Hello all.

I am currently working here in Grand Teton National Park, where it has been cold and rainy for the past 2 weeks. However, I'm sure things will turn for the better soon.

If you're going to be in the area, look me up! I'm looking for trustworthy climbing and hiking partners to do some fun routes this summer. If you're interested, PM me or post to this page.

Just throwing that out there. ...

Does anyone know if the West Route (Hunt Creek Rd.) trail head is accessible by vehicle yet? Can any of you Priest Lakers still see snow on the crest?

Hi.
I'm going to be in Idaho around Boise for the next couple weeks.
I want to climb. I am safe.

Hello all,

Planning on attempting Gannett the last week of July via the standard route - I had a few quick questions:

1. In 5 of the 6 trip reports I read for the time of year I would be climbing, no rope was used during the trip - Obviously if it can be avoided I would prefer not to carry in a rope.

2. Obvisously I understand weather can be unpredictible in any mountains ...

An interesting presentation is coming to Laramie on 2 June at the University of Wyoming.

Flakes, Jugs & Splitters: The Geology of Rock Climbing, slide show and book signing (2009 Banff Book Festival winner) by geologist, writer, and climber Sarah Garlick.

looking for suggestions for 4-6 day backpack trip in GNP. interested in elevation and proximity to glaciers among other things.

also what is bear activity typically like?

would also appreciate notes on best car-camping spots not in the campgrounds with lots of rv & noise.

and anything else noteworthy with respect to epic day hikes

cheers

:oops: Please help: I lost a BRAND new blue 10.3 mm 60 meter Edelweiss rope at City of Rocks over Mother's Day during a family climbing trip. It was left at the base of Elephant Rock in a red rope bag! Reward offered if found!

Thank you!
