Coal PitBrutal

What a day.7 hours and over 6000 vert of hikingtook its toll on Aaron Ward, Jason Prigge, me today. We got an early start, but it was after noon before we got to the top of coal pit gulch. Before gaining the ridge, we verted up a couple G’s, the last part of which was steeper then 52 degrees! Once on the ridge the going got easier, but we missed a traverse and ended having to ski down a bit and hike again…ouch. The views were spectacular, Lone Peak looks to be the gnarliest zone in the Wasatch. The ski down was epic: warm weather, nice creamy snow, and over 5000 vert to the road. A run like that, after a hike like that…I was ready for some Lone Starand a nap. Another sick day in the Wasatch!
