Basic Rock Climb - The Tooth/South Face

Alex Piers  will be in charge as the Mentored Leader, with Rob Busack along to co-lead. 

This climb is primarily for students of the Seattle "Following to Alpine Rock" course. 

• If you're a student in the Seattle "Following Alpine Rock" course, you have permission to sign up on May 5th. 
• If you're a student or grad from some other Basic course, you're welcome to email Alex for leader-permission starting on May 12th.

In your leader permission request, please give me a sense of your fitness by mentioning 2 or 3 specific trips you've done in the past year (for example, "Recently did X hiking trail, which has Y amount of elevation gain, in Z amount of hours & minutes up.") And tell me about at least one time you've carried an ice axe & crampons for snow travel.   (As an early-June climb of the Tooth, we'll certainly need & use ice axes, probably also crampons.)  On this climb, pack-weight will be in the ballpark of 35lbs, and we'll move at a brisk pace gaining 1000' per hour.

TBD - will be specified in the pre-trip email.  Snow Lake trailhead, early in the morning.
