The Grand Teton

Спорт

After romping around the west for 2 weeks with my brother, I thought a great send off for an adventurer but no climber would be summiting this proud monument. In hindsight, probably best to do this in 2 days and with significantly less climbing gear, as this is a whole lot more 4th class terrain then 5th class climbing (if following the Owen Spalding route as we did).
Still, a wonderful day and still managed to get back to Jackson that day for dinner and a beer!

    I remember climbing the Grand a few times, back then I was not munch of a backpacker and I always brought to much crap and I was also young. Doing it in one day from the parking lot is certainly a slog. I always camped in the meadow, caves or moran. . Its beautiful area, thanks for sharing your adventure, we all need it.

    I've only descended the OS. The full Exum ridge is a good day. Typically like to summit before 9 am to beat the traffic jams. Congrats on the summit.

    If you ever have the time, the direct Pedzoldt Ridge is a great time, and a unique perspective on Teton rock.

    That looks like a fun climb. Any tips on building my first complete trad rack?

    Man, no-rope scrambling makes me more anxious than any overhanging lead :P

    I'm more anxious on loose rock approaches than run out lead :)

    Did that girl say "that was her" in reference to the belay biner after you said "this guy right here?" at 10:52?

    Ever thought about listing what your rack was for a climb, or what protection you ended up using? Would be great info, especially for long approach climbs like this.

    For the Grand bring a Teton rack. Cams 1-3 two of each and some nuts.

    Is it possible for a non-climber to do this with a single guide? How hard is it to protect the traverse? I see people doing it with no protection but there’s no way I’d do that. The chimney parts seem less scary if someone else is leading because vertical rope can at least be kept taught. If you slip on the traverse you’ll be swinging over the abyss.

    hello nice wall and you climb nice. Unfortunately, the whole thing is missing, it's a pity you don't show how you build the position and how you get your partner, at least fragments. it would be useful to take the whole wall and around the top. beautiful mat rocks in usa
