TR - Lone Peak via Jacobs Ladder
Took last Friday (July 20th) off to dash up Lone Peak with a friend of mine. I had never attempted the peak before. We did a modified version of the Jacobs Ladder trail, hiking up the jeep "trail" to Movie Rock, then connecting to the Jacobs Ladder trail proper. I made the summit. That cirque is just breathtakingly beautiful. But, my goodness, what a bitch of a climb to get there! We started at 6:15AM and thus evaded the heat until the way down. The way down was a scorcher. The bottom of the hike is a lot of work, and the landscape is thrashed by jeep and motorcycle abuse.
I'd rate is as the toughest Wasatch hike I've done, just above Broads Fork Twins. It took us 10.5 hours total. Wow. That summit is awesome. The dropoffs are heart stopping.
