The southeast ridge of Buck Mountain rises from the saddle between the mountain and Static Peak. The route crosses over a bowl where Timberline Lake resides. An ice axe will be needed to cross this section in snow and ice conditions. To reach the saddle, climb through a couloir up to the ridge. Follow the ridge to the summit, with a tower ascent along the route. This is a great climb on good rock, offering an alternative to the standard East Face or East Ridge route.

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.

Named after the famous author, Owen Wister, Mt Wister is not frequently climbed, but does provide impressive views of Buck Mountain and Garnet Canyon. This route up the northeast couloir is the most straightforward method that leads to the summit. Before Lake Taminah, you'll cross over the outlet stream and onto the glaciated ledge. After ascending the loose talus and scree slope, climb through the broad couloir on the east ridge. Scramble up the left edge of the ridge to the summit. An ice axe is necessary, especially in early and mid-season.
