My tentative list includes Buck (E face, 3), South Teton (4, NW Couloir or W ridge), Teewinot (4, E face), Nez Perce (5.4, NW ledge), Owen (5.4, Koven), possibly Moran (5.5, CMC), and of course the Grand (5.4, up the upper Exum, down Owen-Spalding).

I'm not in the Tetons often, so I need to gather me summits while I may. Of course, I may soon realize I'm being completely unrealistic...

You can knock out Buck in a 5 hour car-to-car, then go and grab your canoe. Next day, Moran could be done in 12 hours car-to-car. It's simply not that long a route. Then do another half-day peak the next day so that you can lose the canoe.
