Wasatch Mountains - Salt Lake City, Utah
Summit Peak 9,026 feet
The hike up and back down took us about 5.5 hours.
The sky was overcast, making pictures difficult. The trail climbs
moderately until the stream crossing, then begins a steep ascent
up "Blister Hill", which in snow becomes "Slippery
Hill"
We met a 78 year old man named George Sormer along the way and
reached the summit together.
On top it was freezing, I had only brought sneakers, and they
were filled with snow. On the way down the summit ridge, it
was very dangerous, steep jagged rock with slippery ice, George
did fine.
On the way down Blister Hill, all of us just slid on our butts
and feet including George, It was quite an experience.
I climbed Mt. O on July 3, 1999. I almost didn't make it. Parts were really steep as I recall. But I'll never forget how it felt, and how it looked, when I finally made it to the ridgeline and realized there really wasn't much more "up". And then I was astonished that the top is simply a boulder field. I don't know what I expected but that wasn't it. And then I pulled out my cell phone and called my mom. I miss hiking the Wasatch.

My cousin, John, and I climbed Mt O. on Oct 23, 2006. I just moved from Texas and Utah is simply heaven!! The climb was spectacular and 3 days later we are still on a "high" from getting to the top. Beautiful pictures.
