Almost...
Staying at the Cliff for a conference. Had a few hours one afternoon, and thought I'd try to bag this one. Unfortunately I had to turn around right as the scrambling started due to lack of time. Oh well. Maybe next time. I throughly enjoyed the scenery and climb that I was able to complete...
Had a fun day on Mt. Superior/Monte Cristo. Bagged both summits. (Why isn't the register on the true summit?)I think I might have gotten a bit off route though because I ended up having to deal with some pretty intense class 4 stuff that pushed my solo comfort level.

Fun, via Cardiff
Had a blast flying solo. Scrambling was secure and fun but not scary. Tagged Monte Cristo and headed back East all the way to Mt. Wolverine

South ridge
The south ridge is a super-fun scramble and, other than a single move, is no harder than class 3-4. You can probably even work around the crux to one side or the other. Tagged Monte Cristo, then picked my way down the nasty, partly-melted-out bowl SE of Superior. Trip report.

Powder
Most amazing powder day. Splitboarded up the east ridge. Rode down the southeast face. Perfect!

Cardiff Pass
Best thing about this peak is the summit view towards the Pfeifferhorn. With a little bit of a zoom you can take a picture that reveals the entire winding trail. A neat little view. Also some nice views toward Lake Blanche, revealing a cute little hanging lake over Blanche which would make a fine spot to camp.

Suicide chute - south ridge
Nice climb in good weather over suicide chute and south ridge to the top.
My wife and I topped out Superior, and Monte Cristo with the Wasatch Mountain Club. Fast pace, and only got about five minutes on either summit as we were concerned by large cumulonimbus clouds to the south. The class 3 was a riot! Go Utes!

Awesome!
Great hike! Not to long, but steep, scrambly, challenging, and incredible! Awesome views, and if you go during Oktoberfest, you can hear the music/yodeling from up there. :)

This was the hardest hike to a peak done yet. my sister bruk and my dad started from alta, up to the pass, then up the rocky ridge to the top of Mt. Superior. We had planned on going further to the other higher peak, though dad said the weather was getting worse and Bruk was getting tired. We did go up and over Cardiff peak with the antenna on the way back to alta.

Re: Quick Round TripAlso saw a lot of mountain goats and followed a group of 4 along the ridge from the summit of superior for a good 5 minutes.
