Wasatch Range Routes Overview Most Practical Multi-Pitch Solution TM most practical multi-pitch solution v1.0 Wasatch Range Routes Overview Can be busy. Prepare for alternatives. Well protected or easy for the grade. Spicy for the grade. The Answer 5.8 (Question Mark Wall, Lone Peak Cirque) The Answer is a slightly more sustained variation to the Lowe Route. Great choice if you feel like clipping bolts and want a break from crack climbing, or if The Lowe Route is busy. (Included on Lowe Route GearLoopTopo) 4 pitches 15 min from Cirque 2-4 hours Afternoon until sunset Arm and Hammer 5.11c (5.10a A0) (Middle Bell Tower, Bells Canyon) This is an amazing route that shouldn’t be missed. The highlight on Arm and Hammer might be the famous “Zion Curtain” pitch, a spectacular thin flake hanging in the middle of a huge slab, but it has a lot more to offer than just that. 7 pitches 1-2 hours 4-6 hours Sun all day Black Streak 5.10b (Devil’s Castle, Little Cottonwood Canyon) The Black Streak is a classic alpine route that is super fun, mostly bolted, and located in one of the most pristine areas of the Wasatch. Great place to climb when it’s too hot everywhere else. 6 pitches 20-40 minutes 4-6 hours Mostly shade Center Thumb 5.9 (South Summit Wall, Lone Peak Cirque) The Center Thumb route links weaknesses and ascends crack systems shooting straight up the middle of a pillar formation in the heart of the Cirque. It is one of the best 5.9 routes in the Wasatch. 5 pitches 15 min from Cirque 3-4 hours Late morning to sunset Doggystyle 5.10c (Coalpit Buttress, Little Cottonwood Canyon) Doggystyle is a fun new route that was put up in 2005. It’s a varied and enjoyable cruise up mostly well protected slabs, with the occasional flake and crack. (Included on Doggystyle & Sumatra GearLoopTopo) 4 pitches 15-20 minutes 2-3 hours Shade most of the day East Dihedrals 5.6 (Dead Snag Area, Big Cottonwood Canyon) This moderate route follows the long and obvious right facing dihedral that goes almost to the top of the face. Combine with Steort’s Ridge and Jig’s Up for a full day. (Included on Steort’s Ridge GearLoopTopo) 2 pitches 5-10 minutes 1-2 hours Morning sun Eleventh Hour 5.8 (Sundial Peak, Big Cottonwood Canyon) Eleventh Hour is one of the best moderate alpine routes in the Wasatch. It requires a relatively long approach, but offers great climbing in an amazing alpine setting. Expect killer exposure, tricky protection, and cool mountain views. 5 pitches 1½ -2½ hours 3-5 hours Mostly shade (PM sun on W face) Horns of Satan 5.10b (Devil’s Castle, Little Cottonwood Canyon) Horns of Satan is a fun alpine climb located in the heart of Alta ski area. Mostly bolted, great position, and superb exposure on the 7th pitch makes this one a perfect outing on a hot summer day. 8 pitches 20-40 minutes 4-6 hours Mostly shade For more information on classic cimbs in the Wasatch Range and other climbing areas visit www.GearLoopTopo.com For more information on classic climbs in the Wasatch Range and other climbing areas visit www.GearLoopTopo.com Jig’s Up 5.6 (Dead Snag Area, Big Cottonwood Canyon) A great variation after climbing the first pitch of Steort’s Ridge. It mostly follows parallel sided cracks on clean rock. Great alternative if Steort’s Ridge is too busy. (Included on Steort’s Ridge GearLoopTopo) 2 pitches 5-10 minutes 1 hour Morning sun Lowe Route 5.8 (Question Mark Wall, Lone Peak Cirque) The Lowe Route is an ultra classic climb, and a must-do if it’s your first time in the Cirque. It is certainly the best 5.8 in the cirque, and possibly the Wasatch. Superb crack climbing, remarkable exposure and a hard to beat top-out! 4 pitches 15 min from Cirque 2-4 hours Afternoon until sunset The Open Book 5.7 (Summit Wall, Lone Peak Cirque) This is Lone Peak’s easiest route. It follows a long continuous corner and ascends flared cracks that can feel a bit awkward at times. The climb- ing is fun and varied, and remains fairly sustained throughout. 4 pitches 15 min from Cirque 3-5 hours Late morning to sunset Outside Corner 5.7 (JHCOB Wall, Big Cottonwood Canyon) This varied climb has a super quick approach, comfy belays, and a straightforward descent. Very popular, it can feel a little spicy for the grade, with a few committing moves and big exposure for the grade. 4 pitches 5-10 minutes 2-3 hours Morning to afternoon Pentapitch 5.8 (Pentapitch Buttress, Little Cottonwood Canyon) Pentapitch is a Little Cottonwood classic moderate climb featuring mostly thin finger cracks and slabs on perfect, clean rock. The exciting last pitch is not to be missed, with its committing moves and great exposure! 5 pitches 15-20 minutes 2-4 hours Afternoon sun Pika Paradise 5.8 (Question Mark Wall, Lone Peak Cirque) A short quality route located on the far right side of the Question Mark Wall ledge. It offers perfect hand jams in a long, continuous corner. Great alternative if the Lowe Route is busy, if the weather is uncertain, or to round-out your day (Included on Lowe Route GearLoopTopo) 1 pitches 15 min from Cirque 30 minutes Afternoon until sunset Precious Lost 5.10a (Coalpit Buttress, Little Cottonwood Canyon) Precious Lost is a fun new adventurous route featuring several great slab sections, an ever-widening crack pitch, a roof crux, and an exposed finish over wild flakes. (Included on Precious Lost & Sumatra GearLoopTopo) 7 pitches 15-20 minutes 3-5 hours Shade most of the day Schoolroom 5.6 (Gate Buttress, Little Cottonwood Canyon) Schoolroom is a very popular moderate climb with an old-school feel. It’s also a first multi-pitch lead for many aspiring trad climbers. The rock is solid, the pro is mostly good, and the belay ledges are comfortable. 5 pitches 10-15 minutes 2-3 hours Most of the day Schoolroom West 5.7 (Gate Buttress, Little Cottonwood Canyon) Schoolroom West offers even more quality climbing than the standard Schoolroom. This is a great, fun route that offers a more direct and steeper line going straight up the buttress. (Included on Schoolroom GearLoopTopo) 3 pitches 10-15 minutes 1½-2 hours Most of the day S-Crack 5.12a (5.8 C1) (The Thumb, Little Cottonwood Canyon) This LCC old school classic will take you directly up to the Upper Thumb routes. Although it is hard to free completely, it can be done as a 5.8 with a short bit of aid, and contains great chimney, crack and groove sections (Included on S-Crack to S-Direct GearLoopTopo) 4 pitches 20-30 minutes 2-3 hours Most of the day S-Direct 5.9+R (The Thumb, Little Cottonwood Canyon) This route tackles the best slab section on the Upper Thumb. A must-do slab route on excellent rock offering tremendous exposure and posi- tion. (Included on S-Crack to S-Direct GearLoopTopo) 3 pitches 20-30 minutes 1-2 hours Most of the day Second East Face 5.7 (JHCOB Wall, Big Cottonwood Canyon) This is a great little climb for the moderate leader. It has a lot of clean thin hands and finger cracks on perfect quartzite. If you liked the feeling and exposure of the arête pitch on Steort’s Ridge, you’ll love this route. (Included on Outside Corner GearLoopTopo) 3 pitches 5-10 minutes 1½ -2 hours Morning to afternoon 2 For more information on classic climbs in the Wasatch Range and other climbing areas visit www.GearLoopTopo.com Spring Fever 5.10a (The Thumb, Little Cottonwood Canyon) Another great route on the Upper Thumb! While it is a rated a little harder than S-direct, it is better protected and the runout sections are on easy ground. Recently re-bolted too! (Included on S-Crack to S-Direct GearLoopTopo) 3 pitches 20-30 minutes 1-2 hours Most of the day Standard Thumb 5.7 (The Thumb, Little Cottonwood Canyon) The Thumb is the biggest buttress in Little Cottonwood Canyon, and offers many possibilities and variations. This route follows chimney sys- tems and slabs up to an amazing summit block, and is one of the longest routes in the canyon. 9 pitches 20-30 minutes 6-8 hours Most of the day Steort’s Ridge 5.6 (Dead Snag Area, Big Cottonwood Canyon) This is a great area for beginner and low level trad climbers. It is the site of choice if you want to bring someone on their first multi-pitch climb, or if you want to lead your first multi-pitch trad route! 3 pitches 5-10 minutes 1-2 hours Morning sun Stiffler’s Mom 5.11a (Coalpit Buttress, Little Cottonwood Canyon) This neo-classic is one of the best multi-pitch climbs in LCC. Stiffler’s Mom is a superb mix route that requires a wide variety of climbing styles. Expect fun technical slabs, sweet finger and hand cracks, cool arêtes and an exciting pumpy roof. 7 pitches 15-20 minutes 3-5 hours Mostly shade Sumatra 5.10b (Coalpit Buttress, Little Cottonwood Canyon) Sumatra is located just left of Precious Lost and actually shares the same great 1st pitch. It is another fun route that features excellent slab and dike climbing sections. (Included on Doggystyle & Sumatra GearLoopTopo) 4 pitches 15-20 minutes 2-3 hours Shade most of the day Tingey’s Terror 5.7 (Gate Buttress, Little Cottonwood Canyon) A great route with a little bit of everything and many possible variations.

Situated at the borderlands between Austria, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland, the region is saturated with world class climbing. Routes are famous for being exposed and isolated, with large run outs and long walk-ins. After dreaming of tip-toeing up the massive wall of the Kirchlispitzen for the past four years, in summer 2015, with the support of Imperial college Exploration board we finally set off for that soaring limestone face. The Rätikon was everything we hoped for and more. Crazily technical climbing on stunning rock terrified and thrilled us in equal measure. However, heartbreakingly, we never made it to the Kirchlispitzen. Our van had major problems just 500m before reaching the base camp area for the climbs. Unable to go on and unable to leave the van blocking the road we were forced to retreat back down to the valley, and, after much deliberation we fled to the flatland of the Frankenjura forest in Germany, climbing there for the rest of the trip.

  • LECTURE #5 Glacier Travel & Crevasse Rescue Pt
    Basic Rock & Glacier Climbing Course 2018 – Tacoma Mountaineers LECTURE #5 Glacier Travel & Crevasse Rescue Pt. 2 Lecture 5 Topics Glacier Travel Crevasse Rescue What to Expect on Glacier Climbs Field Trip Leader Q & A (Field Trips 5, 6P, 6/7) Assigned Reading (complete prior to Lecture #5) The Freedom of the Hills, 9th edition Glacier Travel & Crevasse Rescue Chapter 18 Mountain Geology Chapter 26 The Cycle of Snow Chapter 27 Basic Rock & Glacier Climbing Course Manual All Lecture #5 Material GLACIER TRAVEL & CREVASSE RESCUE OVERVIEW Glacier travel employs all the techniques used in snow travel with one major addition, navigating crevasses. Crevasses are vertical ice trenches in the snow, which are very hazardous and ready to trap the careless climber. They tend to stay hidden until later in the season when the snow melts and collapses into the crevasse. If the snow coverage is thick and strong you will likely walk right over the crevasse and never know it. Sometimes a visible crevasse will have a snow bridge that you can cross if it’s strong enough, but the real hazard is the crevasse with just a weak thin covering of snow that will not support a climber’s weight. It is not always the lead climber that breaks through, it may be the second or third or even the next rope team. You never know. That’s why you ALWAYS ROPE-UP WHEN TRAVELING ON A GLACIER and keep the rope fully extended. It’s ideal to have three climbers per rope and at least two teams, so if you have to perform a rescue, it is much faster and easier.

  • Mountain Plants of Northeastern Utah
    MOUNTAIN PLANTS OF NORTHEASTERN UTAH Original booklet and drawings by Berniece A. Andersen and Arthur H. Holmgren Revised May 1996 HG 506 FOREWORD In the original printing, the purpose of this manual was to serve as a guide for students, amateur botanists and anyone interested in the wildflowers of a rather limited geographic area. The intent was to depict and describe over 400 common, conspicuous or beautiful species. In this revision we have tried to maintain the intent and integrity of the original. Scientific names have been updated in accordance with changes in taxonomic thought since the time of the first printing. Some changes have been incorporated in order to make the manual more user-friendly for the beginner. The species are now organized primarily by floral color. We hope that these changes serve to enhance the enjoyment and usefulness of this long-popular manual. We would also like to thank Larry A. Rupp, Extension Horticulture Specialist, for critical review of the draft and for the cover photo. Linda Allen, Assistant Curator, Intermountain Herbarium Donna H.

The concept of climbing a rock face, not necessarily reaching the top of the mountain, was a foreign concept that seemed trivial by comparison. However, by the late 1800s, rock climbing began to evolve into its very own sport. There are 3 areas credited as the birthplace of rock climbing: 1.
