The entire Himalayas grow ~1cm/year.  Indian plate just keeps pounding away into the underside of the Eurasia plate at a neverending pace.

Tetons grow faster than that I believe.

They actually grow and recede, as the underside of the tectonic collision melts away as it's shoved into the mantle. At least that's what I was told in Mountain Geoecology at UT 15 years ago.
