Medical Concerns – If you have any medical condition, or are taking medication that could affect your ability to participate in a challenging climbing activity, please see your doctor and confirm that you should participate.

Classic or Private Climb – If you are climbing the Grand Teton, please be sure to review and understand the differences between classic and private climbs. It’s important that you choose the option that matches your goals for the climb. It is unlikely that you will be able to change your plans after your reservation is made.

Early Season Climbs – Snow conditions in the high Teton peaks vary greatly from season to season. Typically if your climb begins on July 12th or earlier, a day of snow school is required in addition to the climbing and mountaineering instruction.

Please call our office (307-733-2297) to make your reservation. Our staff will answer any questions you have and help you reserve dates for your activities. Immediate family members (spouse and minor children) can be on the same reservation, and any other members of your party will need to make reservations of their own.

Grand Teton and all Multi-Day climbs: $500 per person. The deposit for climbs other than the Grand Teton will also include the $45 advance permit fee.

Single-Day activities: $100 per person with a maximum of $300 per party.

Within a day or two after you make your reservation, the deposit will be charged and a reservation confirmation will be sent to you. Please review the information and check the dates reserved to be sure they match your plans.

American, Delta, Frontier and United fly into the Jackson airport which is the only airport within the boundaries of a National Park. The runway runs parallel to the Teton Range and the view is breathtaking. You can also fly into Idaho Falls, ID (about 3 hours from our office) or Salt Lake City (about 6 hours from our office). You will need to arrive in Jackson at least the day before your activities begin, and since the return time from climbing depends on many factors, we ask that you do not book your departure flight until the day after your activities end.

You can review some of our favorite lodging options, or call the Chamber of Commerce at 307-733-3316 for other options.

You will need to arrange for your own transportation to and from all of your activities. Public transportation in the area is limited, time-consuming, and expensive. Due to the distances you will need to travel and the unpredictable finish times, we recommend renting a car for the duration of your stay in the Jackson area. Exum employees CANNOT provide transportation under any circumstances.

We recommend that you purchase a travel protection plan to help protect you and your travel investment against the unexpected.  For your convenience, we have worked with Travelex Insurance Services to assure that their plans are cost effective and appropriate for climbing activities. Travelex recommends the Adventure Sports upgrade on the Travel Select plan. For more information on the available plans or to enroll, visit Travelex Insurance Services or contact them at 800-228-9792. Please reference location number 50-0029 if you call so that the representative can easily help you.
