Sarah Shull hangs out on the summit of Sharkstooth. Although this is the highest summit in the park that lacks a "non-technical" ascent route, it is easily accessible by rock graded at 5.6.<br>

This is a photo of Peter Hubbel and Julia, his sister in RMNP, circa 1975, wIth permission. Julia wrote Pete was teaching me my first climb, which was a 5.9 crack. I tore the shit out of my hands and told him, with all due respect, this wasn't my sport.

A typical bivy in RMNP. Find a good overhanging rock and hope it stays dry. This one is up above Chasm Lake and is good for hitting the Diamond via Alexander's Chimney. Photo by Joseffa Meir, 2001.
