Ascent of Deseret Peak on 2010-06-20| Date: | Sunday, June 20, 2010 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Peak: | Deseret Peak | | Location: | USA-Utah | | Elevation: | 11031 ft / 3362 m |
Ascent Trip ReportHiked to the cirque via Dry Fork on June 19th. Set up camp and then climbed the east Twin Couloir to the summit on June 20th. It was cold the night before so snow conditions in the couloir were perfect for ice ax and crampons. Then descended and headed back to the parked car at the Medina Flats Trailhead. Due to recent flooding, the South Willow canyon road is closed at the Medina Flats trailhead. This adds a little under six miles roundtrip to any summit attempt
