Symmetry Coulior to Upper West Face
Description
A recommended route up a fine summit and a shorter Teton day climb.
Approach as for the Symmetry Spires south side routes. Take the Symmetry Coulior to the Ice Point col. Pass Ice point on a faint trail to the west and traverse over to the Storm Point summit block by gaining the Ice Point/Storm Point col then ascending for a short bit to a wide-ish ledge which winds around to the west.
Back and forth on gully-esque features and after a short scramble, the summit is attained.
Reverse the route on descent. A rope and some gear may be prudent for less savvy aspiring alpinists and those with a lack of route finding. Descending any route besides back to the cols at Ice Point and Symmetry Spire would prove "interesting" in the least (get back to the approach col!).
Location
The Upper West Face of Storm Point is accessed from the prominent Symmetry Coulior.
Protection
A smattering of medium to large nuts, a few cams, shoulder length slings and a 60m rope if belays are desired. Commonly soloed.
