Glen Exum was working as a musician on a dude ranch back during the Great Depression when he made the first ascent wearing cowboy boots. That was the beginning of Exum becoming one of the most legendary climbing guides in the Tetons. I climbed the route in early June all the way from Lupine Meadows in the traditional big leather climbing boots of yesteryear. Much of it was still covered in snow and ice. I don't recall needing much upper body strength back when we wore big leather climbing boots and could stand on our feet.

Oh man, I wish I was with you guys! I haven't been trad climbing in the mountains in over 5 years! thanks to a move of residence that has facilitated my endurance running at the cost of my rock climbing. Now that Danny has got the shoes, more climbing videos guys! (p. s. Danny, you didn't need tight shoes for multi-pitch trad! Pain goes with sport climbing; -) )

Nice climbing Chase and very classy Danny to tell it the way it really is, tough and gnarly. Get some TC pro's like Chase, way more comfy, and just leave them on for all the class 5 pitches, way safer, especially soloing, that alway how I roll. .. . The cold sucks climbing, makes the risk level way more unpredictable. .. especially soloing!

Impressive to watch as always. Your ability to be confident and controlled with that kind of exposure is something that I admire and most definitely do not possess. So thanks for letting us who would be paralyzed by the exposure live it vicariously through you.

so funny about the climbing shoes! that's what I thought when I got my first pair, but the salesperson was definitely right! helps with stability and power on small footholds, but you probably know that now, with this video being 9+ mths old

Could you write in the description what time of year you do each of your adventures? It would be great to get a sense of the conditions at various times! (i know this one was in september, but in many other videos it doesn't say)

Had the chance to climb the Exum route n the early 1980s and spent the night before in the hut with Glenn Exum himself. He was doing an anniversary ascent. Very memorable. Great video.

That was fkn great! I've always wondered what that route looked like up close. Turns out it looks even more terrifying than I thought it would. Lol.

Interesting the climb was in September and video is being uploaded in December. Not meant to be mean in any way. Just surprised about the timeline.

This is my favorite video of yours so far. I have climbed the grand and your depiction of a first time grand climber is perfect. Keep it up!

Is the fifth pitch have an actual climbing grade like 5. 6 or 5. 7? Or is the whole route classified as scrambling?

You don't need super tight shoes for trad climbing- especially lower grades. Comfort is more important on all day efforts.
