Wasatch Winter Routes

[rock-ice]

Hey all,

 

I don't ski, and ice climbing is only an acceptable substitute for alpine climbing some of the time. Can any of you make recommendations for alpine routes in the Wasatch?

 

I have done quite a few routes in the area but am always looking for something new.

 

Thanks!

just did the s.ridge of superior solo 3000' up to 5.6 fun

n ridge of the pfierhorn

robert's horn w.f. (not in)

olympus w.face and n.chimney mixed

storm mountain n.f. mixed

 

basically any long climb covered in snow

 

and then all the ice in the utah ice guide

Thanks, Layton. I'm the guy who bought your old Ice Sac. The one with the hippie flag on it.

 

Is there any sort of cc.com equivalent here? While the ice here is more easily accessed in the winter, I have a pretty poor opinion of the alpine climbing here compared to the cascades.

whoah! that was a long time ago!

 

Mountainproject is the closest thing and it's compised of a lot less, but even more opinionated folks.

 

Alpine climbing here is non-existant, but the tetons, winds, desert towers, black canyon, sierras, and rockies are all 3-8 hours away.
