Wyoming, Grand Teton National Park, Symmetry Spire. On August 2, Barbara Tihen (23), Frank Gutmann, and Jerry Halpern were just completing an ascent of Symmetry Spire when Miss Tihen slipped on a rock causing her to fall about 2 ft. She fractured her left tibia and chipped another bone in the ankle. The other two members of the climbing party were able to assist Miss Tihen down without additional aid.
