"It’s going to be a like a StairMaster workout from hell." - Darren Knezek
And he was right. With over 5,300 ft of elevation gain it certainly got the legs burning. We went Crowd Ridge in Spanish Fork Peak. This was Kt and I first winter mountaineering trip. Nothing technical. We used snowshoes the whole way. The weather became significantly worse as we approached the top. With wind gust of over 50 mph it was almost enough to knock us on our butts at times.
At the top John Judd lead us the rest of the way to the summit from the false summit. We started up at 1:00 am and finished as the sun went down. Roughly 18 hours of mountaineering, one false summit, one true summit and white out conditions. It was "exciting." Special thanks to Jenn Knezek for all the pictures.
