Please join us on this climb of The Tooth, a Snoqualmie Pass classic.  We will expect to take the summer route, but encounter a fair amount of snow on the approach. 

 I'm trying something a little new with this climb--having potential participants fill out a form to ensure that you meet the baseline for the climb and then running a lottery to try making registration more inclusive of folks who do not have access to The Mountaineers' website at the time registration opens.  Thank you for taking an extra few moments to fill out the forms which will ask questions about your recent conditioning, completion of necessary field trips, and, if you are a Basic or Following on Alpine Rock grad, volunteerism. The response period will be from May 13 through May 25th, and I will let everyone know the results on May 27th.

If you are a Basic Climbing or Following on Alpine Rock Graduate, please fill out this form.  If you are a Basic Climbing Student or Following on Alpine Rock Student, please fill out this form
