Exum Route  Sucess!

Climbed via Exum Route after spending night in hut (yuck) at lower saddle. (Next time I'll sleep outside.) Descended via Owen Spaulding to Lupine Meadows.

Upper Exum  Sucess!

A very complex mountain. We tried to do the complete Exum, but couldn't figure out the start of the route.

Upper Exum  Sucess!

I hurt my ribs on this climb. I fell and my brother in law's belay saved my life. I had a lot of air beneath me! It was the first time I ever fell against standard protection as opposed to being top roped or in a gym. It happened too fast to be scared. After crashing against the rock I grabbed it like a cat and had an easier climb up than where I was a moment before. It took a few pitches to settle down mentally. After that my ribs started to hurt. The only choice was to go on. The rapel on the way down was neat. The hike out was a slog.

Done...  Sucess!

Started the Exum route but exited at the start of the Upper Exum because the weather was threatening. We ended up getting to the summit via the OS route.

Love the Tetons!  Sucess!

Upper Exum, car to car. Ran into some fresh snow on top, which turned everyone back down that day but us. Us being Dr. Vandervort and Galina. With the doctors superb leading skills we found our way down. Long day to say the least, but a great adventure.

My wife and I did OS in a single day from Lupine. Started around 2:30 and were on the summit around 11:30. It was great day and had good weather until around 1:30.

Owen-Spaulding  Sucess!

An enjoyable climb up and down the O-S route. I saw enough of guided climbing this day to know that I would never go on a guided group climb outside of the Himalaya.

Upper Exum for the finish. Good route, great exposure. Descended through the Sargent Chimneys back to the upper saddle.

direct exum  Sucess!

Enjoyed a windy day on the exposed Exum ridge. The climbing is never too difficult but always offers options to keep it exciting.

Upper Exum  Sucess!

Left Lupine Meadows at 3:00 AM. We hit the step around on Wall Street around 8:00 AM, was nerve racking yet not too difficult. Not knowing the route too well slowed us down. I loved the Wind Tunnel, did not like the Friction Pitch and found an easy line past the Dihedral. Once on top of the ridge, we travesed over to Sargents Couloir on the OS and made it too the top. Very long day!

Best climb yet  Sucess!

Climbed with Jackson Hole Mountain Guides via Pownall/Gilkey as part of Summit for Someone. Parts of the route were iced over which made things interesting. JHMG was amazing- highly recommended if going guided.

A great peak! We lucked out with great weather except for an occasional snow shower on the summit. Refer to my trip report for more details.
