Mountaineering

Teewinot (Shoshone for “pinnacles”) can be approached by many variations and route finding skills are essential for this climb. It is usually done in one arduous push (many will begin their hike shortly after midnight) but can be done as a two day hike with a back country permit. See the Jenny Lake Ranger Station for availability and recommended camp sites. Begin at Lupine Meadows and follow the trail to Delta Lake. After Delta Lake head toward the Teton Glacier and then once on the glacier look for the couloir to the north. Be careful that you choose the correct couloir and be prepared to scramble to reach the plateau/saddle below the summit. The apex of Teewinot is large enough for only one person at a time and offers spectacular views of the north face of The Grand Teton and Mt. Owen. Snow and ice conditions require ice axe and mountaineering skills.
