The Tooth: The Tooth Fairy \\\\ Sunset Sport Climbing

With very little plans after our main goal of the west ridge of Mt Stuart the day before, Ed was looking through the Classic Cascade Climbs book and found The Tooth Fairy route on The Tooth that quickly became our objective on our way back to Seattle.
-
The Tooth Fairy is 5.9+ 6 pitch sport route was a lot of fun, Ed and I swung leads with Ed taking the crux pitch. Even though we were chasing the sun and were a little low on draws for the route, we were able to complete the climb and get an amazing summit with the sun going down. Our descent went fast with the twin 70 M, but it still involved some night time rapping, which was actually very fun.

After hiking over 50 miles over 3 days in Glacier National Park, I would have never have guessed the place we would see Grizzly Bears was at 9500 feet near Mount Siyeh! - What was meant to be a chill Class 3 scramble day, turned into a bit more than we bargained for as 7 grizzly bears stood between us and the summit. This didn't stop us from having an amazing day by completing the hike over Siy...

If you want to trad climb, don't leave the climbing harness at home! - What started as an ideal plan of going for an easy trad day turned into a scramble for different plans after discovering my harness was not in my bag. However, utilizing Mountain Project and The Climbers Guide to Grand Teton NP, we soon realized that our goal had a class 4 scramble off the back side instead, so that turned i...

All plans look great when looking at it on a map! - A 4th of July summit that started out as a very fun ridge scramble, turned into a marble covered slip and slide to regain the normal route. Despite it taking 10.5 hours to summit and only 2.5 hours to get back to the car, we couldn't have asked for better weather as we attempted the Northwest Ridge route on Idaho's Tallest Peak!

"The plan has changed" - Cody Townsend - Sometimes the line you want to ski is not in, so you ski the backup line and still have a great time! Alex and Shane carried the rope all the way to the top of Utah's Little Matterhorn for an attempt at the NW couloir, but after waiting around for it to soften, it never did, soa we decided to just ski the softer SE face instead! - 4-20-24

When a storm dumps two feet of snow, you put the ice tools down and grab the skis! - Due to high avi danger, we still had to keep it mellow, but days like today were days you dream of for back country skiing!

Ice climbing side by side with your best friend is one awesome experience! - Horsetail Falls was the second climb of Day 2 of our ice climbing trip to Ouray, Colorado, and boy was it fun!

Just a fun day out with the guys! - Our first climb of Day 2 of our Brotastic Ice Climbing Adventure Trip! Due to the heavy snowfall, we had to abandon the Eureka climbing plans and head to climbs with lower overhead hazard, but that didn't stop us from having a blast at Dexter Slabs/Falls just outside of Ouray, CO! Great to get Insane Shane back on the tools again as well, as we slowly turn hi...
