Climb prepared and carry equipment that would allow you to self-rescue should you encounter difficulties or injury.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#663333;">Objective hazards include rockfall and falling ice, avalanches, lightning and bad weather.</span></strong> Afternoon thunderstorms are common during the summer and snow can fall during any month. A bluebird day in the morning can easily turn into a hail storm in the afternoon. Consider the escape routes available to you before you start your climb.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#663333;">Snow can be found in the Tetons year-round.</span></strong> Consider bringing an ice axe through mid-July and know how to use it to self-arrest and self-belay on snow. Snowfield crossings can be extremely hazardous and are the source of serious accidents in the Tetons.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#663333;">Take responsibility for your safety.</span></strong> While Jenny Lake Rangers are highly skilled and experienced in mountain rescue, many variables may delay or impede a rescue if you should have an accident. Take responsibility for yourself and your partners. Learn about wilderness medicine and be prepared to respond to emergencies.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33192178-115630166484218878?l=tetonclimbingsar.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Grand Teton National Parknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33192178.post-1156300423699364112006-08-22T19:21:00.032-07:002012-02-24T09:01:16.880-07:00<strong><span style="color: #990000;
