This will be great, considering I want to hit all the high points this year.

[accadacca]

Great idea! It will be cool to see more users and their reports added to the list. :popcorn: :five:

I plan to start scanning my photos from my trips back in 2001 and writing up some TR's

Hey James,
I did winter ascents of Brian Head Peak numerous times in 84 & 85 took many trips down the chutes. We did avalanche control and training on the peak each winter. Great skiing off the Head.

Nice work, James. :nod: It's good to have those "blank" spots, to see who gets there first.

I'll tell you what, I've got to go through some drastic physical changes this year if I'm going to make that trip again.

Here's something you could add. Tell us if a peak is also the highest in a mountain range. For example: Kings Peak, Uintah Mountains; Mt. Nebo, Wasatch Mountains; etc.... That would put an extra big bullseye on them.

Nice work on this James! :2thumbs:

Since I'm moving to Monticello next week, look for me to be the first to bag Mount Waas, and Mount Peale. :2thumbs:

I did Ibapah last year. What an awesome hike. It was quit long from the east side but we had a blast. What a view. That's my only high point. I'd love to do more this summer. I have a problem finding people to go with. I was thinking I like to do Nebo and Deseret Peaks this summer. Maybe AF twins too.
