Sharkstooth.

General Sketch of the route

Rappel beta for 2nd anchors: the right side shows my rope ends after rapping from the first anchor with a 70m (Knot your ends!). This brings you to the ledge where you can walk to the 2nd anchors shown on the left side. The lines show the path I walked.

"If you leave your boots right here, I'll gladly watch them for you."

Rick Leading the second pitch.

The route follows the buttress in the sunlight on the left. Two false summits are on the route.

Tony Bubb "leads" (solos) up the narrowing ridge of the route, headed for another spacious belay ledge. Photo by Sarah Shull, 1996.

Climbers on the NE Ridge, as viewed from the summit of the Petit Grepon.

1st pitch.

The final rap anchor as of Aug. 2022 - I believe it's a couple pins and a couple nuts and super bomber.

Leading up pitch 3. It's a looong one if you want to make the first false summit.

One of the rap anchor... it's "ok".

Climbers on the first pitch of the NE ridge.

The summit pitch.

Start of the 4th pitch.

The crux layback on pitch 2. It's a bit flaring, but there's an easy cam placement at the base.

Getting ready at the base.

Nathan seconding second pitch while marmots rifle through our packs below.

Coming down.

5th pitch (we did the climb in 4 long pitches with 60m rope), July 18 2009.

Nate A. starting up pitch 3.

Chris approaching the face

View from the top.

The wide crack on pitch 5. There are plenty of features to keep the climbing at 5.5. No wide gear is necessary.

June 21st, 2017 (SOOOO MUCH SNOW/ICE). Bring appropriate gear.

Near the top.

Here's a pic of anchors on top of Sharkstooth. Three old pins backed up with a chockstone. The rap station is on N.E. side of the summit.
