Nestled among the peaks of the central Teton Range, Mt Wister is in a beautiful canyon off the beaten path, thus providing a serene climbing experience. This climb is up the north face of the mountain along the east chimney. To get to the base of the mountain, the route begins at Taggart Lake Trailhead and heads into Avalanche Canyon. A nice camping location is near the base of the mountain at Lake Taminah. From the lake, you will need to cross a section of glacier to get to the base of the climb. Begin the climb up the chimney by using a ledge to gain access. Three pitches lead to the upper and more difficult section. Climb the first pitch of the upper section on the either wall, pass a small bulge and then go up into the chimney. The next pitch climb behind a large chockstone.The third pitch can be stemmed over on the outside. At this point, you could scramble up to the east ridge and toward the summit. The climb is well-protected.
