Two Times, so far  Sucess!

May 27, 2011 - I did the Triple Traverse with Matt Van Horn and Joseph Bullough. We did a variation in that instead of going down Broads Fork to the S-turn parking lot, we instead went down the saddle between Jeppsons Folly and the Twins, then skirted the North base of Sunrise and then up to the saddle between Dromedary and Sunrise and down into Tanners. Trip took 10 hours. The snow in Tanners was soft, even the avy debris.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
May 16, 2009 - Meet Glen Merrill at 3:45 a.m. and we drove from Orem to the S-turn in BCC where we met Matt Van Horn, Alec, Ammon Hatch, Jason, and Travis Atwood. By 5:20 a.m. we were in LCC in Tanners Gulch on the way to the first of the three peaks. Topped out on Mt. Dromedary at 8:00 a.m. By 8:50 a.m. we were off of Dromedary and starting up Sunrise (O’Sullivan) Peak. By 9:20 a.m. we'd summitted Sunrise Peak. Around 11:00 a.m. we reached the east summit of BF Twins, and thirty minutes later we stood on its west summit. We followed the north ridge down on our descent staying on the ridge to Bonkers. We arrived at the S-Turn in BCC at 2:20 p.m., making the whole triple traverse a nine-hour trip.

and Boards Fork Twin Peaks.

Soloed the Triple  Sucess!

6/5/2013 Dromedary, Sunrise, and Twin Peaks in that order. On a solo mission I gained the saddle between Sunrise and Dromedary, via Broads Fork. From Dromedary I traversed over Sunrise to Twin. I have done Sunrise and Dromedary a number of times from the Twin/ Sunrise saddle but this was my first trip working my way East to West. Thought it was all great except trying to find a good line to down climb the West buttress of Sunrise. I found myself backtracking quite a bit in that short section in order to get down safely. It is much easier to pick out a good line looking up it as oppose to looking down.

Finally  Sucess!

I had been thinking about this route for a couple years now, every time I went up Twin Peaks. I finally made the traverse on a gorgeous day. Kept going across the ridge and dropped down above Lake Blanche.

Epic (in a good way)  Sucess!

Probably the most fun spring climb I've ever done. Started up Tanners @6am with crampon and trekking poles, swapped to ice axes near Dromedary all the way thru BF Twins then after a long glissade from the BF saddle snowshoed till the snow disappeared. Gorgeous views/weather. 9hrs start to finish. Trip planned by Matt Van Horn (thanks Matt)

Couple years back now  Sucess!

We went up on a Monday, got rejected, then saw that some people summitted Wednesday. So Thursday night, me and Scotteech decided to give it a go. Left the car at 3 AM, traversed the tripleness, and hitchhiked from Mill B back up LCC.
