Black Tooth Mountain (13,009 feet or 3,965 metres) is located in theBighorn Mountains in the U.S. state ofWyoming.[4] The peak is the second highest in the range afterCloud Peak, which is only 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to the south, and thesummit is located in theCloud Peak Wilderness ofBighorn National Forest.[1] The sharp dark profile of the mountain resembles a dark tooth or fang, hence the name. Because of the steep terrain, Black Tooth Mountain is one of the hardest mountains to climb in the Bighorns. Many of the trails up the mountain are unmarked which adds to the difficulty of reaching the summit.Mount Woolsey is an adjacent summit only .20 mi (0.32 km) to the southeast.[5] Another high peak of the Bighorns known asHallelujah Peak is situated along a knife-like ridge known as anarête .64 mi (1.03 km) to the northeast. Several tiny remnant glaciers can be found on the north slopes of Black Tooth Mountain.
In 1933, the first recorded ascent was made by a party comprisingW. B. Willcox,Alan Willcox, Mary Willcox,Elizabeth Woolsey and T. H. Rawles.[3]
