Having climbed a majority of the other classic crack climbing routes on the ridge I'd definitely say that this is one of the best so far....Lots of off- width crack technique employed, including some full body squeeze chimney to boot...Physical...to say the least...Combine it with Conan's Gonads ( 150 feet of 5.9 hand and fist jamming ) for the first pitch up to the roosting ramp, makes this one sweet crack climbing link- up...Highly recommended!

A better Perspective...Closer and from the other side...
The sweetest link- up. Conan's Gonads to Wolf's Tooth....
Jason Estes doing battle with Conan....This 5.9 is as steep and physical as it looks!
Feeling a little nervous.....
The off-width start to Wolfs Tooth...
The awesome view back down the chimney of the Tooth....
J2 sporting a nice fist jam near the end of the pitch....
After one more funky 5.7 pitch we were standing on the summit....Totally awesome climb and one that I look forward to repeating.... after my body recovers.....
Peace, Jason
