Teepe Pillar

Teepe Pillar is a 12,271-foot peak in Wyoming’s Teton Range within Grand Teton National Park, rising just south of Grand Teton as the range’s seventh-highest mountain. A steep-sided col separates it from Grand Teton, and Teepe Glacier lies below its summit in a cirque to the northeast. Although it stands near some of the Tetons’ most famous summits, it is difficult to see from Jackson Hole because Disappointment Peak blocks most views. For climbers, the standard approach goes through Garnet Canyon to the Lower Saddle, and even the easiest western route is a steep technical ascent requiring up to five pitches of Class 5.4 climbing.
