Audio Description

Glen Exum first climbed the Grand Teton with Paul Petzoldt in 1929. Together they established the Petzoldt-Exum School of American Mountaineering. They believed that clients should learn the skills necessary to participate actively while climbing to the summits of the high Teton peaks. Today, skilled guides train clients of all ages to experience the mountains.

Name Origin

Glen Exum was working with Paul Petzoldt in 1931 when he pioneered the second known route up the Grand Teton. The two established a guiding service that taught clients how to climb so that they could assist in their own endeavours unlike in Europe where clients were pulled to the summit.
