Liz and I made our 2008 goals on Sunday; I don’t know if we’re going to get to travel much this year, and since we are so freaking close to the mountains one of my goals is to climb all eighteen of the peaks that are above 11,000 feet in the wasatch range;
I’m pretty out of shape but I think I can do it, i just need to get in the zone! tenacious! Some of them are close in proximity and you could probably do like 4 or more at a time maybe if you hiked up and then camped for a day and just nailed them all.
There’s actually like 30 but like 4 of them are on Nebo, 3 on timpanogos, etc. so those would be done all at once. Here’s a list of all of them:
- North Mount Nebo
- South Mount Nebo
- Middle Mount Nebo
- North Peak(nebo)
- Mount Timpanogos
- “South” Timpanogos
- “North” Timpanogos
- West American Fork Twin Peak
- “South” American Fork Twin Peak
- Unnamed 11,383
- Unnamed 11,347
- Unnamed 11,288
- East Broads Fork Twin Peak
- West Broads Fork Twin Peak
- Pfeifferhorn
- White Baldy
- Red Baldy
- Red Top Mountain
- Sunrise Peak
- Lone Peak
- South Thunder
- North Thunder
- Unnamed 11,137
- Monte Cristo Peak
- Dromedary Peak
- Box Elder Peak
- Mount Baldy
- Provo Peak
- “East” Provo Peak
- Sugarloaf Mountain
- Mount Superior
- “East” American Fork Twin Peak
I think i’ll probably start with Timpanogos, Provo Peak, Nebo’s peaks, and Box Elder Peak in the earlier season…maybe April or May, I guess it depends on the snowpack. I figure about 2 a month through the summer and then I’ll do a longer one, maybe get all the little-cottonwood canyon ones done in a 3-4 day weekend or something.
I’ve done timpanogos before with daisy’s cousin that i dated, it wasn’t that hard but i was in really good shape; i also did lone peak and i remember it was rough(ask supergreg about his knee).
hopefully i can do it!
