Tom, John, and Arturo

At climbers camp nr Moose Wyoming, and hiking up Cascade Canyon

Climbing in Cascade Canyon
15th - Guides wall (5.8) with Arturo acing the pillar

16th - Baxter Wall (5.9+)

17th, 18th, 19th - attempted ascent of the Grand
We were going to do the Exum Ridge, but weather intervened.
In the end we made it only part-way up the Owen-Spalding, after aiding an ice-covered section of class-4 rock.

Fine weather on the start up, only to get rained once we got to Upper Saddle

Starting for the summit, we might as well have been in an aquirium

Starting out up Owen-Spalding Route, Grand Teton
