Climbing and descending the West Slabs of Mount Olympus, Utah. This was my 3rd trip up here and I love it each time as it is very unique.
BUT - it is a life-threatening undertaking when climbing AND crossing the snow-filled couloirs. Use my video as a navigation guide and entertainment, but not as an instructional video. You could very well get hurt and worse if you go-in underprepared. This is not just a simple hike/climb you do with regular tennis shoes and that's it. You have been warned!!

The views and the challenge are unmatched in the Salt Lake valley.
