Our weeklong Mooses Tooth expedition begins at a comfortable base camp set directly on the glacier, providing a secure and scenic home for the adventure. Each participant has their own individual tent, while a large cook tent serves as the heart of camp for meals, gear prep, and gathering after long days on the mountain. A full week gives us enough time to wait for a favorable weather window, increasing the chances of safe and successful summit attempts. From this well-equipped base, we tackle the iconic Mooses Tooth, enjoying technical climbing with breathtaking views of the Ruth Gorge and surrounding peaks. If weather allows, we also aim for a second alpine route, giving climbers the chance to maximize summit opportunities while exploring more of this dramatic and remote alpine terrain.

Altitude
At 10,335 ft, altitude effects can occur. A gradual approach and proper hydration help ensure a strong summit day. Normally, climbers will feel the altitude for the last 1000 feet to the summit or so but altitude sickness rarely occurs.
