    so who is mollie? what did she look like? and what did she do to get anything that remotely looks like a tit in utah named after her?

    The Land Before Time, far far away.
    Mollie was an beautiful fem. creature. After she's gone. The time, wind and weather formed of her body an beautiful landscape with the Nipple as landmarker. ;-)

    Mollies Nipple is two miles south of Nipple Lake and the head of Kitchen Canyon.
    John G. Kitchen was an early settler, who owned a ranch near the mouth of Kitchen Canyon.
    According to early cowhands, this geological feature was named as a compliment to John G. Kitchen's bride, Molly.

    There are a total of 7 scattered throughout Utah. I'm most familiar with the one up Diamond Fork.

    Thank you for your reply, Sandstone Addiction.
    The link to WIKI is interesting.
    In my source are (from 1990) only 4 descriptions of Utah's 'Nipples'. They are located in Beaver, Kane, Utah and Uintah County.

    Thanks for your reply und your kind words, Dean.
    FYI, I've created this route to the summit (notch) for my own pleasure. Some other routes lead to the summit.
