Two friends and I did this climb on 4-22-08. We did not, however, climb to the saddle but went up a minor drainage south of the lower Everest Ridge, then angled over into the North Fork couloir. We wore crampons from about 9,300' and reached a point north of the Glacier Saddle 5 hours after leaving the TH. Our trek to the true summit took another 50 minutes but was well worth the effort. This is a fine spring snow climb.
The TH itself has been upgraded: asphalt parking area, toilet and TH signage. From I-15 take the Lindon/1600 North Orem Exit, proceed east and climb gently. As the road begins a gentle turn to the south, look for Skyline Drive and turn north onto Skyline Drive. Continue on Skyline Drive until Dry Canyon Road, a turn to the north again and in a suburb of humongous homes. Follow the paved road to the obvious TH.

Re: Trail descriptionThanks. Any changes you would suggest making the route description? It's been quite a long time since I've been to Timp.
