Grand Tetpon Untrod Despite Summit Attempts
Cheyenne authorities report a failed ascent attempt on Grand Teton after a Yellowstone trip. W Owen and deputy Nieswars concluded the peak remains inaccessible with six unsuccessful climbs, noting the summit is likely not reached and the Hayden monument lies about 500 feet below the top. Elevation readings varied with barometers indicating 72,000 feet at a high point, and the vertical granite shaft blocked by an overhanging ledge ending progress. The account emphasizes the peak’s extreme inaccessibility for unaccompanied climbers.
