Lone Peak
Signature summit of the Lone Peak Wilderness and head of Bells Canyon. Its northeast cirque — the Lone Peak Cirque — holds some of the best alpine granite climbing in the Lower 48: 400–500 ft walls of clean quartz monzonite, grades from Class 3 to 5.12. The Triple Overhangs (5.10a), Vertical Smile (5.10a), and The Undone Book (5.9+ R) are the cirque's triple crown. The standard hike to the summit from Bells Canyon is one of the hardest day hikes in the Wasatch — ~14 miles and ~5,900 ft of gain.
Elevation: 11,260 ft
