Description Suggest change

Several routes can be found on this prominant tooth-like rock. Overshadowed by the Grand Teton, this very secluded peak is representative of typical high quality Teton granite. It offers excellent exposure and has quite an airy view of Garnet Canyon and the surrounding peaks. Routes vary from low to moderate and it stands approx. 200 ft high above the ridge from which it sprouts.

Getting There Suggest change

There are two options that I know of. There is a direct approach from the Middle Teton glacier moraine, or you can hike to the base from the Lower Saddle of the Grand.

From the Lower Saddle, hike up the base of the Grand to the Black Dike and traverse east passing below the starts for the Lower Exum, Petzoldt Ridge, and Stettner Couloir. Once passing the Stettner Couloir, decsend down the steep gully and head out onto the ridge to the base of the Pillar.
(I can only comment on this approach as was the only way I reached it.)
