start of route (kinda) after we climbed direct petzold ridge

The sun rises as we come to wall street on the grand with a great view of the middle teton.

July something 2004, We started in the parking lot at 3.30am and summited around 10am via the Upper Exum Ridge. Routfinding wasn't too difficult. The whole experience...... hard to explain. This is a view looking south, but a camera never does it any justice.

July 2004, Andrew and I had just come off Wall Street after doing the Lower Exum. We were inspired to do this route after having been up the week before ans summiting via. the Upper Exum, I took this shot looking west right around the rangers hut. We started the route around 1pm and decented via headlamps from the saddle.

We tried to do the complete Exum in a day, but got held up behind a few parties on the Lower Exum. So we stopped at Wall Street, ate some lunch, and headed for home.

Ursula scrambling upper Exum Ridge. The climbing is much more exposed than the lower section but is also easier.

Stocks may be down, but we are getting high on the Grand Teton. Wall Street ledge, Grand Teton, Wyoming.

Looking back toward the Exum Ridge from the lower saddle. See the climber on the trail for a little perspective on the scale of everything.
