First time attempting the tooth, very low visibility and little to no boot tracks made route finding difficult. Broke over the clouds reaching pineapple pass made for a more enjoyable but still blistering cold ascent of the south face, climbing in boots and gloves, many cracks/holds filled with snow and ice making this 5.4 slightly more intimidating. Ultimately we ended up turning around at the base of the last pitch due to a system rolling in over the mountains and light fading fast. An exciting day, seemed to be the only ones up there in a while, and maybe for another while as the winter weather has seemed to really kick off. Great climb!

Good year round conditioning hike

Views would have been quite spectacular had we had a clearer day. Sketchy summit with conditions like this.

Our group of four hikers had a great time. The trail was in good condition and we saw some interesting things. Everyone was a happy hiker.

This was a good early-season trip for B3 students and a good warm-up for other backpackers.

This was a good early-season route. It rained much more than expected and we all got drenched, but the route was passable, we reached our destination, and everyone returned safely – so the trip was a success.

Prior to any significant snowfall of winter season. 10.5 hours RT from trailhead to Upper Lena Lake. Counted at least ten fallen trees across trail after Lower Lena Lake that required going over or under. Last 1.4 miles has multiple steep sections and two creek crossings.

Usually offered as a snowshoe via the Jungle Creek Rd route, but this trip was via Tarzan Butte so posting it as a scramble was more appropriate. Easy trip with stunning views from Teanaway summit.

Good trip in light drizzle up to 5000' and light snow to Marmot Pass. Stopped at Marmot Pass due to about 1.5 feet of new snow. Snow did not look much heavier higher up, so summit appeared possible.
