Just discovered and greatly enjoy your adventuring! This initial episode released some flashbacks of my own: Early 70s, I and four friends did the first one-day winter ascent (we were told) of the Middle Teton. The peak had remained unclimbed in this manner because the hard-body, sweat-hog types devoted such efforts to being the first one-day winter ascent of next-door Grand Teton, annually. Unlike your bad weather day we enjoyed bluebird conditions. We used skinny skies with pin bindings to reach the summit couloir then took turns swimming upstream in deep pow to the summit block. As we were appreciating a stunning 250 mile view in all directions a Leer jet shot passed. It appeared so close we were transfixed and then amused as the plane circled back and executed a wing-wave as they passed by. While both groups had great vistas, we fully agreed among ourselves that the jet occupants had the best seats in the house. A one-day climbing classification means a long day. My chum Donny, was filming our trek for a college film class credit which affected our forward progress at times with him having to direct such bad actors. We had left our vehicles at 4: 30 AM and returned there 22 hours later, and definitely, one of those best days ever!

Love it! I always feel like a real idiot when everything goes tits up when I do the very basic adventures I do. So I think it is really good of you guys to show it happens to even people who know what they are doing. Thank you, it gives me hope.

The day before you need to eat a good lunch but do a light dinner, preferably carb based like pasta with butter/olive oil. Avoid the silly sodas altogether, stick with water, juice, tea, or a little coffee.

I saw the second successful Middle Teton video, with its references to this attempt. Amazing difference.
Blake's description of pre-trip anxiety is a classic. Happy to now I'm not the only one.

Great attitude for the adventure. Love it! And I have fond memories of Lava Hot Springs. You forgot to roll in the snow before getting in.
