Climbers Plan Teton Assault on New Year's Day
A 26 man party led by Paul Petzoldt plans a New Year’s Day winter ascent of Grand Teton in Grand Teton National Park. Two groups built snow caves at 10,800 and 8,400 feet to rest before advancing to the 11,700 foot saddle and the SLOW Caves with a possible later push for the summit. Weather, wind and a moose amid deep snow challenge the plan.
