This was my first time on this hike. I went up with Lori's brother and some people in a hiking group. It was awesome company and an awesome view from the summit. The snow we got at the top was beautiful.
oct, 13 2003 was the first time I did this hike, since then I've climbed the west slabs numerous times and hiked up this trail many, many times. It's always a good time and the view of the valley from the top is extraordinary. salud!
I climbed Mt Olympus with Joe and Shelley to celebrate New Years this year. I sat whimpering at the ice crux just long enough (plus my leg cramp) to miss the last ascent of the year, but I got the first of 2009 at 5 minutes past! I enjoyed watching a half-dozen firework shows in the valley, and then I spent the night on top - which I highly recommend to anyone who loves winter climbing in the Wasatch.
