Investigation Summary
At 10:15 a.m. on July 23, 2016, an employee was attempting to get a belay device un-struck from the face of the Owing-Spalding rappel on the Grand Teton Mountain. The employee was wearing a Mammut Climbing harness, using 9/16 8 foot synthetic flat strap runner as a positioning device. The employee was using two 20 meter climbing ropes to lower clients to the upper saddle floor in a belayed rappel. The employee was also wearing a climbing helmet.
