Sharkstooth.

General Sketch of the route

Rick Leading the second pitch.

Rappel beta for 2nd anchors: the right side shows my rope ends after rapping from the first anchor with a 70m (Knot your ends!). This brings you to the ledge where you can walk to the 2nd anchors shown on the left side. The lines show the path I walked.

A route overlay.

The route follows the buttress in the sunlight on the left. Two false summits are on the route.

1st pitch.

The final rap anchor as of Aug. 2022 - I believe it's a couple pins and a couple nuts and super bomber.

One of the rap anchor... it's "ok".

Leading up pitch 3. It's a looong one if you want to make the first false summit.

Start of the 4th pitch.

The summit pitch.

The crux layback on pitch 2. It's a bit flaring, but there's an easy cam placement at the base.

Getting ready at the base.

5th pitch (we did the climb in 4 long pitches with 60m rope), July 18 2009.

The wide crack on pitch 5. There are plenty of features to keep the climbing at 5.5. No wide gear is necessary.

Coming down.

Looking up P2.
