Climbing the South Buttress of Mt Moran in the Tetons

After getting back down from the Grand Traverse very late on 6/15, we took a rest day, rented a canoe, and went off to climb the South Buttress, Right on Mt. Moran on 6/17/20. We were told by a park ranger that the route is a triathlon of climbing, canoeing and bug swatting. This certainly turned out to be the case but we probably would have added in bush whacking as well. The Tetons are mostly choss but this route was an exception. Awesome climbing with an incredible approach. Next time, we'll have to go to the summit.

Been binge watching all your videos haha really digging the raw no music vibe. Very immersive.

Nice vid! We climbed it back in the 80s. Spent the night on a loose ledge at the top of the climb in a massive thunderstorm! sacred the bejeezus out of us but had the advantage of providing water in all the little rock basins and we had run out early in the day! Beautiful rock and scenery! Wish I could stay young and do those things again.

Wow yea the scenery and rock both so amazing. Way to crush that tips lie back!

[@jaredlane5983]

Honestly if I did a multi pitch like that I’m not sure if I would freak out or just think “well if I fall this high I won’t be any more dead than if I fell two pitches ago” and then feel fine about the hight. Also, just subed! Awesome videos!

beautiful scenery and badass climbing

So sick, looks epic out there

[@evolutionsfire437]

Every video I watch of yours makes my hands sweat

[@aukeboskma]

Awesome video!

[@shawngreen6270]

Great video, but one of the plants you picked are Indian Paintbrush. They're Wyoming's state flower and illegal to pick. Keep crushing though.

Myself, I'd lay the pack down in the canoe before getting in rather than balance in the canoe with the heavy climbing pack on my back. GREAT video... very compelling. Teton granite is GO good..!!

[@johnsullivan676]

why do you guys always have a rated "haul line" tied in to the back? When climbing with more than two people it makes sense but with two? Is it so you can have a rated tag line for full length rappel? if that's the case why not make use of it as half or twin ropes while climbing if you are already carrying it anyways?

[@tylerkarow]

We used a 8mm haul line on this route becasue the only other option we had between us was a beat up 5.5mm line. All the raps were double raps and I wouldn't rap on the 5.5mm line. Twin rope technique is unnecessary as the other line is rated as a single rope and half rope technique is unnecessary becasue the climb didn't wonder. Either would just create more drag.

[@johnsullivan676]

@@tylerkarow thanks for the reply, makes sense

[@bonefishboards]

Always wanted to do this climb. However, I'm aiding that one pitch :)

[@kaurkristjananton2111]

could you please explain what is the purpose of two ropes, and where I can read about it. Thanks!

[@krisjj100]

How do you size the tc pros ? Nobody uses them here in austria so I can’t get an idea

[@epincion]

Awesome scenery and a hard climb but please wear lifejackets when canoeing, sudden storms can appear out of nowhere and if you tip into that cold water you won't last long.

[@Neophobic]

why is this channel not exploding with views and subs?

[@robertpearson9137]

Ewww, Layback! Looks like good rock. But picking wildflowers?

[@Jordan__Sloan]

Do you just work a few months to climb for a few months? I get the feeling your not a weekend warrior.

[@tylerkarow]

I worked for a few years and saved up enough to not work for a few years.

[@kyuujuuwang]

@@tylerkarow how much did you save up if you don’t mind me asking?

[@JB-rt4mx]

You need to climb faster...LoL What a great time..scenery...hard rock and canoeing..2muchfun😁

[@howler6490]

I would've needed a bivi to round of a grand trip.Good bivi,some good scotch to complete.
