Congratulations are in order for my dad. He summited the Grand Teton yesterday, in a single push with a local Friend/bar tender at the Knotty Pine. Car to car took them about 16 and 1/2 hours! That is including an hour nap in the meadows, about 4.5 miles from the car. I spoke with him at 10:30 Tues night, he was getting ready to sleep for an hour, and then pick up Adam, and go to the trail head. They probably started around midnight, were up to the lowere saddle(11,200') by 4am, and about 12,000' at sunrise. That is where the business end of the climbing starts. They took the under hill ridge up to the east face. Looks like rock climbing up to 5.6 to the east face, then low angle scrambling, and snow to the summit block. I think they were able to traverse around the snow for the most part. The top picture is a picture of the grand from the south west aspect, taken from he summit of the middle Teuton. I am not certain, but the rout goes up the ridge to the right of the purple line. A worthy objective, on a noble mountain. NICE WORK!!
