Symmetry Spire

Nature
Symmetry Spire is a prominent peak in Wyoming’s Teton Range within Grand Teton National Park, rising above the northwest shore of Jenny Lake and the head of Cascade Canyon in a striking part of the central Teton skyline. Reaching between 10,565 and 10,645 feet, it is known for its sharp form and for the steep, demanding rock that has long drawn climbers. Fritiof Fryxell and Phil Smith made the first recorded ascent on August 20, 1929, by the east ridge route. Just northwest of the summit, Lake of the Crags sits in a small cirque reached through Hanging Canyon.
