Der Tooth in Mid Hills?
Posted: Wed Jan 06, 2010 5:39 am
Does anyone know exactly where Der Tooth in the Mid Hills (Gold Valley area, Mojave NP) is?
A 1971 Smatko trip report speaks glowingly of it, commenting that he'd climbed it four times and saying "This peak is fourth class and I would recommend it highly for DPS status."
That description and the name sound intriguing, but that's the only reference I can find online:

Poking around on TOPO!, I can't find anything that looks like an obvious candidate around the Mid Hills. Guess I can hope it will make itself known when I'm out there, but it would be nice to have an idea beforehand...
