1st pitch on The Sharkstooth's Northeast Ridge

brenta climbs the first pitch on The Sharkstooth's Northeast Ridge (July 3, 2006). Although it looked good from below the dihedral was quite grubby and nasty - filled with moss, dirt, and lichen. From about where he is in the photo, brenta traversed left to complete the pitch via some steep face climbing. There are other options. [Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, USA]
