My next few events and major outings all have a killer ton of vert in them. I already have some solid base mileage, so why not take advantage of the conditions in the Wasatch and do a bunch peaks. I get the workout I need and I get to summit some of the best mountains around,
Matt and I attempted to tackle the difficult Super Beatout hike - a 20ish mile long ridge with 11 peaks in total, 10 of which are over 11,000 ft elevation. While we were unable to complete the whole traverse as we ran out of time, we did do 7 of the peaks and had a great time in the process. Instead of boring you with words I'll just summarize with a bunch of photos and a video. The pics aren't in any real order of how we traveled, sorry.
