| mfox79 | Fun! Fun! Fun!  Date Climbed: Jul 1, 2012 | |
| We climbed via the east face/ridge. the first six pitches where sustained 5.6 with some 5.7 for good measure,there was a bit of dirt with ball baring scree at one point and an open book with dead pine needles in it to give it some spice and the final two pitches had a ton of exposure. the last part of the climb was 800-1000' of large tallus leading to a clean but exposed summit. I will do this route again.Classic! | |

| Eleutheros | Aptly Named Date Climbed: Jul 21, 2010 | |
| A morning thunderstorm chased us down the slopes around 10am. Tragically, two nearby climbers died, one on Middle and the other on the Grand. It was a little stressful when lightning started hitting Surprise Lake hundreds of feet below us as we scrambled for safety. | |

| PhenomenalWoman | Lightning and Disappointment Date Climbed: Jul 21, 2010 | |
| A freak storm came out of nowhere around 10am. Two climbers lost their lives that day while attempting Middle and Grand Teton. We had to descend just short of the summit as lightning struck the mountainsides around us. | |

| sprosseda | Spoon Couloir up, Ledges down Date Climbed: Jul 5, 2010 | |
| Me and buddy took spoon couloir up. He soloed it and belayed me 3 pitches in top half. Easy to anchor on edges of couloir. This route is awesome. Fun class 3 scramble on summit. Amazing views. Did 2 easy rappels down lake ledges. This mountain is loads of fun with long but easy trail approach. Love it! | |

| lloyd | Great Peak | |
| Climbed three times, twice on the East Ridge and once on the SW Ridge. Always a great time. One of my favorite peaks in the park. | |

| builttospill | East Ridge Date Climbed: Jul 14, 2006 | |
| July 14, 2006: Climbed the East Ridge with andinistaloco as part of a 4-5 day climbing trip. Definitely the best route we did, and still one of my favorite low-commitment alpine rock routes in the Tetons. The last two pitches are really great....the slog to the summit from there, not so much. July 17, 2010: Climbed the West Buttress (5.6, ~5 pitches) with Dunsum. This was plan B, but it worked out pretty well and was a decent climb. Has some loose rock, but is an interesting, seldom-done climb. You top out about 50 yards from the summit. | |

| wyopeakMike | never disappointing | |
| I like the SW ridge scramble up from Amp Lake, Lake Ledges are also cool. The east ridge is a fun climb. Spent many hours on this fantastic summit just soaking it all in. | |

| A sweet climb up the ledges to an awesome plateau of stunted trees and then up to the top. Sick views of the Grand from the summit. | |

| Always a good time in the Tetons. Very heavy snow still. The otherwise class 4 route had some spice to it, including a short pitch of 60-degree snow that I wasn't expecting. A classic summit in an awesome, alpine setting. | |

| JonW | Great Warmup | |
| We did this as an acclimatization peak for the Grand, which worked out quite well. | |
