Grand Teton Climbing Guide [Owen-Spalding]

Ascent of Grand Teton via Owen-Spalding route in August 2024
*The fun stuff begins at 6:06*

1:40 Lower Saddle
2:55 Beginning of Upper Saddle Approach
3:28 Eye of the Needle
4:50 Nearing the Upper Saddle
6:06 Belly Roll: the roll and crawl are actually very easy, although extremely exposed
7:15 The Crawl
8:00 Double Chimney: You'll see the right-hand entrance immediately after the crawl, but the left entrance is just a few steps further and much easier
9:40 Owen Chimney: the most difficult chimney in my opinion, but can easily be bypassed via the catwalk
11:00 Sargent's Chimney: the easiest option is to take the early exit on the left
11:43 Final summit approach: angle up and to the left from the top of Sargent's Chimney
12:27 Grand Teton summit
13:24 Sargent's Chimney descent: I downclimbed the main chimney (rather than the left exit) and it was much more difficult
14:35 Rappel Station and Catwalk: angle down and left from the bottom of Sargent's, and then cut back to the right once you've reached the rappel station
15:48 Double Chimney descent
16:45 Extra footage of Belly Roll and Crawl
17:34 Return to Lower Saddle
