Hi,

I am trying to decide which one-day hike is best (based on uniquesness and nice pics) for my visit to the Zion area (yup, I am doing the other cool stuff like the Narrows, etc, etc):

(1) Buckskin Gulch. I would hike it from the Wire Pass trailhead and probably make it up to the Middle trail and back (not sure I can do it all the way to the Confluence and back in ...

Anyone know what the high point for the Onaqui Mts (just to the south of the Stansbury range)? I don't see any Bench Marks listed on the few topo maps I've looked at. Does it have an unofficial name or a summit post page?

Thanks.

Looking for info on moderate (5.6-5.9), multi-pitch routes in Escalante/Grand Staircase National Monument. So far, Broken Bow Arch is the only thing I've been able to find that seems worth doing. Looking to spend a week or more in the area some time in late April/early May.

Greetings,

My friends and I will be in southern Utah mid April and I am looking to plan a top down hike of the West Rim Trail (Lava Point to the Grotto).

I'm eager to get out and climbing the ICE in Utah this winter (2012/13), and I'm in need of one or more regular partners. I work the normal M-F, but will be free most weekends to ice climb. Please PM me if you are interested.

This Saturday (Dec 8, 2012), I plan to climb the Dirtcicle in Spanish Fork Canyon as it's the only thing I'm aware of that is "in" at the moment. Anyone ...

Here is a short video (and photos) that I patched together after heading west a while ago. Sarah, Dominic, Pete and I climbed Crooked Arrow Spire, the Three Gossips and Dark Angel over 3 days.
