Footage from the summit of Baxter's Pinnacle, one of the most classic climbs in the Teton Range. The South Ridge/Face is rated at 5.9+, but is mostly 5.6 and 5.7, with the final pitch having a tough 5.9+ move. The climb supposedly is 6 pitches in length, but can be done in 4 if you scramble up the first pitch. The view from the summit is amazing, with the Grand Teton, Mount Owen, and Teewinot seen from a stunning angle. You must rappel off of the summit using a 70 meter rope and scramble down the gully in order to get down. From there it is a short hike from the mouth of Cascade Canyon around Jenny Lake to the parking area at String Lake.
