Sounds like an awesome climb! I’ve heard of people going night-time ice climbing but I think that was more because it’s just dark so early Full moon climbing does sound nice.

It was actually surprisingly scenic, there was quite a bit of light for looking around since there was so much snow and we’re close enough to town to catch light pollution off the bottom of the clouds… With the moonlight I think we could have climbed without headlamps though.

I was hoping that we would have the route to ourselves, but I wasn’t counting on it. The Tooth is pretty much the easiest “alpine” climb in the area, is an hour drive from Seattle, and is an island of solid rock in a sea of choss, so it’s really popular, day and night…

Sounds like a lovely way to spend an evening. I love your picture of “the view.” Haha. And you helped install a door the next morning? Too bad about the moon, I bet that would have been awesome to see everything lit up.

Awesome, Laurel! I’ve done some night climbing here in the Flatirons. Another bonus: You have the climb to yourself.
