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

OK, climbers, next question for our Teton Toolkit. OK, climbers, next question for our Teton Toolkit. What's your piolet of choice for June ascents of the GT?
Our fearless leader, TCC founder Christian Beckwit Our fearless leader, TCC founder Christian Beckwith, has announced his decision to step down from his role as Executive Director. 

Under his leadership, the TCC: 
• Helped secure the expansion of the Teton County Recreation Center climbing gym from 5,750 to nearly 10,000 square feet.
• Established the Climbing Area Management (CAM) Project to monitor, inspect, and replace aging climbing hardware throughout the Jackson Hole area.
• Catalyzed the Delta Lake Trail Project, helping advance a low-cost, rapid intervention to rehabilitate one of Grand Teton National Park’s most heavily used social trails.
• Developed the Safe Climbing Initiative to enhance the skills and safety of local climbers.
• Created the AlpinFilm Festival, Women’s Grand Scholarship, Community Climb Nights, Re-Roping Program, and TCC Membership Program.

The TCC, though, was only the latest chapter in more than three decades of work in conservation, outdoor recreation, and community engagement.

Drawn to the Tetons by an article on alpine climbing in 1993, he:
• founded The Wayward Mountaineers, a local climbing organization that published The Mountain Yodel
• edited The American Alpine Journal, mountaineering’s journal of record
• dounded Alpinist Magazine and the Alpinist Film Festival
• coordinated development of the Teton Boulder Park
• launched the Town Pump summertime bouldering series
• created the adventure-athlete platform Outerlocal
• founded SHIFT, a nonprofit organization focused on conservation, recreation, and public health
• continues to produce the award-winning podcast, Ninety-Pound Rucksack

Please join us in an enormous round of thanks for everything he has done for the climbing community over the past six years!

Teton climbers, help us out. Our beloved mountains Teton climbers, help us out. Our beloved mountains are so specific, choosing the right tools for the job can be maddeningly hard.

First up: crampons.

What 'poons do you pick for an early-season ascent of the GT? Cite the footwear for your choice (e.g., rear welt, no welt, toe welt). 

Let us know what's in your Teton Toolkit!
