Utah the first entry

prigg – October 17, 2006 – 2:49pm

I'll be adding planning stages to this soon. 

 Jen and I are planning on 3 mountains in Utah over Thanksgiving break.  Jen's grandmother is having her 190th birthday.  Or something like that.

 I couldn't pass up the chance to run up a couple peaks. 

 1st on our tick list is Mt. Olympus.  It will be good to be home.  ;-)  We will do a 5.5 route with an old mountaineering friend.  Kate Schmidt and her husband now lives in Salt Lake. 

2nd will be the Phifferhorn.  It's also known as the "little matterhorn."  We may do a 5.7 route up that.

 The last mountain is a route that I want to do solo.  It's called the "Everest Ridge" because it was used by the Omimax group to train for the 96' Everest film. 

 I'll start posting route info, pics and strategy soon.
