| madsjim | Route: Sawtooth Canyon  Date Climbed: Feb 17, 2007 | |
| Madjohnbo and I summited on a beautiful February day. With little snow this year we had a fairly easy time except in some waist-deep snow drifts in the Bristlecone pines before the cliff. It was awesome and I will definetly be back. | |

| You WILL NOT lean out over this cliff to get a good view of the bottom. I guarantee it. Climbed with MOCKBA (or rather tried to keep up or at least not too far behind.) This was the Sunday follow-up to our Saturday ascent of the Deep Creek summits. The Bristle Cone Pines were a treat. | |

| Climbed this with Scott Towsey. We had the peak entirely to ourselves. Awesome north face on this mountain! | |

| For some reason turned north at a fork in the canyon and bushwacked up to a saddle beneath the peak - a decision that on the climb down by the correct route looked obviously wrong. The drop off at the top was horrifying. | |

| Found the trailhead, but am not sure I was ever actually on route from there. A mile from the car, I never saw anything resembling a trail (or even a use trail, for that matter) until the last 15 minutes to the summit. The summit views were awesome. The summit cairn was a work of art - cool. | |

| Beautiful hike up the south route. Cool canyon -- even in July -- and a better view than the Grand Canyon. Descended the northern route. Hard -- see my comments on route info and the topo map. It took a leisurely 2.5 hours to reach the top and a fairly grueling 3.5 hours to get down. Go south, young man. | ||

| Nearly died on the scramble to the peak - not for computer geeks! Fantastic view, though, and really a nice hike through the canyon. The drop-off at the peak is absolutely stunning. | |

| Sawtooth Canyon (June 19, 1999) - Great mountain. My favorite part is the huge cliff that drops from the summit for 4,000+ feet - amazing! Read in the register that its a favorite place for hang gliders to jump off. I don't think I'll be doing that anytime soon. West Sawtooth Canyon (April 30, 2006) - This is a nice hike. It was even more impressive to see the huge northwest face of Notch Peak from the base of the mountain than from the summit. | |

| An absolutely awesome desert peak. The "notch" has to be seen to be believed. Next time, the northwest arete! Ha! | |

| Long drive from SLC but a great, remote hike with staggering scenery! Pictures don't do this peak and it's cliffs justice. | |
