This 30-second video features Griffin Post ripping down the Middle Teton in the Teton Range, Wyoming. ย It took Griffin and Zahan Billimoria about 8 hours to climb to the top. ย Any normal person, after 8 hours of climbing, wouldn’t have been able to ski a line this heavy well. ย Griff isn’t any normal person.
After 8 hours of climbing he was able to drop in and rip the east face of the Middle Teton top to bottom without stopping. ย And he did it with style.
THE MIDDLE TETON INFO:
Middle Tetonย (12,804 feet (3,903ย m)) is the third highest peak in theย Teton Range,ย Grand Teton National Park,ย Wyoming.[3]The peak is immediately southwest ofย Grand Tetonย and the two are separated from one another by the lowerย saddle, a broad high ridge at 11,600 feet (3,540ย m). Theย Middle Teton Glacierย is located on the eastern slopes of the peak. Middle Teton is a classic pyramidal shaped alpine peak and is sometimes included as part of theย Cathedral Groupย of high Teton peaks. The 40-mile (64ย km) long Teton Range is the youngest mountain chain in theย Rocky Mountains, and began their uplift 9 million years ago, during theย Miocene.[4]ย Several periods ofย glaciationย have carved Middle Teton and the other peaks of the range into their current shapes.[5]ย From the lower saddle, a distinctive feature known as the black dike appears as a straight line running from near the top of the mountain down 800 feet (240ย m).[6]ย The black dike is aย basalticย intrusionย that occurred long after the surrounding rock was formed. – wikipedia
