Pretty much any hiker in Utah has at some point, I suspect, thought about a north-south hike down the spine of the Wasatch. I've probably got about three different half-finished versions of such a route laying around in my Caltopo account.

Well, somebody's actually done it recently - Snorkel. Her trip report is here. Looks like she did it in the early fall, which would be a prime time. The Wellsvilles were apparently a pretty brutal start to her trip. http://www.eathomas.com/2015/09/24/wasatchoverview/

Does anybody know of anybody else doing anything like this?
 
I've recently looked at the WURL, but didn't know of piecing together a Wasatch traverse. Love the idea, thanks for sharing

Well, you're akin to Superman so that's totally achievable. :) For me, the WURL would be fun in a couple of (hard) hiking days. One-day attempts and running through the night? No thank you!

I'm not anywhere near attempting something like the WURL, just found out about it!
 
Something I'd pondered in my younger years; I'm glad to see someone pulled it off. Excellent Job! Thanks for sharing the report @LarryBoy .
