| The SW ridge is a great climb. I love the east ridge from Hanging Canyon. A great summit to hang out on. I once saw a rock the size of a van roll down all of Symmetry Couloir, almost to Jenny Lake. | |

| SW Ridge 7/11/09 The approach isn't that bad, but the descent sucked a bit. Really good climbing though. | |

| Left the Climber's Ranch at 7:30AM and returned around 3:30 AM. Epic. My partner totally panicked on the descent and, to put it mildly, our descent was slow. | |

| Great route. Nice approach. Descent down the couloir is a bit nasty. I got off route by following some stuck pro and went up this slabby corner thing. I still don't know what that variation is rated but is quite harder that the "Nose" which is suppose to be the 5.7 crux. | |

| Typical Teton approach, long and steep, especially for us flatlanders. The route is good...some loose rock here and there but the upper pitches are steep and exposed for the grade. Wouldn't call it a "classic" but "very good." We started climbing at noon and missed the last boat across Jenny Lake...but saw a bear on the Jenny Lake trail! | |

| Classic, but the climb up took WAY more time than it should, and so did the descent. Watched the last ferry cross Jenny Lake from the summit, nasty rocky walkoff, and subsequent walk around the lake on the horse trail... back at the car at midnight. | |

| First climb in the Tetons. Great day. The route finding was similar to the Sandias, but the rock was much better. | |

| Nice line - steep, blocky, kick-ass views. A bit loose on the first and last pitches but definitely a classic. Fun moment - doing the last pitch and watching the last boat leave far below.... | |

| Excellent route. Typical Teton peak, excellent granite climb, followed by a crummy walk down. | ||

| This was my first multi-pitch, alpine climb ever. Also my first lead. A great Teton day-trip. Have climbed this with bthere, garretstevens and his wife. Great times, but never catch the boat in time and ALWAYS have to walk around Jenny Lake during the hike out. | |

| Great route, superb rock and great views from the top loooking at the Cathedral group. Did this route with close friends, one of the best days in the mountains ever. | |

| This was my very first multi-pitch climb in the mountains. I actually went off-route from the SW Ridge to the south face finish (5.9), cursing and sweating the whole way. The rock is suberb, the SW Ridge route is incredible, and I even liked the Symmetry Couloir hike! | |

| SW Ridge (II 5.7) -- July 29, 2003 -- Climbed to the summit with David Kozak and Mark Lane in about 3 hrs. Really great climbing with lots of exposure, especially on our 5.8 "Hanging Flake" variation on the last pitch. The approach up Symmetry Couloir isn't bad, but coming back down is a bit of a pain. No Perches Necessary (5.9, 2 pitches) -- August 9, 2007 -- Not really a route on Symmetry Spire, but rather a rock climb on the lower flanks of the Symmetry Group above Jenny Lake. Mary and I climbed the route for an easy day while we were recovering from Mt Moran. Really a nice climb with great gear on the 5.9 first pitch. The second pitch is a bit run-out between bolts, but it's all there. Can be done in about 2-3 hours from the boat dock. | |
