One of the best combos on the Grand is to do the Black Ice to the base of the West Face and finish with some really good rock climbing.

Jim,
Back in 1972, I did that combination of the Black I.C./West Face, with John Bouchard. We got hit by a snow storm right in the middle of the route, and continued on up the West Face anyway. It was late when we got to the summit,
but the storm cleared off. We ended up sleeping right on the summit, but it got cold!
Funny, but Ralph T. was the climbing ranger back then, and he told me years later that they were quite worried about us.
I concur that it is a good route.

As someone who climbed a lot in the Tetons in the 80's I concur with Jim - great route. I soloed the Black Ice/West Face around '84/85 - may have been the first solo ascent?

Jack looks way to serious for the Tetons. Take him to the Canadian Rockies. :)
