| I climbed with Exum Guide Pat Ormond. My first time up Grand Teton, or above 12K feet for that matter. I had a great, cold and icey time. Can't wait to come back with my wife and do it again. | |

| Great route! Led my wife up all pitches then took Wall Street back down. This was a full day in itself... complete with a few route finding complications. The Black Face pitch is simply AMAZING!A fast moving party could do the entire ridge in a day. If you have doubts, split the Lower and Upper into two separate days. | |

| Success on this day? The Lower Exum is a day in itself. We woke well before sunrise to thick smoke from wildfires. Made good time getting to base--axes and crampons completely unnecessary, surprising for June. Made good time on the Lower. Loved the last three pitches. I got a little off route on pitch 6 with long run out on slopers; go a bit right there. Made it past the wind tunnel when the first signs of nasty weather in a week made us turn back. Rappel down to Wall Street with long, winding slog back down. Success? Some of the best pitches of my life. Thanks Justin for being a great comrade. | |

| Zach M and I eschewed with the middle three pitches to beat the clouds rolling in on the peak. Excellent climbing. I should train up and head for the middle section some day. I'd rather climb Owen and Teewinot fisrt. | |

| I climbed this route twice, once with my good friend Christian Szautner. He was intent on hiring Alex Lowe to guide him up it, but I persuaded him to do it with me for free. What magic when at the base of the Black Face, Mr. Lowe appeared with his client. I had the privilege of sharing a belay alcove with Mr. Lowe above the Black Face. I'll never forget watching Mr. Lowe run it out on the Black Face in his ragged, threadbare climbing shoes (or sneakers? I can't remember). What a tragedy it was when he was swept away on Shishapangma in fall 1999. Anyway, this is an awesome, but crowded, route. Get to the base early! | |
