The Tooth Climb

First View of the Tooth

Closer

Allan, Eric, Peter in no rush

Is my tooth beginning to ache?  Oh, I guess not.  The route doesn't go straight up here.  Rather, the route goes through the left notch, around the back of the left sharpened incisor "tooth", and up the left edge of our pearly white.

Elev. 5604 ft, Grade II, 5.4

Allen squeezes steps over the 20 ft chasm

Peter leading the second pitch

This is way too easy for him.  Maybe no toothache at all.

Eric & Allen.  Below them is Pineapple pass, the start of the roped climb.

Rainier faintly visible.

Chair Peak

Looking at the last scramble from the summit.

Ahh... 5604 feet feels real good.  What ache?

The third pitch

That was a wild rappel and glissade on show.
