Middle Teton
The Middle Teton (12,804) offers a variety of climbs, from scrambles and early season snow climbs to ice routes and rock climbs. Access is either from a camp in the South Fork of Garnet Canyon or from the Exum Hut, located on the saddle between the Grand Teton and Middle Teton. Exum often climbs the South West Couloir either as an early season snow climb or a late season scramble. It is possible to do it in one long day form the valley, but most parties will want to take two days.
The North Buttress is a short moderate rock climb directly above the Exum Hut.
The Glacier Route and the Northwest Couloir are both moderate ice climbs, good places to practice ice climbing in the mountains if you have grown too accustomed to short pitches on frozen waterfalls.
The summit of the Middle Teton is an excellent place from which to study the routes on the south side of the Grand Teton. The standard descent to the Lower Saddle usually involves several rappels.
