NW arête of Hourglass Coulior, Nez Perce peak, Garnet Canyon Meadows. A short, 15 m., 5.9 corner leads to a nice, white rock, belay ledge. Then a 5.12- arête pitch that overhangs severely, but has big holds and good protection. A 5.6 pitch can lead to the top.

Rough bloc 100m east of Middle Teton Cave Route. Undercut east facing line following a vertical white band.

From the right to the left, follow roof crack system. 5.11 then 5.12b. 2nd pitch 5.9 r

Beautiful ambience under the cave.

-

Historic shelter from all but the biggest winter avalanches.

The 50 meter Y Slab has been scrubbed by avalanches and snow creep, rendering a clean, easy slab studded with pockets for protection and jugs for gripping. The Right Y is a beautiful pitch of 5.5. Left of the Left Y is a classic 5.8- and the Left Arête is 5.6, even the overhang has big holds and good protection.

The hardest we could find was a 5.10 mini arch, overhang at ground level.

4th class up an easier 2nd pitch; then scramble left or right to trail at Petzolt Caves.

Or sling white bark pine at 55m and rap.

The lowest exposed rock of the Grand Teton: Crack in the Track is an avalanche scrubbed pitch of high difficulty. More Extreme difficulty awaits on the extension. A strong climb to practice very difficult movements in a high ambience environment.  A V6 boulder at the start is followed by 5.11+ to reach the crack. 2 distinct cruxes in the sustained crack to reach the lower off 8a. Extension above is unsent.

Do not climb here when there is risk of the Grand Teton avalanching full track.

The Largest boulder in Garnet Canyon Meadows.

Nice problems above flat campsites.

Just west of lunch rocks, Garnet Canyon Meadows, 15 m above Grand Teton 'trail', is a  South facing overhang with a left angling 'crack'. This is a short top rope route on jugs, crimps, slopers and liebacks.
