The 36-mile Wasatch Ultimate Ridge Link-up (WURL) is a ridge scramble-/suffer-fest created and first completed in 2004 by Jared Campbell. It horseshoes around the rugged ridge of Little Cottonwood Canyon, climbing ~18K vertical feet to the summit of 35 peaks along the way. This tough challenge has grown in popularity recently; usually attempted as a clockwise one-time push in Type-2 fun circles. Largely overlaps with the Wasatch 11ers Peak Challenge.

"Long climb. Took about five and a half hours. The half mile to the peak is quite bouldery and trekking piles should be stowed. It is quite easy to go off trail, so stay close to the ridge." — Ecaello • Jul 29, 2023
"Took Sunrise Chairlift than hiked Road To Dynamite to the summit if Solitude. There was massive thunder storm that came over. Once everything dried we went up Fantasy Ridge than down the backside of Black Bess up to Patsy Marley." — JasonFitz • Jul 17, 2021

"Started at Cecret Lake Trail and went up the lake than up to the top of Sugarloaf. Then went down Sugarloaf and up Devil's Castle . If you don't like exposure and some some pretty good scrambling than don't do Devil's Castle. There are a lot of cliffs with huge drops. Even with that said it is still really fun. We went over Devils Castle than went back down to the trailhead at Cecret Lake." — JasonFitz • Jul 15, 2021
