The National Park Service says the accident occurred around 11 am Saturday on the 12,300-foot (3,750-m) Teewinot Mountain, the sixth-tallest peak in the Teton Range.
The agency identified the victims as 27-year-old Tyler Strandberg and 28-year-old Catherine Nix, both of Jackson, Wyoming. Their bodies were recovered from a rocky ledge at an elevation of about 11,500 feet (3,450 meters).
A third member of the climbing party, 26-year-old Rebecca Anderson, of Jackson, was rescued unhurt from a small ledge. The three women were attempting to ascend the East Face of the mountain and were well off the preferred route when the two fell.
