Access, closures, permits & safety

Access

From Teton Village follow McCollister Road toward Union Pass, then the connecting trail and service road to the steep final approach. The specialist guide estimates roughly 1.5–3 hours on foot, depending on pace and route finding.

Parking

Parking capacity, fees and road access can change. Confirm current conditions before departure.

Permits & access rules

Safety

Weathered granite can be loose or slippery; the guide recommends a helmet and a 70-metre rope. Keep equipment close because marmots have damaged shoes and ropes, and carry warm layers for the shaded morning approach.

Closures and permit rules can change without notice. Recheck the official land manager before departure.

About this crag

Its fractured granite requires careful route assessment despite fixed anchors. Plan the full hiking approach and descent; old tram prices and last-ride times in the guide are not treated as current transport information.

Recommended equipment

Bring equipment appropriate to the climbing style and local conditions. A helmet is strongly recommended.
