Moose's Tooth face - 1700 vertical meters

 
Step #2: All the expedition's details
 

The base camp of the Moose’s Tooth in Alaska is easily accessible by
light planes, which land directly on the glacier. Here, we will attempt to
open a route, failed in 2005, on this superb arrow point of granite that
pierces the skyline at 1500m above the glacier.
In the same style as the first attempt, our solid duo will be lit up 24/7 by
the summer sun of the north pole.

We will take on the ascent in pure alpine style (with lightweight
equipment)
and it may last many hours depending how many
difficulties we have to get over. We have chosen to work with France
Meteo in order to limit the possibility of stormy weather conditions
on the climb.

Our recent expedition in the Mont Blanc (Royal Sequence) range
has further reinforced our teamwork and mountaineering
experience.

Our friendship originates from our winter journey on the north face of the Trollryggen in Norway and the first attempt of the Moose’s Tooth in
2005 and our passion for mountaineering binds us together. There is no room for half measures, everything is pushed to the extreme:
Technical ability, moral and physical commitment, confidence in each other and of course, the pleasure and achievement of the ride.

‘The return to the Moose’s Tooth’ is the second stage of the Shining Wall project.
