The Belly Roll on the Grand Teton's Owen-Spalding Route
Just past the Belly Roll along the exposed ledge leading to the Crawl.
Getting ready for the Crawl and then the crux of the exposed section.
The Crawl.
The move from just below the First Entrance of the Double Chimney to the Second Entrance of the Double Chimney. This is a dicey area when snow & ice cover the slab.
Andrew is past the Second Entrance and on the ledge leading to the Great West Chimney. Due to conditions, they decided to bypass the GWC and run up the traditional OS Route.
It's only 2,500' to the next stopping point if you fall.
