The CAM Project

HELP KEEP TETON CLIMBING SAFE

The TCC’s Climbing Area Modernization (CAM) Project helps ensure the safety of routes in the Jackson Hole area. Our Rock Springs Buttress Audit creates a baseline assessment for existing hardware at the iconic area; our guide for new route development provides best practices for first ascensionists; and our Bad Bolt form allows climbers to report suspect hardware issues.

Delta Lake Trail Project

A TWO-PHASE SOLUTION

Delta Lake has become one of Grand Teton National Park’s most photographed destinations. Fueled by social media and GPS apps, hundreds of hikers visit daily—causing severe erosion, vegetation loss, litter, and overcrowding.

To address the damage, the TCC, in partnership with the national climbing advocacy organization Access Fund, has proposed a two-phase rehabilitation of the “social trail” to Delta Lake.

As noted in the Jackson Hole News & Guide, Phase 1, which would commence next summer, would “stop the bleeding,” buying the Park time to assess next steps.
