    Great Video. It always sucks making the decision to abandon a summit, BUT it is the right decision when you can't do it safely due to weather, light, your own skill/comfort, or other objective hazards. Your attitude about this adventure is precisely what it should be. You got to spend time up high in the wilderness, in a beautiful place with your buddies. Everyone walked away and you can always take another shot at it in the future. I've abandoned summits and come back to summit later. Exercise good judgment and you'll still be climbing well into your 50s and 60s. Good on ya! Cheers.

    I'm glad that you had a good attitude about it, and appreciated the experience that you had. I lead that route about 40 years ago, with a guy that I met in the Jenny Lake campground the day before! We also got stuck for hours behind a large and slow group of beginners, but at the first rappel point coming down off of the summit, and they would not even let us set up and rappel next to them. My girlfriend at the time had been waiting all day at the Upper Saddle because of altitude sickness, and got badly sunburned. She had been wondering what the hell had happened to us. We got back to camp at the Lower Saddle long after dark, and could barely find the tent.

    Next hire Exum Guides. They will spend a day with you nailing down your technical skills. You will spend an extra 24 hours at altitude so you won't face issues up high. You can sleep in their cabin so you won't have do carry so much heavy gear. They will nail down logistics so you will leave MUCH earlier on summit day and if you encounter crowds (which you shouldn't if you start early and Exum will alleviate issues with route finding in the dark for you) they will have plan B options on routes to avoid 2.5 hour bottlenecks. If you learn the ropes from experts, next time you and your friends want to try it without guiding help, you will feel far more confident and make much better decisions that optimize your chances of summitting.

    I truly loved your video. You were much more prepared and more responsible than I was back in the day. In 1977 I graduated from high school, my girl friend and best friend went on an epic adventure across the country. We drove from Massachusetts all over the west for an entire summer. The last thing we did before hitting the road was pick up a quarter pound of pot and off we went. Since it was 1977 our packs weighed over 50 pounds each. We never made to the top either because of poor weather but to be honest that was a blessing. We had literally no mountaineering experience and almost no backpacking experience either. The altitude kicked our asses. I can remember having sex with girlfriend on the climb up to the lower saddle in the middle of the day. We met some really chill people and had a great time at night hanging with them and smoking weed. Yeah we all had substance abuse issues back then. I returned two more times and had some great climbs. Exum Ridge and others I don’t remember. We spent five days up there once. I lost my climbing shoes on the last belay ledge. I am sure you learned a lot and if you ever return I am sure things will go better. I must add we had no issues with crowds back in the day. Take care and thanks for sharing your adventure.

    I tried to summit The Grand in July 2016. While we were camped on the saddle there was an accident and one of the Exum guides died. The summit was closed and we could only go up to The Enclosure which is west of the Upper Saddle. It's hard to make it that far and not get to summit, but that's all part of mountain climbing. It just gives you a reason to go back. I hope you get to summit it someday.
