okay ladies...this is my first experience with a blog....hope it is helpful. here's the deal....finished up most of the details last night. there are a few changes.
first of all....we are climbing the grand teton in teton national park....right outside of jackson hole, wyoming.
we are using jackson hole mountain guides. this is a challenging climb/hike and we will have 1 guide to every 3 wild women. the person in charge of our climb is patrick peterson. 307-733-4979...patrick would like to speak with each and every wild woman that is considering this trip. he wants everyone to completely understand what you aregetting yourselves into.
you will need to fly into jackson on monday, july 20th. we will pick you up at the airport....just let me know what your flight arrangements are. we will also get you back to the airport on saturday.
we will begin our training on the mountain on tuesday, july 21st.
we start our official climb/hike on wednesday morning and descend on friday morning. there will be a full moon when we are on the mountain...how cool is that?
friday night, we will have dinner and a slideshow of all the photographs from the climb. we have 3 professional photographers going on this trip....and great light with the full moon. needless to say there will be some kickin' images from the trip.
you can fly home saturday....unless you want to stay and hang out with us in dubois...great riding, fishing and general lalagaging around promised.
the trip is going to cost $1000 plus airfare. this is for 1 full day,pre-climb instruction in the tetons, 3 days...2 nights on the mountain, all the guide services (1 guide/ 3 women ratio), great food and wine, porters to schlep our stuff up the mountain and an amazing experience and memory...oh yeah... and cool "wild women rock wyoming...no whining allowed" t-shirts and ball caps!
everybody needs to fly in on july 20th....doesn't matter what time ....and be ready to rock and roll on the 21st. we will head up the mountain on the 22nd and descend on the 24th.
go to the website, look at the three day grand teton climb...it will give you a pretty good idea of what we will be doing. keep in mind that the trip is being catered to our needs and specifications...like good wine/food... and a porter to take our gear up ( which is huge!!!!) also, go to the haul bag and pull down photos for grand teton. this will either inspire or scare the holy crap out of you!!!
don't forget to call patrick peterson. 307-733-4979. the trip is under the missy sprouse wild women trip. patrick would like to speak with each and every person that is considering going. you can also book your trip with him.
sorry, the cost was more than i thought...but, after speaking at length with patrick i think the training day and an extra day on the mountain are important for safety and for a more pleasurable experience. it is a heckuva deal!!!
fyi...the more you prepare for this trip ...the more you will enjoy it!!! there is nothing like this kind of trip to motivate us to get prepared!!!
believe there are no limits but the sky! ~cervantes
