Sharks tooth trip report
A massive shout out to Don Patterson for guiding us up to the summit of sharks tooth. What a scramble of endless rock looking out over the ski field below. Very deceiving in estimated time and then suddenly you were popping out at the top!
Lunch was taken at the summit, surprisingly low wind made that a very pleasant occasion. My favourite was the decent of the chimney into the crater for the summer exit back to the lodge.
Some amazing photographs were taken by the group to remember this achievement.
Now, Who’s keen to do a winter assent on this route?!
