When I did it earlier this summer it took a little more than 10hrs. We went up the North Ridge and descended the standard route. I'm guessing you could be a little faster if you are in good marathon...

I'm not much of a huntsman, but I'll admit I'm jealous! Sounds like a lot of fun - unfortunately I'm far too young for the good old days.

It is sad that offroaders and hikers have such a hard time...

Awesome! I hope to make it out there at some point

I am planning on making a trip to Great Basin Nat'l Park to hike Wheeler Pk next week. I would also like to take a look at the Lehman Caves while I'm there. I can drive from SLC if anyone is...

Yes! Tons of amazing yellow flowers! Very beautiful!

It was a great first UT peak for me. I'm looking forward to some more Wasatch peaks! I am quickly learning that SLC has a world-class...

Interesting... in theory CSU is supposed to be an 'easy' first game for CU every year, but because the rivalry is so heated when CU loses it looks pretty bad for them.

The BCS is a pretty crazy...

Curious, (Colorado State graduate here) is there pressure for the University of Utah to form a rivalry with University of Colorado? Both new teams to the conference, geographical proximity, etc. Or...

A bit late, but here is the TR as promised!

August 11: Woke up around 6 and put my stuff in my car and headed for Grand Junction at 7:15 to meet Dad and Ben. Traffic on I-15 wasn’t too...

Nice pictures! I climbed this in 2008 with a couple friends in late june when the basin was still full of snow. We had to start much lower than normal and we got pretty off route and ended up making...

I ended up going with the Broads Twins, ascending the North Ridge and descending the standard route on the Southeast Ridge. The North Ridge was cool, much better scrambling than the standard route....

Thanks for the input guys, I'm pretty comfortable with scrambling and exposure (I've climbed more than half of the 14ers in CO), but I'm going with a buddy of mine who is fairly unproven so I might...

Do any of you out there have a favorite 11er in the Wasatch? I'm hoping to hike one of them later this week, preferably with some good class 3 scrambling.

I was thinking of the traverse between...

If you can't find a good place to buy freeze dried veggies from you could consider buying a dehydrator and making some yourself. One of the guys I live with has made me some beef jerky with his and...

By the way, how did that shell get all the way up there? I found it near the meadow, I don't think I've ever seen a snail that big anywhere in Colorado!

P.S. How do I upload...

Ya, I'll get some up in a few. First I need to set up a flickr account though.

Hiked up past the meadow today hoping make it to the Mill B Pass, but there were too many large snow patches and I couldn't find the trail so I ended up turning around about 1/2 mile after the...

Sorry I didn't see this until now, but yes, the lakes are basically 95% clear of ice. Probably 100% by now.

Thanks guys. Cottonwood Heights seems pretty awesome so far. You would have to be quite wealthy in Colorado to live this close to a ski resort!

ibenick: Your website is amazing. It looks like...

Just graduated from Colorado State University in Fort Collins for my first job as an engineer at IM Flash Technologies.

I've hiked/climbed about half of the 14ers in Colorado and I've spent some...

The trail was clear until the last quarter mile or so when I hiked it today. From that point on the snow is interspersed, but it is pretty easy to get to the lakes.
