Day 108

After hitting the local outfitters to find RJ a new sleeping bag, his old one was a 40 degree bag and it's been below 40's several times and we have the higher peaks ahead of us. We got back on the trail to another foggy and wet day.
That made going up the "dreaded" dragon's tooth more interesting. The dragon's tooth is a fairly steep scramble over some granite that the NoBos had warned us about as being a dangerous and scary spot that we needed to watch out for. I'll grant them that it was an actual scramble but there were so many foot and hand holds that even in the pouring rain it was easy. Unfortunately due to the weather I didn't take the .1 side trail to see the fog obscuring the dragon's tooth itself or take any pictures of the water climb. Due to the late start, rocky and wet trail and cold weather we decided to call it a day after 12 miles at the first shelter.
