| Rocky Alps | Route Climbed: Cecret Lake Route  Date Climbed: Sep 4, 2006 | |
| This was a very enjoyable hike/scramble and I feel it's by far the best of its length in the Wasatch. It was really short (up and back in 3 hours), but after leaving the crowds at Cecret Lake and getting up to the ridge, the scrambling/climbing was really fun and the rock quality was much better than most other places in the Wasatch range. I only tagged the western summit since my wife didn't want to do any difficult scrambling that day. | |

| Awesome mountain when you only have a few hours to spare. The ridge is a great scramble. It's short, but still lots of fun. It only took 3 hours round trip. If you plan to summit Devil's Castle, take the time to scramble to the second summit and complete the ridge. It's a much better scramble and well worth it. We also watched a team climb the Black Streak (the 5.10b route on the cliff face), it was pretty cool. | |

| East to west. Exposure and challenging scrambling made for a very interesting hike. Mountain goats encountered on the descent. | |

| This is a great peak and a fun climb, but how can people call it Class 5 by the standard route? Have they been on real Class 5 routes, or is the Wasatch idea of Class 5 more liberal than that in other places? (I guess one thing in Utah must be liberal) I would call the climbs to the summit towers Class 3+/4. Stay away if you don't like exposure, though, especially on the ridge above Cecret Lake. | |

| This was fun. Good 4th class scrambling and easier than I thought it would be. I climbed over all of the summits to make sure that I made it to the top. I couldn't tell which one was higher. I think it was the middle summit. | |

| Nice fun scramble. My friend Peter and I were looking for something short yet fun to do, and this scramble was perfect. Good opportunities along the way to try various routes and make the route harder :) I didn't like the loose rock much, though | |

| Woke up Sunday and decided for a short but exciting hike, so off to Devils Castles I went. Had good weather and thanks for the steps cut into the snow\ice on the switchbacks the climb went well. Other than a mountain goat I had the ridge\peak to myself. After passing the helivac retrieving someone off the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon I kept thinking of hand graps while climbing the class V areas. | |

| Awesome climb! Only a half day, yet some of the wildest terrain in all the Wasatch. Traverse really wasn't as scary as I'd expected...still fun, challenging scramble. Descent to east was more tedious and challenging than expected. | |

| I climb this several times each year to practice my Class 4 and low Class 5 moves with exposure. The views are great as well. | |
