Client DeFazio successful on Grand Teton ski 2/24/08
On February 20 and 21, Exum client David DeFazio, with Exum guides Nat Patridge and Bill Liberatore, was successful in his third attempt to ski the Grand Teton. The Grand Teton usually is skiable only a handful of days during the winter months, and Patridge picked the day perfectly. It was the first time the Grand Teton has been ski guided during the winter season (Dec 22-Mar 21). After watching the lunar eclipse during their ascent, the trio skied powder on the east face and Ford Couloir, then rappeled the Chevy Couloir and lower portion of the Stettner Couloir, and then skied the Teepe Snowfield out Garnet Canyon.

In January 2008, Exum guide Rolando Garibotti and Colin Haley completed the much-discussed—and occasionally attempted—Torre Traverse: the link-up of Aguja Standhardt, Punta Herron, Torre Egger, and Cerro Torre in a single alpine-style outing. Garibotti also attempted the traverse in November 2007 with Exum guide Hans Johnstone, but the pair were turned back because of poor conditions.
