This is an amazing mountain. It was my first climb in the Tetons and I will return. Abound with splitter and impressive vistas, this place warrants the hype.
After a tumultuous departure sunday after recovering from some extreme tubing on the Provo River, we got into Jackson just in time to watch some children play on a bouldering problem and enter the park without paying. A 2:45 alarm sent us on our way at about 4pm, with an arrival at the car just after 3pm, making it 11 hours car-to-car. My rack consisted of 3 ultralight draws, a 60m 9.2 rope, an alien, a .5 and .4, and a few nuts. None of these were really needed as we ended up short roping anything that posed danger. The only slightly heady moves were not protectable anyway.
Sunrise in Garnett Canyon.
Wall street. What a fantastic zone. No short-sells here.
Jim heads up somewhere.
The uber hard-on Teton V-pitch. (Becky 3rd class?)
Teton-Time.
On the way down I was nearly mangled glissading and as we got off the lower saddle, conveniently, a massive apocalyptic thundershower occurred.
Do like.
