A standard Basic Rock climb of The Tooth's South Face. Despite being a last-minute idea (the plan began only 3 days before the climb,) we rallied a group of four, and our day on The Tooth went perfectly. (And as you'd expect for August: there's zero snow to deal with.)

We did the first seven pitches out of a total of 14 pitches due to good climbing on the first seven ones. Solid rock. Route finding was tricky for us on rappels. Approach is steep though with little rock fall risks.

Lovely 7 mile walk along Ruston Waterfront - great company, interesting history, spectacular artwork and wildlife, and perfect weather!

Voie De Chaise is still covered in loose rock but it is mostly avoidable on the ascent. The biggest worry for rock fall is when pulling the rope on the rappel. Overall the climbing is great!

What a great group to work with! Elizabeth, you are an awesome leader and I am grateful for your help at the PC. The place is looking great! It's nice to have returning volunteers as well, and I think you will help to keep them coming back. Cheers!

Great route in a beautiful location, but more crowded than the Tooth.

John Fang and I climbed this sport route on Saturday, August 3, 2024. The climbing is very fun and the approach unpleasant especially the last section is full of scree. This route, like all others have reported, has a high level of rock fall from upper pitches. We did not do the last pitch of scramble partly due to rock fall concerns. All picture credits go to John.

A beautiful climb of Clark Mountain via the Walrus glacier. We skipped Luahna to keep it Type 1 Fun!

Beautiful area with good camping around Rock Lake. Lots of traversing on stable boulders ending with a fun class 4 scramble to the summit with stunning views.

What a beautiful day to be on the water dodging boats and porpoises!

Building skills with team work and tapping into our strengths was essential during this trip when we encountered water challenges, hot, steep terrain, biting insects and high places. The pay-off was panoramic views and feeling safe both emotionally and physically which was paramount to our success and friendship.
