Mount Owen, South Chimney. Of the whole southeast face of Mount Owen, directly above the Teton Glacier, there is only one obvious line of weakness, a prominent deep chimney cutting up across the Fryxell route and finally ending in the lower portions of the upper snowfield of the Koven route. This was probably first climbed on August 16, 1949, by P. B. Bynton and C. B. Lucas; it was certainly climbed in August, 1957, by John Lowrie, T. Thomson, and Yvon Chouinard.
