Sundial Peak

my friend Brian and I climbed Sundial Peak in Big Cottonwood Canyon (one of the canyons right next to salt lake) this week. it has a 3 mile/3,000 vertical feet hike in to a lovely lake- Lake Blanche. then the peak rises out behind the lake. it's true adventure climbing- rated about 5.8, no real map for where to go, no anchors set up, kinda loose rock... we had a great time. it was so nice up there- right in our back yard.

this is why I love living in Salt Lake:
