Re: 6,500' in 6 hrs!Thanks, but most of the way it's just your standard snowshoe. It's just the last quarter mile that's tough. What's impressive is Joe and MOCKBA doing virtually all of the trail breaking and the rest of us struggling to keep up.

Re: 6,500' in 6 hrs!What's really impressive is that Dmitry accomplished his share of the trail breaking with a significant hangover.

Re: 6,500' in 6 hrs!It isn't "with" Joe, it's "to ward off" the night's lingering shadow, Joe :) Aerobic activity as a magic cure.
I was more impressed by your twin Olympus climbs bracketing our Lone Peak outing, day before and day after. Not bad at all! Do you do all these weekday climbs on the mornings before work?

Re: 6,500' in 6 hrs!Aerobic activity is one of the last things on my mind after I've had a few too many. I should probably give it a try though...
I had a lot of vacation time in December, so I was able to get up Olympus quite often. Now its back to the regular grind for a while. Occasionally I still manage to go up after work on Thursdays, but its pretty hard to get motivated for a hike after a 10-hour work day.

Re: 6,500' in 6 hrs!Whew, it makes me feel better about myself :) I'm barely managing to run a few miles with the pooches on most weekdays, and the thought that I might, just might have left home before the crack of dawn instead, bagged a peak, showered & gone to work ... this isn't a comforting thought :)

Wasatch challenge.Good way to duplicate alpine conditions in the Wasatch. Climb them in winter.

Re: Wasatch challenge.I think Lone Peak is a challenge any time of the year.

With Zeejay, near perfection is the rule...What some folks fail to recognize is the position you had to be in to take that shot. In addition, the one I took a minute later (or less) had you in that gnarly ascent. So kudos to you for both efforts.

BreatheWith such a photo I can breathe, breathe, breathe.
I enjoyed many such summit ridges. The peril makes it all the greater the experience.

Re: BreatheI breathe a lot easier when I get down from a ridge like that :)

Re: What they said!Thank you! It's such a joy to live in the Salt Lake City area where there are climbs such as this starting right at the edge of the city.

Re: Great shotThanks! I was just up there again 4 days ago and this year there was not enough snow to go over the rock that the climbers in the picture are on. So this year we climbed down around it to the left to a snow ledge that went under the rock's overhang. There wasn't even enough room to crawl on our knees, we had to slither on our bellies.
