I was thinking about starting a similar thread as my wife and I headed down this weekend as well. We are looking at doing Middle Teton via SW couloir (mostly class 3) and Buck Mountain via the East face (also class 3). I'd offer to meet up but we're not mountaineers and I'm afraid of heights so I have no idea if I'll be able handle this stuff.
I have heard that there is a strong likelihood of encountering snow/ice/verglas above 11 k ft, especially on N and W aspects. There's already been a couple rounds of snow up there. (This is from the Jenny Lake Ranger Station blog, via my wife.)
If any locals want to chime in conditions that would be sweet, forecast is looking iffy for mid-week.
We heard you in our twilight caves, one hundred fathom deep below, for notes of joy can pierce the waves, that drown each sound of war and woe.
