Description
This is a long and committing route on the north face of the Grand Teton. It took us 13 hours from our bivy on Teton Glacier to the summit.
Approach the climb from the funnel of snow just east of the ice fall, crossing the bergshrund at the top. Gain the small, right trending ledge, following it for about 5 pitches of 4th and easy 5th class. About three-quarters of the way, there is a mandatory rappel. We rapped our rope around a bulge as there was minimal gear to build an anchor. The first pitch starts at the very end of the ledge.
P1 - 5.9PG face climbing, gear in cracks
P2 - 5.10 right-leaning finger crack followed by a left-leaning finger crack
P3 - 5.10+R scary, dirty crack with unprotected face moves left over bulge
P4 - 5.7 ramps up and right into an ice-filled gully
P5 - 5.6 wet choss to top of gulley
P6 - 5.7 left out of gully to good hand crack
P7,8,9 - simul-climb up 4th and 5th class to base of second tower
P10 - 5.7 crack
P11 - 5.9 crack to top of tower
P12 - 5.7 up chossy dihedral
P13 - 5.9 through crack overhang, followed by several pitches of scrambling
P14 - 5.7 crack above north face.
Join East Ridge at snow, crampon up to rock, then summit.
