| Did this one with that speedy kid below me. Hundreds of feet of easy fifth-class rock... my favorite. The plod up wasn't delightful but the incredible weather, great views, and superb climbing made this one of the best climbs at that grade that I've been on. | |

| Awesome campsite. Climbed with 2 other parties. My partner Matt did his first ever rock lead. Drizzlepuss was definitely fun on the way down the mountain. Matt dropped his ATC twice! The first was just as we got out on the CMC face and it stopped bouncing within a rope's length stopping just shy of the Hanging Glacier. The second was in the notch between Drizzlepuss and the CMC face and it bounced down right toward me so I was able to grab it. | |

| Great climb!!! Simul-climbed the face in three huge pitches. Easy downclimb to rappel anchors. 21 hours of effort round trip in two days. Summit Panorama video Drizzlepuss Summit Video at sunrise | |

| Did the canoe across String and Leigh Lakes and hiked up to CMC camp with Mary on August 6. We got hailed on in the Falling Ice Glacier drainage, but made it to camp pretty easily and had the place to ourselves. I started for the summit at 6AM while Mary waited in camp, wanting no more of the Teton talus and scree. The downclimbing from Drizzlepuss was steep, but once I was on the face, I made good progress, reaching the summit at 9AM. The descent was a bit tedious and I made 3 rappels from fixed anchors. Back to camp at 12:45PM and then down to the canoe and back to the Climber's Ranch at 6:30PM. Nice climb, alone on a huge mountain. | |

| We climbed the Blackfin route and the Direct S. Butress. The Direct is a classic, indeed. | |

| Incredible two days of weather on a remote and committing route made this a truly memorable experience. The rock goes on and on and on and on.....you get the idea. One of the top routes I've done, and an incredible experience. | |

| We climbed the DSB rock route in just over 6 hours, then it took another 6 hours to hit the bivy site at the base of the upper ridge. After a warm open bivy on the ledge, we set out simul-climbing and summited at about 2:30. Back at camp under the route at 9:30 that night. 40 hours round-trip! Finished off with a dip in String Lake with the throngs of people escaping the heat. We never saw another person on the mountain. Sublime experience. | |

| What an astounding mountain! Better than I expected, the features of the mountain just got better as we climbed! We did CMC route. My only complaint is that the technical pitches were short and there was not alot of sustained climbing, although the face looks steep, there is alot of exposed class four. We saw nobody the entire three days. None the less, this mountain ROCKS! I loved every minute and Moran does not let down. | |

| Hit or Miss Crew's thrid attempt. In short it was a comedy of errors. While we did not make it to the summit, I scrambled to the top of the East Horn while searching for a missing member of the team. | |

| Hit or Miss Crew's second attempt at Moran. The idea was for a one day assault. Paddled out late to the camp sites on Leigh lake. Massive storm blew in over night and lasted until 8am. I thought it was too late of a start and that the skillet would be way to sketch because of the storm. After some deliberation and a half hearted attempt, we tunred back and spent the day on the lake. | |

| First attempt at climbing the beast. Hit or Miss Crew. The paddle took forever because of high winds and lack of experience on the rest of the team. Weather turned bad, tried to wait it out at the bottom. Thunderstorms rolled in on the hike to the horns. Had to turn back, paddled to the shore to the right and came upon some acquaintances from town. They gave us a tent, steak, chicken, vegies, and got us drunk on wine and whiskey. We gave them some of our Clif Bars for breakfast. Paddled back the next morning due to hang overs. | |

| Long day- took inflatible boat across 2 lakes with portage. Then steep hiking up and over DrizzlePus before the roped up climbing began. We Simul-Climbed most of it since it was easy going. Very large and flat summit. Great mountain to escape the crowds- saw no one. | |

| The best moderate route in the Tetons. Both times I hiked around the north side of Leigh Lake instead of paddling across. The hike is a bushwack, but not as bad as some would have you believe. | ||
