Chris Thomas and I climbed the North Face in summer of 2001. We bivied before getting on the glacier, got up very early, and blasted the route in approach shoes, summitted, then hurried down the Garnet Canyon trail back to the car all in one day. The weather was perfect and so was the climb. I highly recommend this one.
Climbed mant yimes once in te winter Something I do not recomen uless you are either a very skilled climber ,, sthat and headed fro the Himalya .
I loved it in the fall a dusting of snow n the peaks and the Throne heh heh.
Another one to eithe chose a dificlt route or get up very early to get aahead of crowds and be down before the witching hour for storms .
Thsi isa Must do Peak ! Just not in the winter

Upper Exum
This is one of those classic peaks that you always look forward to, and it did not disappoint. We climbed it in two days camping just below the saddle on the first night. One of my top 10 peaks so far!

N. Face
First multi pitch mountain.. Super fun, bivied at first ledge
O/S between work shifts, Direct Exum, and Beyer East Face I
Got off work at midnightish, summitted at sunrise, ran down to get back to work at 1 p.m. (O/S) July 2005.
Direct Exum- Beautiful day, chipped a chunk off of my patella (kneecap)on the way up before the caves after falling through a moat in the snow. Still led a couple pitches, had a lot of fun, but didn't bend my knee the entire way down! (or for the next 2 weeks for that matter) (July 2007)
Beyer East Face 1-- Great climb, great partners, really nasty weather. A grand epic.

Got sick
Made it to Exum camp and climbed All Along the Watchtower. Was too sick with flu to summit.

Great route. watch out for ice! cold on the west face of the Grand teton, til you get out on the catwalk just under sergent's chimney. Highly recommend this one!
Went with D. Bowers and K. Pusey from Exum as part of a benefit climb for Summit For Someone. Left lower saddle at 5:20am, summited at 9:15am. Beautiful weather. Beautiful views.

An excellent route that I would like to do again when I don't have the flu. The weather was perfect -- sunny and calm winds all day. Thanks cp0915 and rwkent for an awesome trip.

N Face Original Route
Classic indeed, with great exposure, some loose and wet rock to keep it spicy, but no weather. Long day with the circumnavigation of the Grand but completely worth it.

North Face, Old School Finish
Climbed the standard North Face route. Ice on the pendulum pitch and the late hour sent us around the west side. Getting on the route from the glacier was a little adventurous, but not bad. Bypassed all other snow and ice on the route by climbing slabs on the first ledge to the right of the ice.

Single Day Upper Exum
Climbed with Dave Carman from Exum. We started at Lupine meadows at 3:30am, summited at noon and arrived back at the meadows at 6:30pm. Also as a bonus climbed Carman's tower, a short pitch above Wall Street, with Dave Carman. We couldn't have had better weather- no clouds for the duration. Great time!

Route Climbed: Indirect Incomplete Exum but to the suumit.
Climbed for the third time, always a great trip!
We started on Lower Exum for three pitches, then ledged out climbers left to easier rock to hurry up as weather looked a bit threatening. Freed the upper and the horse yo yhe summit and felt great!
