This is a mentored rock climb for Dawn Thomas. The Tooth will be a mid-week climb specifically aimed at Olympia Basic Climbing Students from 2016 who need their rock climb to graduate. If those students are not available, then this climb will be populated by current (2017) Olympia Basic Climbing students who have successfully completed the rock field lectures, field trips, and have received permission. Gear and equipment for the approach will be determined closer to the climb. This will depend on how much snow is on the ground. Additional information will be provided.
