About Glenn Exum
- Glenn Exum (June 24, 1911 – March 17, 2000) numbers among the premier mountaineers in American climbing history.
- Exum is best remembered for ascents in the Teton Range.
- In 1931, while only in his teens, Exum was the first to climb the exposed ridge to the summit of Grand Teton which now bears his name.
- The Exum Ridge remains one of the most popular routes to the summit of Grand Teton.
- After traveling Europe and seeing mountain guides there essentially pull their clients up the mountain, Exum, along with his friend Paul Petzoldt, founded a climbing school to teach clients climbing skills to allow them to fully participate in ascending the mountain.
- The school they founded, now known as Exum Mountain Guides, still operates today within Grand Teton National Park.
