So it appears that Sarah Palin is headed into Denai National Park to climb "Sweettooth" with Todd and Willow. Problem is that Sweet Tooth Spire is a prominent gendarme on the South Ridge Sugar Tooth and is rated 5.10+ A2. Best of luck to you, Sarah.
Here's a link to her announcement on Twitter: http://www.themudflats.net/2010/07/14/palins-sweettooth-coffee-spit/
Here's a photo of the South Ridge of Sugar Tooth (Eye Tooth behind and above) with Sweet Tooth Spire the small gendarme below the summit.
Sarah, We all expect a full trip report upon your return. Best of luck to you.
Climb safe,
Mal

Now why did you bring up that things name Mal? The dirtbag climbers on ST are so hard up they actually think she's hot- can you believe it?. I can just see all the titillating patter coming up.

Classic! I read the Twitter link...from the photo and name of "CelticDiva" I imagine her reply to any of Palin's comments would include the words "You Idiot".

Carrying on the long and honourable tradition of mountaineer politicians. Teddy Roosevelt. Robert Kennedy. The Udalls.
Oh wait, they were all Democrats, or independents.

At least two of them made significant contributions to the conservation movement. Other than "drill baby drill"
If Sarah does it nekkid she'll get my attention.
Otherwise HumBug

Holy crap her Twitter page is a gold mine.
The Charge of Racism: It’s Time to Bury the Divisive Politics of the Past
And of course like 9/10 of the previous page of "tweets" are divisive garbage and plenty of playing off of the NAACP. Keep on healing the divide, Sarah.

Mighty Hiker: Teddy Roosevelt was first a Republican politician, then Republican vice-president, then Republican president 1901-1908.
I think the Republicans are still recovering from all his progressive ideas---but then from the 1860’s to the Teddy era, the Republicans were the more progressive party, and the Democrats were mostly farmers, southerners, or racists (often all three.)
Amazing how U.S. politics have changed in 100 years.
Only after failing to be nominated for President at the 1912 Republican convention, did Teddy become independent.

Yes, Teddy was a BullMoose Republican, a president of a kind not seen since, although there were some parallels with Lincoln, and his cousin Frank. Teddy wouldn't fit well into either modern party, so I characterize him as an independent.

Republicans used to come in all stripes- no more. Have you been following the recent Senate votes?

I notice that Mal's OP said that "that Sarah Palin is headed into Denai National Park".
Does that mean she'll be in Denai-al? It would seem apropos.
