Grand Teton via Upper Exum Ridge — July 2021 Summit Report¶
The Grand Teton's Upper Exum Ridge is one of North America's finest alpine rock climbs. July 4th brought perfect conditions and a festive atmosphere — several guided parties on the route, everyone in good spirits. The climbing on Teton granite is superb: solid, featured, and with positions that make you feel like you're on top of the world. The summit views of Jackson Hole 2,300m below are extraordinary.
