I'm planning to do the Cloudveil Traverse in one day in mid to late August, I'm looking for a partner who would be willing to lead any technical sections of the route as I haven't climbed in a long time and I don't have experience leading on an alpine route. Technically it's very easy though.

The Cloudveil Traverse connects the South Teton, Ice Cream Cone, Gilkey Tower, Spalding Peak, Cloudveil Dome, and Nez Perce in one climb. The saddles between the peaks aren't as low as between the Grand and Middle, so you lose less elevation before climbing each peak.

I plan to leave the Lupine Meadows trailhead by 4am, and do the traverse in one day.

Sometime between Aug 11 and Aug 25, but if there's anyone headed up there earlier in the summer let me know as I could probably arrange to do it then too.

Depending on time, energy, and weather, I am considering doing the Middle Teton too, and then the traverse.
