Route Climbed: Direct South Ridge Date Climbed: 14 August 2005
Great climb! Got a little off route after the first few pitches but it was still fun. Long one day climb from trailhead. Left the car at 4:30am and it took about 11 hours. Good rappel and exposed down climbing on descent.

Beautiful moderate climb. Climbed it with bthere on a Saturday then woke up on Sunday and climbed Open Book (very nice 5.9) which was minutes from our campsite at the Platforms. Highly recommend this combination for a full weekend.
Route Climbed: Direct Sout Ridge III, 5.7 Date Climbed: August 2001
The approach from the platforms camping area to the base of this route is by far the coolest hiking I have ever done in the Tetons. And I go the the Tetons often. The route is commiting, but the climbing is never very difficult. The descent seemed to open before us as we moved down.

Route Climbed: Direct South Ridge Date Climbed: April 4th '00Fun climb. We did it fairly early in the season but found it to be mostly a rock climb.
