Begin at Lupine Meadows and head to Amphitheater Lake. This push can be done in a one day herculean push; however, most people elect to camp (with a backcountry permit) near the Teton Glacier.The Koven Couloir is the most popular approach to Mt. Owen and is also the most popular route to descend. It is the easiest route to the summit of Mt. Owen.Expect snow travel and possible ice mixed with 5th class climbing in the couloirs. You will need traditional climbing gear and the descent will be easier and faster with several rappels going down the same way you came up.
