Climbing Log

This page is dedicated to my climbing partners. I think the world of them, every one.


Jul 01 63	Tetons	beginner rock climbing class		Barry Corbet: instructor at Exum's school	My friend Grady, from West Thumb, had taken the Teton climbing class, and he urged me to take it as well. So we hitch-hiked south to the Tetons and I took the beginner's class and I think Grady took the Intermediate. Instructor Barry had me lead the 4th class belay practice slab, in order to belay the first person up. Ironically, then, I led the first pitch I ever climbed. However, the subsequent rappel scared me so much that I swore off climbing forever. Actually, I think I took the Intermediate class the next week.
Aug 01 63	Tetons	Storm & Ice		Grady Matthews	After taking the classes, Grady and I started climbing a few routes in the Tetons. Our goal was to climb the Grand Teton. The first few climbs were to build experience.
Aug 12 63	Tetons	Mt. Teewinot		G. Matthews	1-bivy. Summit at 2:00 pm. We had wanted to climb the Grand Teton, but the rangers wouldn't let us. They suggested Mt. Teewinot as a safer alternative. Near the top we wandered off route and found ourselves on very technical rock. On one unprotected lead I ran out of rope and asked Grady to start climbing behind me. Running out of strength on a final traverse, I came close to peeling. When I reached a ledge and started belaying Grady proper, I had a powerful vision type experience.
Sep 01 63	Tetons	Symmetry Spire Durrance Rt.	II 5.4	Grady Matthews	& one other partner. This was one of the best routes I had done. It had good rock and exposure, and was and all day climb. The technical difficulties were just right for our level of experience. Near the summit we were running out of time and I grew impatient with the third person (name?) because he seemed slow. So I unroppd and started off 3rd class. Got a good chewing out for that. We re-roped and finished the route.
