MISSION COMPLETE: CLIMBING THE MIDDLE TETON SOUTHWEST COULOIR IN WYOMING'S GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK

Climbing the Middle Teton was a goal of mine for years now and I finally accomplished it! After years of hiking and climbing multiple trails and peaks in Grand Teton National Park, I have finally summited this iconic peak. Grand Teton National Park is host to unlimited adventures for everyone. Climbing the Middle Teton should be on the top of the list for any would be adventure enthusiast. Climbing the Middle Teton's southwest couloir in-itself is not a very technical endeavor but is definitely a strenuous task. Car to Car from Lupine Meadows Trailhead is around 16 miles and over 6,000 feet of elevation gain so be prepared for an all day extravaganza in the mountains!

Congratulations! That moment, when you reach your goal, there's nothing more exhilarating and humbling. You mentioned that this was the first outing for the season. I hope there are more videos to come. Love your channel.

[@TheMountainMatt]

Thanks! It was a beast of a day! That particular vid was filmed in July and the first of the season for me. More Teton, Washington and Banff vids to come 😃🤩 cheers!

[@ThePurpleNinja4209]

Love your channel, Matt. I’m taking a mountaineering class this year and I’ve added several of your climbs to my objective list for the next few years.

[@TheMountainMatt]

Wow thanks 😁! I’m flattered! Stay tuned over the next bunch of months, you’ll probably want to add a few more 😃. That’s a good idea to educate yourself as much as possible before heading out 👍🏼, cheers!

[@janesikkink2155]

Wow, what an accomplishment! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheMountainMatt]

Thanks Jane! I’ve got my eyes on The Grand Teton now 🤩

[@kristinegoodman7534]

Glad you're out there watching! I might be a little obsessed 🤣 cheers!

[@jasonmears4393]

Absolutely 💯 epic summit. Hey Matt, I've been following you for years now, and this summit was incredible. Unbelievable!!! So happy for you!!! I've always wanted to hike in the Teton range, man... you killed it!!! Thanks for taking us along on this epic journey.

[@TheMountainMatt]

Thanks Jason! I know you've been there since the beginning or close to it. Put that range on your bucket list me boy! I'm so glad you're out there and enjoying the vids, cheers!

[@cachemacstrailtime]

Amazing climb. Great job capturing it.👍👍

[@TheMountainMatt]

Thanks it was an amazing day and experience!

[@MarkDaniel_]

What an accomplishment! Thanks for bringing us along.

[@TheMountainMatt]

Thanks man! I’m glad you watched and enjoyed the video, Cheers!

[@justinwalburg8222]

Thank you for your videos! I live through these videos from low elevation in Michigan. Dreaming of climbing mountains!

[@TheMountainMatt]

Thanks Justin! I’m glad they resonate with you. I love to read these kinds of comments. Cheers from a low elevation guy as well 👍🏼

[@tmoore136]

What a fun day that was, my friend. Nobody I'd rather share 75% of a hike with. 😂 I had forgotten about that boulder field. Great vid, Matt...helluva job getting up there!

[@TheMountainMatt]

You’re still a beast me boy💪🏼! We’ll get up one of those peaks together someday!

[@hollyhikesandeats]

Another beauty. Great video, thanks for taking us along!

[@TheMountainMatt]

Thanks Holly! I'm glad you're enjoying the vids 😁 I can't wait to share the rest of last summers adventures with ya'll!

[@BrytonSeeman-ii3vo]

You inspired us to do this hike for our honeymoon in September and it sure was a tough one! We always base our trips off of your videos!

[@TheMountainMatt]

Hell Yes! That's awesome! Our initial mission was to tag the South Teton as well but that obviously never happened 🤣. You're right that is a monster day. Stay tuned for the next few months of vids and get a passport if you don't already have one 😃 you might be going to Canada 🤣!!! So glad you're enjoying the vids!

[@TheWanderingWulfs]

Oh, this is exciting! ❤ We'll be watching soon! We love the Tetons and Jackson Hole. 🏔

[@TheMountainMatt]

Excellent 👍🏼 it doesn’t get much better than the Jackson Hole area!

[@TheWanderingWulfs]

We agree!!! ❤️🏔

[@weekendhikeraz]

Amazing accomplishment ! Such an awesome video! I loved the marmots, they are so cute and added something extra special to your video!

[@TheMountainMatt]

Thanks! I couldn’t believe he was up there at the summit. I’ve never seen one that high.

[@kw2764]

wow, spectacular.

[@TheMountainMatt]

I know right 🤩 I think I might have to start figuring out how I get up The Grand 😁

[@MichaelShepherdJordan]

Great job! Awesome accomplishment. Nice to have it all to yourself, except for the marmot 😂

[@TheMountainMatt]

Thanks Michael! Couldn’t believe that little sucker was so high up there 🤣

[@lzma636]

You're great. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheMountainMatt]

Thank you! 😊 I appreciate you watching!

[@briantodd4887]

Congrats!!!

[@TheMountainMatt]

Thanks man! I appreciate the support 👍🏼!

[@simplelifemoneymatters3901]

We have a trip planned in late July to hike Disappointment Peak and Middle Teton with JHMG. Your video is more fuel to make sure I'm training right now and continue to get myself ready. We opted for the two day trip to summit Middle Teton and loon forward to camping overnight (I would assume) in the meadow.

[@TheMountainMatt]

That's going to be one hell of a trip! You're going to love it! So glad the vids are helping. Definitely keep training 👍🏼. Let me know how it going after your trip! Cheers!

[@saltairswings]

Nice work on summiting man! Another great vid.

[@TheMountainMatt]

Thank you very much! One of my all time favs for sure! I'm glad you're out there watchin ! 😁

[@chrispfeiffer6077]

Another great video! Should be 500k subs!

[@TheMountainMatt]

Damn! Thanks for that comment 😃 I appreciate you watching! So glad you enjoyed that one! Cheers!

[@unjarredoutdoors5513]

The quality of the videos are on point brotha! Come do Twin Sister Traverse South to North. you'll defiantly be able to make a master video of it!!!! Think About it!!!!

[@TheMountainMatt]

Thanks Jarred! I hope you’re all healed up by the way. I will definitely mull this over 😁👍🏼

[@unjarredoutdoors5513]

@@TheMountainMatt Thanks, I'm back at it. just did Hidden Lake Lookout Winter Route the other day. EPIC.

[@TheMountainMatt]

Good to hear! I bet that was gorgeous, well done 👍🏼!

[@34owner34]

Epic accomplishment Matt ! Always the highest quality mountain vids in the business . You have any goals to ever hit any 5th class trad alpine routes ?

[@TheMountainMatt]

Thanks my friend! Stay tuned 😉😃…. Working on one as we speak 😀

[@34owner34]

@ hell yeah man ! Stoked to see it

[@TheMountainMatt]

👍🏼 can't wait to release last summers adventures!

[@kennethteo592]

Great video Matt! Will be heading to Grand Teton this October, so excited for it! May I also know when you summited the Middle Teton? Thanks!

[@TheMountainMatt]

Hello! October can be the best time to visit 👍🏼. The crowds are low and the weather can be decent. That was in July, 2024. If you haven’t ever been to the Tetons you’re going to freak out 😃👍🏼! Cheers!

[@nothinbutnet2009]

Epic day, thanks for sharing! What climbs do you have scheduled for this year?

[@TheMountainMatt]

Thanks Josh! You gotta get out to the Teets if you've never been there before, you'd love it! I'm headed International this summer 😃 got some big dogs picked out near Whistler in August and than back to Banff in September. If the boss lets me I'd love to sneak out to Washington again in July. Might have to take a long weekend with the boss of the house in Fall if it's nice as well. Saving up my PTO!!!

[@nothinbutnet2009]

@ You should do Mt. Temple in Banff if you haven’t, along with Devil’s thumb. Both are amazing! If I ever make it to somewhere besides GNP, the tetons are next on the list.

[@TheMountainMatt]

Working on Banff vids right now actually 😃 stay tuned homie!

[@AdventuresWithSpencer]

Nicely done! Looks like a spectacular day. I'm wondering what footwear you wore for the climb? (Also asked via IG). Happy trails!

[@TheMountainMatt]

Thanks so much for the support! My go to are the La Sportiva TX4 mid GTX approach boots. I’ve had 5 pair now and can’t see myself getting anything else unless something better comes along. They’re great on all types of rock, I absolutely love em! Cheers!

[@AdventuresWithSpencer]

@TheMountainMatt thanks for the intel and rec!

[@TheMountainMatt]

@@AdventuresWithSpencer absolutely 💯

[@Hudson-M]

Love the video looks so fun my friends and I always go out to the Tetons every summer and hike and bike. I have always wanted to do middle and am really trying to convince the group to go. We live in the Wasatch in Utah and hike there all the time doing stuff like Timp, Devils Castle, and Pfeifferhorn how would you compare it to that stuff. I know I can do it but for the rest the group that are not as big of hikers how hard would it be for them. And how long did it take you hours wise and what would you rate the scramble.

[@TheMountainMatt]

For experienced and fit people the Middle will be tough but doable. I’m an old SOB with bad knees so that doesn’t help 🤣. It’s mostly an endurance thing unless you camp up high somewhere. The rock in the couloir and on the Middle is similar to the Wasatch. The couloir is tight and a little loose in spots so if there’s a big group ahead or behind I’d be worried about rocks falling. I luckily didn’t see anyone up the couloir, and that was July. That boulder field on the way out was terrible, never ending when you’re fried. Sounds like you’re ready for a run at it 👍🏼! Let me know if you do it and how it went! Cheers!

[@TheMountainMatt]

Sorry…. Forgot this, it took me around 10-11 hours car to car.

[@Hudson-M]

@@TheMountainMatt thanks man I will definitely let you know how it goes I am going to do it sometime it’s just if the rest of my friends will.
