3rd Times a Charm on UE
Only took 3 trips to the upper saddle before the weather was good enough to go for it. We summitted just as a storm hit and dropped 3 inches of snow in about 2 hours. It was a complete white out on the decent. We couldn't even see 10 feet. We almost had a serious epic. Still, it was an amazing climb. I can't wait to get back to the Tetons!

Exum Route
Climbed via Exum Route after spending night in hut (yuck) at lower saddle. (Next time I'll sleep outside.) Descended via Owen Spaulding to Lupine Meadows.

due to weather moving in, but cleared just long enough for us to finish the climb.

Upper Exum
I hurt my ribs on this climb. I fell and my brother in law's belay saved my life. I had a lot of air beneath me! It was the first time I ever fell against standard protection as opposed to being top roped or in a gym. It happened too fast to be scared. After crashing against the rock I grabbed it like a cat and had an easier climb up than where I was a moment before. It took a few pitches to settle down mentally. After that my ribs started to hurt. The only choice was to go on. The rapel on the way down was neat. The hike out was a slog.

Done...
Started the Exum route but exited at the start of the Upper Exum because the weather was threatening. We ended up getting to the summit via the OS route.

Love the Tetons!
Upper Exum, car to car. Ran into some fresh snow on top, which turned everyone back down that day but us. Us being Dr. Vandervort and Galina. With the doctors superb leading skills we found our way down. Long day to say the least, but a great adventure.

OS Single Day
My wife and I did OS in a single day from Lupine. Started around 2:30 and were on the summit around 11:30. It was great day and had good weather until around 1:30.

An enjoyable climb up and down the O-S route. I saw enough of guided climbing this day to know that I would never go on a guided group climb outside of the Himalaya.

Enjoyed a windy day on the exposed Exum ridge. The climbing is never too difficult but always offers options to keep it exciting.

Upper ExumA very complex mountain. We tried to do the complete Exum, but couldn't figure out the start of the route.

Here is your logNyle,
Here is a picture of your actual summit signature. I'm not sure if you have seen this, but I thought it was pretty awesome.
