Summited on a beautiful Saturday afternoon from the North Ridge. Saw only a few other groups. Great hike that is not so hard.

South Summit via Andrew's Ridge
A beautiful day for an amazing hike. We made it to the summit in 4.5 hours (at a very leisurely pace). Our descent to the trailhead took about 2.5 hours. This is a challenging route with plenty of scenery to enjoy along the way.

Monument Trailhead
Oct 15, 2022- With Peter, PJ & Brooke. 3 hours 40 mins up, forgot to time the descent. Monument Trailhead
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sept 9, 2016 - with KLAS, Monument Trailhead. 3 hours up and
2 hours down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
May 8, 2010 - Went up pole canyon with the UCC on May 8, 2010. We got about 19 people to the peak.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nov. 1, 2008 - Climbed to the North Peak via the North Route (2.75 hours), then traversed to the Middle Peak (45 minutes), then continued over to the South Peak (1.5 hours). Descended via Andrews Ridge to to the Nebo Bench trail and followed that back to the Mona Pole road (Monument Trailhead). Overall covered almost 18 miles and approximately 4000 vertical feet (going from peak to peak to peak one has to lose and regain about 500 feet of elevation). Round trip with food and picture breaks included took about 9.5 hours. See the video.

Spring is Here!
and it brought out the ATV's in Mona Pole Canyon. We didn't don snowshoes until well into Jone's Canyon, well above its intersection with the Mona Pole Road. We got 6,300 vertical feet and sunburned. Great day!

October ascent
09/10 North route, north summit. Great hike and views from the top. Pretty crowded for Nebo.
10/07 Took the south route to south summit. Loved every minute of it even after tweaking my knee on the way down. Had the mountain to myself, didn't see another soul on my way up or down. To me, that's perfect and I really connected to Nebo.

Winter Route via Mona
I signed up to go with BYU Outdoors Unlimited, because some friends wanted do it that way so they could rent the gear, and I don't have a lot of winter climbing experience yet. At about 9,000 ft. one of our guides was feeling queezy, and the other guide decided to go back down with him. At a little over 10,000 ft. A diabetic guy got sick, and so we all went back down with the remaining guide. basically it was a waste of money, because I already have all my own gear. Lesson learned: take a level 1 avalanche course, get your own equipment, and don't waste money on professional guides.
"Professional" guides? You use the term very loosely, yes? :)

My big sister and I made it to the top of North Nebo. Honor to climb the highest peak in the Wasatch. Great time and a tough short climb.

More than meets the eye.
We had picked the Andrews Ridge (South) route. All of a sudden, this big rainstorm comes from seemingly NOWHERE. We were stranded
inside our vehicle overnight. The morning dawned clear, and the
summit was reached in short order. The weather can change rapidly,
on this very prominent Utah land form and towering summit pyramid.

North Peak and Mt. Nebo
Climbed North Peak first and then onto North Nebo. About 6 inches of fresh snow made for some extra fun. From the North Peak Trailhead it was about 2:55 to the top of North Nebo.

August Hike
Great directions from the SummitPost page and assistance from Dan Ransom's report (linked on this page) made this easy to plan. At this time there's no snow and the trail is well marked. The Nebo Scenic Byway is incredible, too, and makes for a great drive to the TH.
Started from Monument Trailhead--hiked via the Nebo Bench Trail--and then bushwacked up to Wolf Pass--then on to the summit. We hiked down via the North Trail. Great Hike! Very few people when compared to Mt. Timpanogos!

Various routes including the entire ridge run.
Left the Mona Pole (Monument TH area)dirt parking area at 7:30 and arrived at Andrews Ridge TH at 3:30. In between, lots of wonderful ridge scrambling including over North Peak. Taking the ridges wherever possible is the best route entirely. 3+12 to the north Nebo summit, 1+10 to the south Nebo summit. Great group of John, Lana, Anne, Judy, Dave and myself. Big wildfire at the southern junction of Nebo Scenic Loop and Highway 132 closed the southern exit, but we had planned to exit to the north, so it worked out fine! This was my 4th time at the north summit of Nebo. Fifth time was the entire Nebo ridge from the Andrews Ridge TH to the Monument TH including the ridge between the south and north summits. Total time for this 12-mile batch of fun was 8 hours. With Brent and Lana. 6th time today (June 19, 2008) from the Monument TH. 3+45 to the north summit with crampons necessary ascending to the North Peak ridge. 7+00 exactly for r/t. Nice glissading. Thanks to Tracy, Anne & Lana for their helpful contributions. #7 8-26-08 as part of the ridge run from south to north - again. Eight hours less 2 minutes. Thanks to Dave, Brent & Lana. #8 6-16-12 via Monument TH 3+24 up. Bluebird day. #9 7-19-14 WMC ridge run south to north plus North Peak. 8+20 IVD. #10 8-29-15 Mit Yz und Hunden. 3+40 up. Via Mona Pole TH. #11 07-24-2020 W/ Lana. Monument/Mona Pole TH, 3+32 up. #12 07-09-21 W/Lana. Monument TH 4+04 up. #13 09-02-22 W/Lana. Monument TH. 4+02 up. 7+50 total time. #14 08-05-23 W/Lana.

Very scenic and not very demanding hike. Probably a Wasatch classic. Not as good as Lone Peak or Timp, but excellent nonetheless.

Still snow in June
Still a snow cap on the immediate top that you need to traverse around. The snow is so soft that if you begin to fall, it is very difficult to self arrest with an axe. I turned around due to time restraints (after one scary slide), but within a few weeks Nebo should be clear of snow.
