Bob Sihler was giving me some suggestions for a day-hike in the Tetons NP. I was leaning toward Amphitheater Lake and then some scrambling above it. He suggested either Paintbrush or Static Peak.
Here's the thing:
I have no technical climbing skills. I probably need to keep the scrambling at around Class III. I'm a pretty strong hiker, but I don't want to push too hard with too many miles in a day that will keep me from being able to savor the hike. But I also don't want to hang around the flatlands. Lots of elevation gain is okay.
Any suggestions appreciated. I'll be there in mid-August and I'm plotting out my hikes in Yellowstone/ Grand Tetons now.
