Serendipity Arête on the west side of Mount Owen Serendipity Arête on the west side of Mount Owen was established on August 8, 1959, by Bill Buckingham, Sterling Neale, Rick Medrick and Frank Magary. Per Buckingham's write-up in the 1960 American Alpine Journal: "The route lies on a steep ridge or corner which runs diagonally across Mount Owen’s west face and culminates in the final black tower of the north ridge. "From a camp at the lovely little meadow in Valhalla Canyon, we scrambled up a confused maze of couloirs, shelves, gullies and slabs, more or less along the lower part of the West Ledges Route, to a point where our ridge began as an indistinct rib leading up to a great, smooth, yellow, vertical tower. This tower was climbed via a series of slabs on its west side and then around the corner to the right, where several direct-aid pitons were used in the lower part of a chimney. "Two more rope-lengths brought us to the spectacular knife-edged summit of this first tower. The second tower provided two fairly difficult pitches, and the third tower, really a short vertical step, was easily climbed by traversing out to the north and back, bringing us to the foot of the final tower. A series of cracks and huge, loose flakes on its north side served to get us started here; several hundred feet of easy scrambling led on to the top of the highest tower on the north ridge, from which we climbed the summit knob via the regular Koven chimney." What an adventure!

Sheila started climbing on her off days while conducting research in the alpine environments of Colorado. Over the years, her climbing has been enriched by supportive communities and organizations such as the American Alpine Club of NC who awarded her the Kidder Aspiring Alpinist Award in 2014. Now she's paying it forward by serving the Teton climbing community through advocacy, stewardship, and community engagement.

This week, we visited Delta Lake with @AccessFund This week, we visited Delta Lake with @AccessFund Field Coordinator Loryn Posladek and Grand Teton National Park representatives Chris Bellino and Sarah Zermani to assess the heavily impacted social trail and discuss options for rehabilitation. The next day, we visited Rock Springs Buttress to assess the climbers' trail at the base of the cliff. Learn what we found at https://tinyurl.com/ethdn8y8.
Rock Springs Buttress needs our love. That's why w Rock Springs Buttress needs our love. That's why we created the Rock Springs Buttress Audit. Want to help? We've built a spreadsheet of all the routes at RSB, and we're asking climbers to climb them and help us build out a baseline assessment of the state of the hardware. See a spinner, or an anchor that needs attention? Take a photo and upload it, and your notes, to the spreadsheet. With some of the hardware now more than 20 years old, we're taking the opportunity to make sure it'll all still catch us if we fall.
