What are the benefits of booking a private trip as opposed to group trip?

Depending on conditions,  Jackson Hole Mountain Guides  will usually guide 3 clients with one guide.  If you have 3 friends that want to climb the Grand Teton,  Then you are in luck, you will have your own guide.  If you are a solo climber or a group of  two and you join a group trip, we will pair you with another climber or a group.  The good part about this, that you get to make new friends!  The possible downside is that if one of your new friends has to turn around, your summit attempt will be impacted.  That is where having a private guide can come in handy.  With a private guide, it is you and your guide, you are your own independent part party.  We do see increased success on privately guided tips.
