The Shark's Tooth is a peak in Rocky Mountain National Park, about an
hour's drive north of Boulder.
It takes 5 miles of hiking and half-a-dozen rope-lengths of moderate
climbing (up to 5.6 or so) to get to the top.
Here are some pictures from when Rick and I did the climb in July 2006.
This is where we camped the night before the climb.
The Shark's Tooth is the obvious pinnacle in the background.

thunderclouds were starting to roll over.

is Taylor Peak.

get back to the groups.
The Petit Grepon, another popular climbing destination, as
seen from the base of Shark's Tooth. Maybe an objective for 2007?
