Guides' Wall, first climbed by Exum guides Richard Pownall and Art Gilkey in 1949, is at the bottom of the Southwest Ridge of Storm Point.

The hour-long approach from the west side of Jenny Lake is short by Teton standards, and the rock is excellent. This combination has made Guides' Wall one of the most popular climbs in the park.

Six or seven pitches are usually climbed, but many variations are possible, including several hard jam-cracks. It is possible to spend several hours climbing these variations before beginning the descent. Three long rappels are usually made, providing practice and a realistic sense of what in involved in descending a major rock climb.

The climb is directly above the trail up Cascade Canyon, and ever-present views of the major Teton peaks are as rewarding as the climb.
