| Jwp2025 | West Peak via Slide Date Climbed: Apr 28, 2012 | |
| Both times I attempted to climb both summits I found myself at the west peak with the sun already down and a urgent need to get back down. I am planning a slide canyon to peaks to rock canyon hike one of these days. | ||

| Climbed this many times while a student at the Y between 2002 and 2006. Good way to escape the zoo for a few hours. | |

| runbyu1 | Run/Snowshoe Fun Date Climbed: Feb 15, 2010 | |
| Ran up with Danny Moody to Bear Flat. The snow got deep enough at that point we put our snowshoes on and hacked it the rest of the way up to the Summit. Saw Stan Ricks on the way up. Took some pics on top with the Flag on top of that tree---how on earth did that get there? Anyone? Had a blast crashing down the mountain in the snow. | |

| kteichert | Great start to a day Date Climbed: Oct 14, 2010 | |
| Started at 7:15, expecting to be done by 1. Finished at 10:15. Much shorter than I expected, but the views of Utah Valley are incredible from the West Summit. Views of Cascade are amazing from East Summit. Beautiful sunny day and lots of fall colors. Awesome little hike. | |

| WaterGuy | Standard Route Date Climbed: Aug 7, 2010 | |
| Going up to the Y is not the best hike but after that it was pretty nice. There was a big black blob on the Y when looking up from the trail head. Going up I discovered that the entire BYU football team was up there for a photo op. | |

| The view from the top of Y Mountain is my favorite of any of the Provo foothills. It's beautiful! | |

| builttospill | Standard route | |
| I've hiked around on Y Mountain a couple of times and went to the summit once by continuing above the Y and south. It's not that great of a mountain, but its a good workout and nice enough in the winter. | |

| ericwillhite | Nice place Date Climbed: Dec 27, 2008 | |
| Snowshoing near the summit actually had a backcountry feel to it. Nice summit, then went over and did Maple Peak. Pictures and map of my route at http://www.willhiteweb.com/provo_hiking/y_mountain_269.htm | |

| warriorpoet | Slide Canyon Date Climbed: Sep 19, 2008 | |
| This was actually my second time. The first was in late winter 2008. My first attempt was with Vanman in Oct 07, but technical difficulties with another member of our party prevented my from accompanying him to the summit. | |

| aprovance | Slide Canyon Date Climbed: Jul 6, 2009 | |
| Just like everyone else, I've hoofed it up to the Y on several occasions, but never any farther. As expected the hike to the Y felt more like a death march, however, once past the Y and in Slide Canyon, it was much more enjoyable. There are some great rock formations along the way. Once I found the aspens with the Y Mountain arrow carved into the trunk, and made my way to the meadow is where I first encountered stinging nettle along the trail, and throughout the meadow. It was everywhere. I first took the trail up to the west summit, then went up to the east summit. I couldn't find a trail to lead up there, but route finding to the top of the east summit was fun and easy. Once at the top the view was great, I actually prefer the views of the east summit. I didn't see anyone once I passed the Y. | |

| spengy | Fun Little Hike Date Climbed: May 28, 2008 | |
| On a whim, I decided to go hiking instead of doing my calculus homework. I've been around in Slide Canyon before, but never bothered to go to the top of Y Mountain. I figured Y mountain was as good a goal as any for a 6:30 PM hike. I started at about 6:30 PM - it took me 1.5 hours to get up and probably another hour to get down. My least favorite part of hiking into slide canyon is the hike to the Y. Terrible. All you have to look forward to is some white-washed concrete. It's steep and exposed, to boot. I only met one guy on the trail once I got past the Y. Had the (west) summit to myself - beautiful sunset. I didn't hit up the east summit because it was getting dark and I did not have a light. | |

| kwag | finals week fun Date Climbed: Apr 22, 2008 | |
| We hiked up to the west summit. There was still considerable snow. We started at about 1 and got back at 5. The late start meant slushy snow from bear flat until the top. Great views of the surrounding snow covered areas. Fun half day hike. | |

| buffgato | Slide Canyon Date Climbed: May 28, 2007 | |
| I've probably hiked the Y close to a dozen times, but I've only been to the top once thus far. My roommate and I made this our Memorial Day adventure, taking the Slide Canyon trail up with the other mobs of people hiking that day. It was a nice morning hike, but we had to share the summit with something like 30 other people. A bit crowded, to say the least. | |
