Thanks for sharing the vid... just came down from finishing the Complete Exum and though I've climbed for 26 years coast to coast this was among the best ever. Full value adventure! Went with Jackson Hole Mountain Guides; routefinding would be epic for climbers not familiar with the Tetons and that mountain specifically. Far more convoluted than most Sierra summits, the Grand has many (maybe 30?) different routes and variations.
me and my friends made it to the part where we needed to climb and had to turn back cause of lightning storm, going back to the parking lot was worse part cause it felt like forever, my friend got hyperthermia and we all got some mild hypoxia
I wouldn't post these questions on youtube. Look into the book The Freedom of the Hills and get on climbing forums. Most importantly get climbing if you haven't already. Or go with a guide service like Exum or something. Wish you the best of luck in your quest.
