I imagine that with 10 days we might be able to do the following: warmups on Baxter Pinnacle and Symmetry Spire, the East Ridge of the Grand Teton, and the Cathedral Traverse. As per the pros and cons ... one of the best pros is a committed partner, and Larry is one of the best, add to that good weather, AAC Climber's Ranch, and easy air travel access. On the cons side are long walks in and out, and a lack of snow and mixed routes. Still, a pretty appealing alpine vacation!
One of the enclosed pictures shows a climber on the summit of Teewinot looking over at Owens and the Grand Teton. The other picture shows the East Ridge (and easier Koven route) on Owens, and the ridge over to Gunsight Notch, the Grandstand (fabulous bivvy spot), and the North Ridge of the Grand ... The Cathedral Traverse.
