Description
Hike the trail to Emerald Lake and continue along the right side (careful of water running underneath snow/ice). The route is to the left of Dragon's Tail. Both are pretty much the same type of climb. Dragon's Tooth had a pretty nice snow cornice we chopped through. Perfect route for beginners to see mixed climbing and to adjust to using crampons/mountaineering axes and to practice anchors with little to no risk of a serious fall.
