Tetons...Irene's arete and Exum Direct. In that order.

After Labor day weekend everything closes up (climbers ranch and Dornans) and folk leave. The weather gets colder and colder.

Yah, keep training cuz the Garnet Canyon is like 8-9 miles up to 11k. Alex Lowe and others got strong because they did that approach summer after summer.

Technically it's above it. You still need to get to Garnet to get to Irenes. I think you camp in Garnet.

One of you tards has my Teton guide book. And my memory isn't good since I didn't get to climb it.

Landshark??

Now for an easier approach there's Baxter's Pinnacle. That's accross jenny Lake.

Factor, I do have your Tetons book. I will give it back this weekend, if you bring enough beer. If we run out, I might "forget" to bring it.

that is Jim Jam I think.  5.8+.  pretty cool route.  Munger, call if you are going up.  I have'nt spoken with Brad in years, but if he is still in fort collins and I can contact him, I bet he'd be willing to give you a tour.  VERY good people up there that took VERY good care of us.  You MUST go if you are able......

thx bro, that's pretty much where I'm at.  Make it go if at all possible. I think I can drag Skully and Dogtown out as well on the weekends at least. That should be wild ride!

plus get to see my grandparents on the trip.
