Description
A fun scramble to a scenic summit.
The south ridge of the South Teton is a kind of wishbone arrangement. There's two ridges separated by a steep snowy coulior which join to form the man ridge of the peak around 800 feet below the summit just above a notch in the action.
From a low angle area just east of Snowdrift Lake, take the western ridge and scramble upwards. Stay west at difficulties until the main ridge is joined. Traversing a bit will keep the grade minimal.
Reverse route or descend depending on what the balance of the day offers (easiest get down will probably the popular NW Coulior into the S. Fork of Garnet Canyon).
Note: this is a recommended route in the Ortenburger/Jackson guidebook.
