Mt. Moran

Category: Wyoming (Tetons)Summit Elev: 12,605 ftRock Type: Gneiss
Date: July 18&19, 2019 (Thu&Fri)Trip Report #: 354Partner: Will Maness

Route: Direct South Buttress (IV, 5.9 C1, 11p, ~1500') + CMC Route to top (5.5)  (apparently V+ for the entire link-up)

Approach via canoe, 1500 feet of 5.7-5.9 climbing, aiding through a steep C1 crack high on the route, wind gusts threatening to blow us off of the rock, an amazing bivy site high up on the rugged walls of Moran, and a fun 5.5 solo to the summit. Plus, a very uncrowded Fifty Classic. An all-around awesome athletic alpine adventure!
