Icy & cold  Sucess!

My wife & I climbed the P/G route with Jackson Hole Mountain Guides on a cold windy icy day. Made the summit, which was exhilarating, but will have to go back one day as we had no views to speak of from the top. JHMG is a great service!

Grand Day!  Sucess!

After gale force winds at the Upper Saddle forced us to retreat on the 16th, we returned on the 17th to climb the peak via the Owens Spalding Route. The Grand is an incredible mountain and the OS is an excellent, direct and easy route. We started late the second day, leaving the trailhead at 10:00 AM. We summited at 5:00 PM and had the whole peak to ourselves. It was glorious redemption after the previous day's failure.

Best Weather  Sucess!

Did Upper Exum route again. Best weather in 5 trips to the top. Met some great folks also. Saw Bear on the approach and had a great spot in the Meadows. People parachuting around the peaks and a glider plane also around.

Upper Exum  Sucess!

Big goal for me, finally accomplished. One day push from 11:45pm up to the summit via the Upper Exum Ridge by 10am. Sooo incredible!

Exum

Yes, climbed the lower and upper Exum (and other routes) to the summit. I love the Grand Teton. The next route to do is the North Ridge!

Upper Exum  Sucess!

Beautiful day on the Grand. Perfect bluebird day and calm as could be on the summit. Definitely going back for more.

Amazing mountain   Sucess!

Climbed as part of Summit for Someone for Big City Mountaineers. Took the PG route to Upper Exum and finished via the Horse. No views from top but we did marry some fellow climbers! Unforgettable!!

via Upper Exum  Sucess!

Soloed Upper Exum in prime conditions. Sunny and warm on top with the usual crowds. Weather came in on the way down. 15 hours car to car.

Crowded Day  Sucess!

Camped at the Moraines and had to hike up in a gnarly storm. We up early and got to the base of the route to discovery we weren't the only ones doing the Owens-Spaulding Route. There were about 40 other people on the route in front of us including a guiding group by Exum of 17. We didn't move fast at all and nearly froze to death. There was also at least two k Che's of fresh snow on everything so that made the going even harder. Climbed it all with gloves and approach shoes. We got down to the trailhead 6:30pm

Petzoldt Ridge

Climbed Petzoldt ridge route with Rob Hess of Jackson Hole Mountain Guides, probably the best guide for Grand Teton. Stayed at Corbet High Camp (11,000 ft)the night before and left at 4 AM on summit day. Summited at 11 AM. The climb is rated 5.7 III, but with climbing in approach shoes, pack and wearing gloves (finally warmed up enough to climb without gloves at about 9:30 AM) it was a fun challenge. Booked it down to the cars and arrived about 5 PM in parking lot. Petzoldt ridge is said to be the best route on Grand Teton. Surprisingly Ron and I only saw 1 other party on the route so it's a great route if you hate the crowds.

8/14/2013 Climbed with Exum via Upper Exum Ridge route. Quite the amazing experience. Camped at the saddle and had perfect weather on summit day. First real technical climb for me.

Fantastic route, but long, 19 hour day. Got nervous coming down in the near dark, but had a wonderful time.

O.S. Witich Crack  Sucess!

We climbed the O.S. route with the Witich Crack Var. We camped at the moraine the day before and after. The weather was perfect! Sun all day and no rain while we camped and climbed. Though on the night before it did storm in the valley nothing happened on the mountains.
