Trip Report:

Climbed the Tooth Saturday. Attempted to avoid the rope orgy that occured..... wow. Simply had to share this picture.

 

1 team rapping. 1 fixed line being prussiked by multiple people. 2 separate teams with lead ropes, all on the same pitch and crack.

Peter, get your knife.

 

What?

 

Just do as I say.

 

Get it!

 

You don't have much time here.

 

You have to do something for me.

 

Cut me loose.

 

One cam can't hold us all.

 

You have to cut me loose...

 

...or else I'll pull everybody down. Everybody will die!

The main problem was the Mazamas putting up fixed lines for a large group to prussic and clogging the route big time. This lead to a breakdown of the normal wait your turn or communicate with the other team about passing procedure as a few groups (including my group that took an alternate to pitch one climbers right) tried to climb variations to get around them.

I've actually soloed the Tooth when it's like this. The mounties, boealps, mazamas, are objective hazards that train you for the rigors of the big alpine. You def want to be wearing a helmet though.

A friend of mine watched a German shepherd get disemboweled by a nan goat one time at the base of SEWS. The dog thought her kid looked tasty. Ooops.
