Best solos in Wasatch range
|
Just what it sounds like. What are the best easy\moderate solos in Northern Utah? I've got Geurt's Ridge and the Cottonwood Traverse on my summer list and I've heard about a traverse of Timp. I'm interested in long, preferably alpine routes. |

I always enjoy Guert's. Consider the north ridge of the Pfeif... although there are some REALLY loose sections, but the setting is incredible. Thunderbolt Ridge in Hogum is pretty fantastic- but mostly due to the wilderness setting. Timp traverse doesn't have much (if any) technical rock, but it's an incredibly aesthetic route and a fine day in the mountains. |

Awesome suggestions from everyone. I want to hit the Cottonwood Traverse first and prep for the full WURL. Any beta on the best place to start? I've heard different things from different people. |

Campbell was the first to get it done - he started in Ferguson. I think previous attempts by Twight started in Def Smith (sp?). PT |
