SUMMER courses & climbs:

Mt. Olympus, West Slabs Climb:
Join UMA guides and scale the rocky face you've admired for years that presides over the Salt Lake Valley.

Mt. Superior Classic Alpine Climb:
The prominent South Ridge of this iconic Wasatch peak rises 3,000 feet from near Snowbird Ski Resort, in Little Cottonwood Canyon, to the 11,050’ summit. Outstanding views, fun climbing moves, and an airy feeling make this a classic route in any season. Only a short approach is needed before class 3 & 4 scrambling and/or steep snow climbing begins.

Mt. Superior Winter Alpine Climb:
From mid-November through June, the Suicide Chute, a classic, rock-lined, 40-degree couloir, is usually snow-filled. Crampons and ice axe are used, and we work on snow climbing skills as we approach the ridge.
