Description

The summit of Teewinot mountain boasts grandiose views of the North Face of the Grand Teton.

This mountain does not play around as you gain around 5,500 ft.

in a mere 2.5 miles.

Steep! In addition, there is a class 4 crux that many consider to be low class 5, and many bring ropes for.

I completed it without ropes, although downclimbing was a bit nerve racking.

In comparison to Colorado 14ers, I would say Teewinot is harder than most, except perhaps the foure great traverses.

Regardless, give it a shot, stay safe, and turn around it the going gets above your comfort level.
