View of the Gash and NE side of Sharkstooth.

Sharkstooth looking quite ominous. Finished the climb right as a storm moved in.

The 4th rappel station.

1st rap station as of July 15, 2012 - we added 2 nuts and a rap ring, replaced webbing, and equalized. The pins and old deformed/ovalized rings are pretty scary.

Approach from the lower portion of The Gash.

The approach through The Gash. We took the yellow line via easy ledges. I also saw climbers approach and exit through the notch (red).

The alcove with the summit rappel. The rings are around the block.

The approach above The Gash.

The 2nd rappel, skipping the third station, as we had double 70s.

The approach through the boulderfield and The Gash.

Tony Bubb & Sarah Shull on the summit of Sharkstooth in 1996. A storm has passed below which we waited out from above. Self-portrait taken with a timer.

Looking down on the bottom 2/3 of the Northeast ridge. Super day no rain at all!!

Ralph on the first rappel (July 19, 2009).

Laura on the third rappel (July 19, 2009).

The rappel from the summit block. We used two 70s to get to the second rap, also pictured, but a single 70m will get you to the grassy ledges above, and you could downclimb to the next rappel. Double 60s would also get you to the second rap rings.

The summit rappel rings, which are a short downclimb from the summit in an alcove.

Probably the best bivy site in The Gash, just look for the 2 story house-sized boulder.<br>

Anyone know what the boulder problem coming up out of it is? Looks...hard.

The Northeast Ridge is in the center of the formation painted by the sunrise. It turns into a bit of a flying buttress.
