Wasatch 11-ers
Have any of you done the 'Wasatch 11-ers' in one trip? Sugarloaf peak, Baldy, AF Twin...etc ending on Lone Peak.
I've always wanted to do that traverse.

Also, from your post, it seems like you aren't including any of the peaks between the two Cottonwood Canyons, such as Broads Fork Twins, Sunrise Peak/O'Sullivan, Dromedary Peak, and Monte Christo/Mount Superior?
I have done all of that ridge. On that ridge, the section Mount Superior to Dromedary Peak is the most difficult part.
The ridge you are referring to is sometimes done as one trip and is referred to as the "Super Tour". It is easier when covered in snow (late spring/early summer). The part from Sugarloaf to above Red/White Pine is the Bullion Divide and the ridge between Pfeifferhorn and Lone Peak is the Alpine Ridge (the route up to Red Pine Lake, over the Pfeifferhorn, and down Bells Canyon is known as the Beatout). Either one is a long day in itself, but they are occasionally combined into a single day be fast hikers/climbers. Most people doing the entire ridge though, usually skip North Thunder and Lone Peak itself, before descending down Bells Canyon.
The ridge isn't technical throughout most of its length, but the part to get to Lone Peak from that side is a solid class 4 climb with much exposure.
I have done the entire ridge, but as two trips, not one. I also climbed Lone Peak and North Thunder separately and have not done the ridge between North and South Thunder and east ridge of Lone Peak.Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

I think I've done the entire WURL, but never is one shot, and not even in the same year.
