We advocate, steward and engage on behalf of Teton climbers.

"The Grand was my first technical climb and so muc "The Grand was my first technical climb and so much fun that I married my partner the next day at Schwabacher's Landing. Having spent years visiting and climbing here and now living in the Valley, I’m grateful for the TCC’s leadership and long-term commitment to these mountains." 

"The TCC plays a critical role in stewarding and supporting the broader Teton climbing community. Their work ensures these landscapes are cared for thoughtfully and that climbers have a strong, responsible voice at the table." — TCC Founding Member Keegan Young, Executive Director, Teton County Search and Rescue Foundation

From spearheading the Delta Lake Trail rehabilitation project to teaching climbers the skills they need to stay safe in the mountains to restoring suspect hardware at crags throughout the Valley, the TCC exists to make climbing better for all of us.

“I dream I can belong here.” That six-word love l “I dream I can belong here.”

That six-word love letter—written by Teton County resident Miga Rossetti—is the winner of AlpinFilm 2026’s Six-Word Love Letters project.

As judge Matt Daly, Executive Director of the Jackson Hole Writers, described it: simple, vulnerable, and aspirational.

A reminder that the lands we love need our voices.

Thank you to everyone who shared their love for the lands that move them.
