I've climbed almost every peak in that picture. The Grand has almost 7,000
foot relief.

That's some rugged looking country side. Those peaks must be well above the tree line as
they look bare of any vegetation. Must make you feel small on those mountains.

Treeline is about 10,000ft. We once got almost three feet of snow in early
July, ruined a trip. I've climbed past a wrecked airliner on the NE Ridge of
Mt Moran. There were still skeletal remains about.
The Tetons are newer mountains from a block fault, so they are very steep.
They're big but Canada has even bigger (not taller) ones. It's a bit of work
to climb them, it keeps you young and lets you know when you're getting old.

i am sad to report i have not climed long's...it is
right in my back yard, and i see it every day...it
is "on my list" of things to do!!.....long's is more
of a hike than a climb, right?...i mean, there are
no techinacal aspects...such as the teatons ....

Depends on which way you go. I can see it out the window also.

Some of the easy routes:

Standard route is walk up but has exposure. Cables rated 5.4 but easy and
short. Kieners also rated 5.4 but more danger and exposure.

Have you climbed Grays and Torreys?

Try a 23 year old women. Same result, and a lot more fun.

If I had to choose between mountain climbing and women, the women would miss
me.
