Had the chance to climb the Exum route n the early 1980’s and spent the night before in the hut with Glenn Exum himself. He was doing an anniversary ascent. Very memorable. Great video.

Thank you for creating and sharing this video. My son guided me up this route in 2018, but my memory is a blur. This helped bring back some of the experience. In my case, not only did he do all the route finding and leading, he carried the majority of the weight of our climbing and camping gear! Thank you Jim!

Impressive to watch as always. Your ability to be confident and controlled with that kind of exposure is something that I admire and most definitely do not possess. So thanks for letting us who would be paralyzed by the exposure live it vicariously through you.

Glen Exum was working as a musician on a dude ranch back during the Great Depression when he made the first ascent wearing cowboy boots. That was the beginning of Exum becoming one of the most legendary climbing guides in the Tetons. I climbed the route in early June all the way from Lupine Meadows in the traditional big leather climbing boots of yesteryear. Much of it was still covered in snow and ice. I don't recall needing much upper body strength back when we wore big leather climbing boots and could stand on our feet.

I will always remember a fella trying to convince us to do the Owen Spalding with him even though no one else but him had gear or experience with rapping and placing gear (I have cleaned 1 trad route).. the day I met him he had summited via the Exum and said it was easily the craziest climb he had done.. he was stoked for days.. did not do the OS with him, did the middle teton instead which was still a lengthy one! Think he just wanted to get back up to the saddle to relive his epic day.. I hear the Exum is a bit crazier than OS and I guess just reading the video tags of them being on the 6th pitch (lol) that's enough for me to be a believer.. You meet some super cool people in the Jackson Hole area, 100%!!!

Nice climbing Chase and very classy Danny to tell it the way it really is, tough and gnarly. Get some TC pro's like Chase, way more comfy, and just leave them on for all the class 5 pitches, way safer, especially soloing, that alway how I roll. . . . The cold sucks climbing, makes the risk level way more unpredictable. . . especially soloing!
