2019 was a great year for adventuring. My favorite memories from 2019 include: climbing up Mt Whitney up the mountaineering route in the snow in June, climbing granite peak in Montana up a snow chute in August, climbing Bonney Pass in the titcomb basin in August, visiting red castle in the Uintas for the first time and climbing Wilson and Powell, and finishing my goal of climbing all the wasatch eleveners.

Always love to visit island lake and introduce the beautiful titcomb basin area to a friend for the first time.
The beautiful view from Fremont peak. On this trip I got to take a friend up to fremont peak for his first time and my third
I’ve wanted to hike clear to the end of the titcomb basin for quite some time and stand on the top of Bonney pass. This is the beautiful view of Gannett peak from Bonney pass

October 2016 I climbed my first wasatch elevener mt Timpanogos. I have been working on climbing all of them and was happy to finish my goal in October of 2019.
My last eleveners included some on the cottonwood ridge, Mt timpanogos ridge, and the Mt nebo ridge.
On the cottonwood ridge I needed sunrise and dromedary. This is a view of sunrise and the broads fork twins from dromedary.
Next I had some unfinished business near mt timpanogos so we did the timp traverse from north timp to south timp. View looking back towards north timp from south timp.
Then last but not least I had to get south and middle nebo. South, middle, and main nebo can all be seen here from the saddle on Andrews ridge.
2019 was a most wonderful year for adventuring. Looking forward to seeing what 2020 brings and more of your inspiring posts and pictures.
