Bear Tooth , also The Bear's Tooth , Bear's Tooth or Bears Tooth (English for " Bear's Tooth "), is a 3,069 m high peak in the Alaska range in Alaska (USA).
geography
The summit is located in a rock massif in the west-central section of the Alaska range 23.3 km southeast of Denali . Bear Tooth is connected via a 2880 m high saddle to the somewhat higher Mooses Tooth , which is about 640 m north-northwest . Due to the low notch height, it forms its secondary summit and was formerly also known as its southern summit. To the south the ridge continues over the peaks Eye Tooth and Sugar Tooth . The Great Gorge , a section of Ruth Glacier , runs west of Bear Tooth. The breeding ground of the Buckskin Glacier lies on the eastern flank of Bear Tooth . Several challenging climbing routes lead up to the summit.
Ascent history
The first ascent was made in 1973 by a US mountaineering group consisting of Margaret Young, Dave Lunn and Dave O'Neil. The ascent route led from Ruth Glacier to the saddle between Mooses Tooth and Bear Tooth and on to the summit.
