Scaling Wyoming's 13,770-foot (4,197-meter) Grand Teton has long been a rite of passage for beginning multipitch climbers seeking to take their skills to the next level. Combined with nearby 12,325-foot (3,757-meter) Teewinot and 12,928-foot (3,940-meter) Mount Owen, the Grand becomes some of the best continuous climbing and scrambling in the lower 48. After shooting up Teewinot's east face on day one, you'll track across a granite ridgeline—with panoramas of the north face of Grand Teton towering above—before summiting Mount Owen and bivouacking for the night. Day two takes on the six-pitch climb to the top of the Grand itself. Don't despair if you haven't yet tackled a big mountain: This traverse is accessible to average, fit climbers with 5.8-level multipitch experience.Vitals -
