Sharkstooth.

General Sketch of the route

11 year old Katie Kelble on the summit with a proud dad.

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.

"If you leave your boots right here, I'll gladly watch them for you."

Rick Leading the second pitch.

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

1st pitch.

Climbers on the first pitch of the NE ridge.

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

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

Bonnie Von Grebe on the Northeast Ridge, circa 1993.

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

Start of the 4th 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.

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

Near the top.

June 21st, 2017 (SOOOO MUCH SNOW/ICE). Bring appropriate gear.

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

Here's a pic of anchors on top of Sharkstooth. Three old pins backed up with a chockstone. The rap station is on N.E. side of the summit.
