I am interested in climbing the Grand Teton, preferably within the next month. Due to work constraints, we need to leave SLC on Sunday night, hike in/camp Monday, ascent Tuesday, blaze home by late Tuesday night. I am happy to drive.

I have led 5.8 trad and 5.10a-b sport. Check with Nathan Fisher for a reference.

Cheers.

Where is SLC? I was there last summer and would be happy to go back.

Lee, the Grand can be done in a long marathon day if you're willing. If you leave SLC on a Sunday night, you can have it climbed and be back in your car early Tuesday morning. This style isn't that bad, as it puts you at the summit before the afternoon storms arrive, and you don't need to carry any bivy gear. Email me if you want any info on this.
