FALL UPDATE - SEPTEMBER 21, 2018

Although conditions remain warm and dry, climbers and hikers should be prepared to deal with changing conditions, including:

• Snow, ice and verglas in shaded areas, especially on north and west aspects above 11,000 feet
• Freezing overnight temperatures. On average, temperatures drop 3 degrees for every 1,000 feet of elevation gain.
• Shorter days- usable light until 7:30-8:00 pm.
• Rescue operations can be limited by reduced staffing, severe weather and limited helicopter use. Consider your climbing objectives carefully and be prepared for self-rescue. 

Specific route condition updates will be limited as we transition to fall and staffing is reduced. This Homepage will continue to provide periodic updates on general Teton Range conditions.

CONDITIONS UPDATE - SEPTEMBER 10, 2018

Most of the snow and ice from the August 28th storm has melted from the upper elevations. Expect mostly dry conditions on southern aspects. Pockets of snow and ice can still be found on northern and western aspects above 12,000'. Climbing experience and familiarity with the Teton Range will determine the need for ice axe and crampons.
