Happy memories at the Climber's Ranch

I first stayed there in the summer of 1976, shortly after the American Alpine Club purchased the old dude ranch and set it up for climbers in the Tetons.

Fond memories of great routes; wonderful memories of reading in the library on the odd rainy day; memories of chewing the fat while cooking dinner; frustrating memories of trying to duplicate Gill's boulder problems; memories of all you can eat at Dornan's, beers at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar and watching the first Star Wars; memories of meeting famous climbers like Roskelley, Chouinard, Donnini, and Barber; and of course, best of all were the great times with buddies.

Take the time to read this nice article from the Gear Junkie website ...
