Middle Teton

I would like to get some interested backpackers to do a Middle Teton trip this summer.

This is a non-technical climb (II Class 3) from the southwest couloir. The peak is 12,804 feet, so perhaps not for those coming from sea level, or prone to altitude sickness.
The trip would start from Lupine Meadows in Grand Teton National Park, on to the bottom of the couloir by way of Garnet Canyon. We would make camp there and do the climb the next morning, in an attempt to start our decent by 2:00pm, (as the chances of afternoon storms increases greatly by then.) From the saddle, the climb to the summit is about 5 hours.
There will most likely be several snow field crossings, and the hikers will need to own and know how to use an ice axe. Also, the hikers must be prepared for severe weather. It can go from 60 degrees to snow in the same day.
The trip would probably be for a maximum of about five people, as the permits are limited.
