shknbkeEast gully  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Nov 13, 2009

I didn't do any homework on this as the trip was a last minute decision. I was envisioning a short, slickrock scramble but it's a short hike with limited views on mostly steep dirt. Game trails make it pretty easy, one of the easiest summits in Zion.

Date Climbed: Nov 13, 2009

A quick hike up very steep dirt to a treed plateau. Disapointing views compared to many of the other summits in Zion.

My 11 year old son Evan and I reached the summit via the eastern gully and saddle. Still some snow packed in places. Evan found it a fun challenge. The views from the saddle were great. We were stymied in getting to the northern viewpoint however.

Upper cliffs and then the brushy top. Gully had some snow, but that was a dry year.

A couple years ago with a buddy. Our 4th Zion NP peak of the day. Picked up a little poison ivy along the way.

Checkerboard Mesa on April Fools Day. The gully was full of trees and other debris. Good view of the east side of Zion.

Bob SihlerEast-side Route  Sucess!
Date Climbed: Mar 24, 2008

Would have been nice to have had an ice axe, but the snow was frequently suitable for climbing and preferable to the bushwhacking.
