Teepe Pillar

Teepe Pillar is a granite mountain summit in Grand Teton National Park that rises to approximately 12,300 feet. The peak features a distinctive pyramidal shape and forms part of the imposing Teton Range skyline.

Theodore Teepe died during early exploration of the Teton Range on the adjacent glacier that bears his name. The peak was named in his memory and has since attracted climbers seeking technical challenges in the high mountains.

The name honors Theodore Teepe, who lost his life on the adjacent Teepe Glacier during early exploration of the Teton mountain range.

Climbers reach the summit through Garnet Canyon to the Lower Saddle via technical rock routes. Proper climbing equipment and significant mountaineering experience are necessary for this ascent.

From the north face, Teepe Pillar presents a sheer drop of 1,200 feet leading to the glacier below, creating exceptional climbing conditions.
