I originally engaged Exum and "Hutch" to climb Mount Owen, not knowing how serious an undertaking that is. After a day of rope work and practice climbs, Hutch consulted other staff and gently informed me that he thought Owen would be really hard for me. I listened carefully and took his word. Instead of Owen, we went up Ice Point on a 1 day climb that was, in fact, the most I could have done - and therefore completely fulfilling. I could not have had a better time in the Tetons thanks to Hutch's personal judgment as well as climbing skill. I intend to come back to do other climbs (within my limits). Steve (age 75) read less

We did a custom 2 day where we learned some skills on the first day and did a climb on the second day. Matt was our guide and he was phenomenal. He was very supportive and we learned a lot about how to approach the different challenges. My husband and I are in our mid 50s with no prior climbing experience and we had our teenage daughter with us. All of us were challenged to our limits and had an amazing experience. read less

Complete and uncompromised professionalism from the entire Exum team. Scheduling, pre-trip information and updates, training, and the approach and climb were simply just awesome! Difficult yes - but the difficulty was managed in a way to optimize success. This was not a guide pulling us up the mountain but an experience where we felt like and in fact were part of a climbing team. If you want to be successful in your attempt to climb the Grand, then Exum is the company to call. Thanks Aaron, Margo, and Susan for an amazing experience!Wes read less

Epic experience summiting the Grand Tetons with Exum. The experience could not have been better and the guides were super knowledgable and patient.

The climb consisted mostly of a hike to the technical rock climb. The climb itself was pretty easy but had a few sections with exposure. If the 5.4 rating makes you think it's too easy so you would avoid it, the view is very much worth it. Also, Emily was knowledgable and very competent. read less

We took the boat across the lake with them then hiked up to some amazing climbing routes. Brian and Thomas were awesome, super friendly and made us all feel very safe - they paid close attention to everyone’s skill level while bouldering in the beginning, and tailored the climbing routes accordingly. No one in our group is an experienced climbers and we all loved it. Highly recommended! read less

If you're reading these reviews considering an attempt to summit The Grand than you should just go ahead and book it. As promised on Exum's website and mentioned in reviews, it will probably be the hardest thing you've ever done, it WILL be the most rewarding thing you've ever done, and it will most likely change your look on life. SAFETY was obviously top of mind but after two days of training with Kai, we were ready to tackle the mountain with 100% confident that we had the tools and knowledge to do it safely. What I did not consider while we were signing up is the importance of your guide. They will MAKE this experience and when it comes to Exum you can only expect the best. Kai had 15 years on his resume before he was even hired at Exum. That was 5 years ago and he's still one of the "newbies." On the mountain we saw a couple of guys that were actually running the Grand summit plus two others in one day. One of them was an Exum guide. Another Exum guide is an actual geologist that wrote a book on the Grand Tetons. The bottom line is that Exum only hires the best and you can't go wrong.We couldn't be happier with the entire experience. We are hoping we actually caught the mountaineering bug and look forward to our next adventure with Exum. read less

Our guides, Michael and Scott were patient, kind and most importantly excellent teachers. We appreciated how professional and fun they were. They gave us confidence and were wonderful with us as a group with kids. We did a family climb/bouldering day in the Inspiration Point area that was truly the highlight of our trip. I could not recommend it more. read less

They provided quality, clean gear and had a terrific plan for the day - a mix of bouldering, top rope and multi-pitch climbing. Our group had some rock climbing experience (mostly in gyms) but we were definitely beginners. Our guides, Tim and Evan, were really helpful, patient, supportive and encouraging. Their location inside the park and just yards from Jenny Lake makes it a really convenient launch site. It is a beautiful, fun and challenging way to experience the majesty of the Tetons. Highly recommend it! read less
