Trip: The Tooth - South Face

 

Date: 10/12/2013

 

Trip Report:

Nash and I wanted to get out, even with the marginal forecast, so we decided on a technical hike. Neither of us had climbed the Tooth at Snoqualmie pass, but it's not a bad way to spend a day. One simul-climb pitch had us on the summit in much less time than it took us to pick our way through the deceivingly thin cover of snow on the boulder field approach. Had the route to ourselves, but don't think I'd do it again unless it included skinning to and skiing from the base.

Get down here, snowflakes! It's time to ski...

 

All in all, couldn't ask for more being only an hour from town. Pretty nice when you can sleep in, get to the Alpine and still go to a party all in the course of a day.

 

 

Gear Notes:

A nut and a few cams. Could probably just bring double length draws and clip the rap stations (if not crowded).

 

Approach Notes:

Wait for more snow...
