Anyone been up there lately?

Wondering how the dreaded Mos Key Toes may be...

Yep....get high and the skeeters won't bug you.

Over 10k and they're still pretty gnarly right now.

Maybe they thin out around 14.6k or so...

over 11k and they don't even exist.

Nearly all the rock climbing venues in the Uintas are under 11k...and...get pretty darn buggy when they're in bloom...

Yeah....the mosquitos are terrible right now. I would avoid climbing in the Uintas until at least early september, just to be safe.

Was up there the past 3 weekends.

I will confirm the buggyness.

it's very buggy.

Yeah, in Utah, we bump into the firmament at around 14k. Just enough room to give some clearance for really tall guys on King's Peak.

How 'bout that Clarence King, eh? Makes sense he had more than one wife at a time...

My advice? Take the usual precautions and expect it to be buggy!
