Surprise Lake is often used as an approach to Delta Lake and Mt Owen

Surprise Lake Pinnacle

The first time I went up to this pinnacle was with my brother Drew and his wife Mary in the 70s. I was recently visiting the jenny Lake ranger station talking with ranger George Montopli. I asked what his favorite view was, and he said the Suprise Lake Pinnacle. I later went up and camped at Surprise Lake.

On the west side of the Tetons you have a different view than in the Jackson Hole side. This is the view that the first trappers, explorers and surveying parties had of the Grand.

Looking north from the Grandstand, Tetons

Dawn on the Grandstand

I returned to complete the North Ridge of the Grand in summer of 2017. The climb up to the Grandstand is the crux of this route, with over 6,000 feet of elevation gain from Jenny Lake.
