From Left to right: Middle Teton (12,804'), Lower Saddle (11,650'), Grand Teton (13,770'), Mt. Owen (12,928') and Teewinot (12,325').

The route to the Lower Saddle campsite goes through Garnet Canyon which is the well defined canyon system to the left of the center of the picture
 Morning mist and the Teton Range. It is not unreasonable to assert that anyone who fancies himself an alpine climber in America, must sooner or later get acquainted with this outstanding mountain range. Climbers on approach trail through Garnet Canton with Middle Teton in the background. The route to the Lower saddle climbs to the right of Middle Teton. Snowfields at the base of the north side of Middle Teton. This is where many accidents have happened, most related to long falls on the snow. When large snowfields exist make sure you have your crampons and
ice axe.		 The final approach to the steep headwall below the Lower Saddle campsite. Climbers and guides looking over the Exum Ridge route on Grand Teton. Conditions change rapidly between June and early September requiring guides and climbers to
talk over strategy for the following day's climb.
Exum guide Mark Newcomb with a father and son at the Upper Saddle. From here the team intended to climb
the Owen-Spaulding route but were stopped by
heavy rain and lightning. The team quickly retreated to cover below The Enclosure and waited for the weather to improve.
Climbers on the Upper Exum route watching the sunrise. Note the shadow of the Grand Teton in the background. The Upper Exum route consists of sixteen half-pitches and some third and fouth class scrambling to get to the summit. Climbers leave the Lower Saddle at 4:00am and reach the summt about 9:00am. Reaching the summit of the Grand Teton at 13,770 feet is a memorable experience. The view is to the Southwest. Here, Exum and IMCS guide Tom Hargis belays the start of the descent from the summit. Grand Teton and the Exum Ridge. One of the finest alpine climbs in the world.
