YikesAnother kind of fun just getting to the mountains. I about slid off Skyline drive in Utah this past summer when I hit a tilted road that was slick with mud. I still have nightmares over that close call. BTW, is that a rental?

Re: YikesHi Dean,
glad to hear you did not slide too far! Had some similar situations a few times as well...all part of the "fun" I guess :)
"BTW, is that a rental? "
...shhhhhhhh ;)
Thanks for stopping by Dean.

I like how the back tires are almost in the air.Wow, amazing how that Utah air makes your Toyota truck look like a Dodge Neon. Nice "SUV".

Yeah, it was a fun little project involving a jack, some rocks, and plenty of profanity.

Re: I like how the back tires are almost in the air.Cool pics on the bolt ladder on top of SRG. Did not know those are there. How is the scramble to the top? Something a newbie would enjoy (thinking about taking my girlfriend out there sometime).

Re: I like how the back tires are almost in the air.Thanks Brian.
The scramble to the base of the West Smith summit ladder is a hike (nice one too as far as Smith). The info. on the ladder cometh from Ryan L. The route itself is about 20?? feet of 4th-low 5th to reach the ladder (you can't really see it as the bolts are painted over to match rock color). The ladder itself is straightforward & short. It's a bit more overhanging than Pioneer Route (maybe??) and you either need to bust a free move just below summit (chunk, chunky rock!) to reach the last (?) bolt or put in a nut for one more aid move. Think your GF would enjoy it - just show her how to backaid and not jummar. Fun position & fun outing!
