Via Jacob's Ladder  Sucess!

JL trail is not fun, failed Lone Peak at the north part of the cirque - couldn't find a way and was running out of time, energy, and water

Enniss Peak  Sucess!

Enniss Peak today. Not a very big peak, but AMAZING views. Good training for LONG approaches. STEEP AS HELL! You go up about 1000ft per mile. I felt the best I have in awhile. My legs were the strongest they've been, and I know I would have been able to make the summit of Lone Peak if I had enough time.
Even though this is a relatively small peak, it has some good stats. And a good training ground.
9 miles round trip
4500 ft vertical gain (TH @ 4800 / Summit 9,322 ft)
Max elevation 9,322 ft.

Last Zeit  Sucess!

My last day at work (Zeit Company) was today. I guess I had a lot of emotion built up with leaving this awesome company. So I wanted to get out in the mountains when I got home. Rain clouds were building over the Oquirrhs and I left my car at Hogs Hollow Road around 6:45. Kept pushing towards Enniss despite building clouds and the sun going down. Fantastic little subpeak. Started raining on the way down and the dirt turned to slippery clay. I fell once and caught myself mostly with my hands, a forearm and my right butt cheek. Shortly after that, I ran into a couple who just got engaged. Snapped a photo for them and went on my way.

I have been to the bronze plaque honoring early Utah pioneer Mr. John Enniss at least 20 times.

On the way to Lone Peak  Sucess!

1/3/2016 Lots of snow the entire way made for very slow progress. Had plans on going to Lone Peak but decided to call it at Enniss. With Ben Stokes and Greg Jagielski.
1/26/2013 With the WMC on their annual winter ascent of Lone Peak we made a point to climb up and over Enniss Peak along the way. I would like to say great views, but it was kind of socked in that day.

HOORAY!! SECOND SUMMIT THIS YEAR  Sucess!

I started out to explore the Jacobs Ladder Trail and to take pictures. It was a picture perfect day with a steady cooling breeze and four hours later I found myself on top. It's been a couple of decades since I was last up here.
