Everest Ridge: The Best Way to Timp

Timpanogos is one of those mountains we are so blessed to have here in Utah, that we are able to go up many times in the summer. Last year, I summited about 10 times, partly due to my missionary responsibilities, and also because it's a great workout, 14 miles with 4400' vert, that you can squeeze into a day. However, that's the standard Timpanooke Route, not Everest Ridge. Gideon summited Timp last May from Everest Ridge, and was hyping it up, so in typical Let's Zoom fashion, it took all of 10 minutes of a text conversation for a plan to formulate. This snow year has been historically bad, and a March 23rd summit of Timp is usually reserved for the ultra-bold or mountaineers who have years of experience.....not necessarily your average trail-runner/hiker hybrid guy. However, we gave it a shot. It had everything you could ask for in an adventure, as well as a lot of things you never ask for, but sometimes receive as part of the dues you pay to adventure. Enjoy!
