The Tooth
August 18, 2007

With nothing lined up for
the weekend, I helped out a fellow climber, Monique, lead a small
group up the Tooth on Saturday. Having done it numerous times
prior, I thought it would make for a short and fun day. It was
not until afterwards that I recalled why exactly we avoid this peak
on weekends - it is often crowded. With a team from the
Boealps (Boeing Alpine Club) in front of us, our day ended at
8:00pm.

Source Lake on an overcast morning. The possibility of rain looms.

Fringed Grass-of-Parnassus? At least that would be my guess from what I researched.
I didn't even realize the beauty of this flower until I took a closer look.
The upper basin is filled with talus, bolders, rubble, scree, etc.
To think I signed up for this kind of fun?
Umm, bluebell? Actually this is a Harebell.
This is Lee en route. I didn't take any pictures after this one.
