On a recent trip to Courtright Osa and I paid a visit to Dog Tooth peak, WE did a little route called Look Out, After doing the route I can see why it's called look out, I have to teach Osa to yell out rock when she leads and dose any one know where to get a doggie helmet? Well after several pitches we made the summit and here is a photo of Osa looking back to Courtright from atop Dog Tooth peak .
