Aug 5: The Grand
We climbed the Grand Teton via the Petzoldt Direct route, one of the 'Classic' Teton routes.
We began the approach at 6600', with 13,800' in our sights.
We set base camp in the shadow of the Middle Teton.
With warm temps, the snowmelt fed many creeks.
We successfully completed our route, but bad weather forced us to turn back just short of the true summit. We caught wind, rain, and even SNOW at the top, but the ridges just to the south experienced the worst of it, including lightning.
With bad weather-related accidents the week before (including fatalities), the Tetons are no place to fool around with the weather. I would've loved to stand on the summit, but that thrill will have to wait.
I also filmed a little POV of the adventure. The editing process will begin soon. I hope to have it finished later this month.

Feb 10: Tetons Touring
Finally, I made it through the edits.
(Also, the video is a large file, for your viewing pleasure, so be patient while it loads.)
Tetons Touring Feb '10 from Jeremy Koons on Vimeo.
We spent 3 days touring the Teton Pass area.
I shot 3000 images, about 75% time lapse, and a bit of HD video.
We stayed in Driggs, ID, at the NOLS branch, where they provided $5 meals and free housing.
All we had to do was clean the walls. What a deal!

Earning our room & board, cleaning the laundry room walls.
There are 1000's of images yet to come, and video too.
A time lapse video of the entire trip is in the works.
It should be interesting.
