Looking at our progress thus far. The ridge between Owen and Teewinot is rather time consuming, unless your very familiar with the route and jogging it! Pic taken from atop the chimney pitches on the N. face of the Grand.

Our first night on the Grand Traverse with some alpinglow on the North side of the Grand Teton and Owen.

Lindsay stemming the crux of the chockstone chimney, N. face of the Grand.

Black ice made this section between Teewinot and Owen interesting without crampons but manageable. We stayed mostly on the rock when possible, but was still a lil spicy.

Lindsay and I on the summit of the Grand. With the technical difficulties behind us, we can enjoy the view for a bit.

Yours truly climbing out of gunsight notch towards the N. Face of the Grand. Climbing 5.7 with a pack in guide tennies, always fun!
