Millcreek Ridge
Wasatch Mountains - Salt Lake City, Utah
Neffs Ridge is the ridge between Grandeur Peak and Mount Olympus.
It is probably the best place to get a picture of Mount Olympus'
slab walls.
Go towards Millcreek Canyon, take a right on the last street
before the canyon.
Follow this street up and look for a place to reach the ridge.
You'll have to cross private property, I asked an elderly
lady where would be the best place to start up the ridge and
she said I could cut through her yard.
There are many animal trails and open areas for the first
while. Then the bushwhacking begins, I would suggest bringing
some long pants, a long sleeve shirt and some gloves.
On the way down, I hurt my ankle a bit and had to go straight
down the ridge, which meant that I would have to cut through
private property, which I did.
Opinion: If you don't like having people cut through your
property,
don't block off public land.
From the beginning of the ridge looking south over Olympus Cove to Mount
Olympus.

Notice the drop-off from the peak.
A telephoto of "Death Ridge" (my name for it)
This is where I went on a slide and nearly fell off a cliff.
It is the section with snow on the far right in the middle.
The ridge starts on the bottom left.
The West Slabs 5.4 - 5.6
This is an amazing climb, and is also easy enough to do without ropes.
But I wouldn't recommend it to anyone except experienced rock climbers.
