"Got crushed by this one. Up Broads Fork, Robinson ridge to Twin Peaks. Then tried to take the Cottonwood Ridge to Superior or Monte Cristo East. Ran out of gas after Dromedary. 3+ miles of class 3&4 with pretty constant exposure wore me down physically and mentally. The ridge east of Dromedary is just so slow, long and relentless to me. Might take a while before I forget this lesson and try again." — bobbyut • Jul 24, 2025

"Completed the Robinson variation of the triple traverse! So glad I finally did this one, it’s been on my list for awhile now. The initial trail up isn’t too steep, but once you get to the basin and the end of the trail, it turns into an annoying boulder field. Once you get to the summit of bonkers peak, it turns into good scrambling across the entire ridge. The first pitch up jepsons folley is very steep class 4/5 wall, lots of exposure, the push to O’Sullivan isn’t too bad, but the descent sucks because you drop down super low. Finding a starting point to push up dromedary is a little weird, but once you are up it, the scrambling is easy. The descent from dromedary into lake Blanche absolutely sucks, and I don’t think I will be doing it again. Mix of super steep and loose rock fields, thistle galore, and getting cliffed out and having to find another way down. There is also a really annoying creek crossing with bushwhacking." — easton • Sep 8, 2024

"🏔 #SummitSeason Encore 🏔 . I decided to commit to the full @uofucampusrec #7summitschallenge 🥵 After today I've done 26,808 ft since Aug 24th, and have 2,192 ft left to complete the equivalent of Mt Everest's elevation ✊🏽 . Elevation: Sunrise Peak - 11,275 ft, Dromedary Peak - 11,107 ft. Trailhead: Mill B South. Route: Broads Fork. Start Time: 8:30am. Time to Summit: 4.5 hrs to Sunrise Peak, 5.5 hrs to Dromedary Peak. Total Time: Approximately 8.5 hrs. Distance to Summit: Approximately 5.39 miles to Sunrise Peak, 6 miles to Dromedary Peak. Total Distance: 11.46 miles. Elevation Gain: 6,842 ft. Notes: This was my first loop hike - from Broads Fork, to the summits, and to Lake Blanche. The approach was mostly simple until I reached the scree field below the Cottonwood ridgeline. Scree, snow and grass do not mix well. Once on the ridge I tried to stay on it and probably didn't drop more than about ten feet below it. After reaching the saddle between Sunrise and Dromedary, some information said I would need to drop 50 feet down into Little Cottonwood Canyon, but I found a class 4 climb that seemed manageable. After that I followed climbers paths and looked for access points back onto ..." — trailheadjoe • Nov 3, 2020
