At 13,776 feet, the Grand Teton towers over its namesake national park. Considered a testpiece of ski-mountaineering, Jimmy Chin and Cody Townsend ice climb up the Teton and drop into some awesome couloirs.

As if Townsend on camera isn’t great enough, the skier teams up with photographer, skier, and climber Chin for the 12th episode of his “The FIFTY” project.
