I decided just tonight that it is time for me to summit [[Mt. Nebo]]. It has alway s been on my list of local hikes and now is the best time. I also don't yet know which route to take, but I do know it will be either the North or South (this plan can change and Im open to suggestions). I have never climbed and would love for someone that knows the route to come. I would like to have anyone come if they feel up to the challenge. My plan prototype is to leave Davis county around 4:00 am and arrive at the trailhead at +-6:00 am. I am bringing the usual snow climbing equipment:

Ice axe
Crampons
Gaiters
Possibility of snowshoes
Gloves

Plus, a day pack with plenty of food and water. The conditions are stable enough to not use ropes, hence why I think it is a great time to hike: snow is easy to hike on, but even better without the extra weight. Of course, if you want to bring such things, be my guest. It is always better to be safe. Im stupid at times. The weather forcast also looks pleasing. Please contact me so arrangements can be made. If nobody wants to come, it won't hurt my feelings.
