This hike begins at Lupine Meadows and follows the south fork of Garnet Canyon. Getting lost in the upper Tetons is not difficult. Avoid getting lost by climbing all the way to the saddle between the South and Middle Teton. Once at the saddle take the largest most obvious couloir heading to the summit. In the early season and early hours of the day crampons may be useful on the harder snow. Take a climbing helmet as this route is popular and subject to falling rock. Be careful and mindful of climbing parties above and below you. Climbing equipment may be necessary in snow and ice conditions.
