I thought the booming was avy blasting. Quote
Colin Posted January 22, 2002 Posted January 22, 2002 Bronco- Did you climb the E face proper, or the NE slab? Al- How did the NY Gully look? Quote

I think it was the NE slab's first pitch then a 100' no pro traverse to the north side of the east face where we climbed 2 more short pitches to the ridge. I don't know about the gully, I am not really familiar with the area. So Surry. Quote
mattp Posted January 22, 2002 Posted January 22, 2002 Bronco- Did you start in the gully/chimney system at the right edge of the face? Your description of "a 100' traverse followed by two short pitches to the ridge" sounds just about like the route proper. -Matt Quote
