Trip Report - Oct. 2020
This is a very fun traverse of an iconic mountain in the Wasatch range. I enjoyed it because of the extensive downclimbing required in the route (if you traverse all of the North Olympus peaks, which I encourage you to do!).
My group started from the bottom of the West Slabs, and I found it to be a far more rewarding trip than just descending one of the chutes from the top of the West Slabs back down to the bottom.
The Traverse is definitely class 4+, and I certainly benefited from going with someone who had done it before - I could see many of the downclimbs and routefinding to be very, very difficult without a guide. I didn't take many pictures, but hopefully someone can upload more beta.
