The Cathedral/Teton Glacier

Davey and Dana approaching the moraine with the Dike Snowfield beyond


The couloirs off Shadow


E Face Middle Teton



S Face Teewinot



The Spoon Couloir with Dane and Sutter approaching


Mount Owen



Garnett Canyon.  Soon after we spotted Dane and Sutter heading up the Spoon, we heard a loud hollering in the trees on the skin track.    I figured it must be Rob Backlund and his crew of Colorado College boys; Eric Wortman and Justin Strauss.  So that meant seven of the eight people up on Disappointment that day were graduates of Colorado College.

Davey and Dana in the Cathedral under the immense North Face of the Grand, Owen, and Teewinot, with Gunsight Notch and the Teton Glacier nearby.  It is the most impressive location in the range.
