THen we rappelled down to the gash a 5 foot wide 40 foot long rock bridge to the base of the Shark's Tooth the only Summit in RMNP that can't be reached without technical rock climbing. it was 4:30pm and we had 4 pitches left. Jason ended up on a 5.9 with one cam, 10 nuts and 4 draws. Dan and I took the 5.4 Dan led the last pitch... I ended up having to rap off the ends of the rope into Dans arms.
