Attempting Lone Peak UT 9-19

Jeff and I attempt Lone peak which over looks Salt Lake City. We flew in that morning so at least there is an excuse for the late start. I battle a virus and jet lag with hopes Jeff can drag me down if we don't make it. I hope to make it back to this one as its one of the prettiest mountain faces in the SLC area.

My brother Arend and I free climb the Full Exum route, also known as the Exum Direct route. Its a true 6 pitch start up the South ridge, then leads to 1,000 ft of scrambling and simul-climbing the upper Exum route. This classic line covers over 2,000ft of one of Americas most famous mountains. Enjoy! Music- Can’t you hear me knocking- Rolling Stones Ramble on- Toni Jevicky Doing nothing- Sakura...

Soloed the North face of Mnt Ritter CA on 6-25-18 7 Hrs up 3.5 down, 12 mile hike in. Mnt Ritter can be seen from Mammoth Mnt Ski resort in the Sierra's of California. Enjoy
incredible climbing bro. that video got my heart pumping. thinking I might go check it out for myself.
Bad ass boys, I got on this a few weeks ago and had to bail from the top of pitch 4. It makes me feel better hearing your assessment of the grades on the pitches.
Climbed this in '93 or '94 before the rap anchors were installed. We rapped down the back side and had to climb up a wet 5.4/5.5 chimney (w/o a rope 'cuz ass partner did not want to waste time) before heading down The Gash. We slept in car at Glacier Gorge parking lot and hiked in @ 3am. Got onto the rock at about 7 and by the time we summitted (about 1) a storm was rolling in. Can't see chancing it starting as late as you guys did but you had a perfect day.
Well done guys, both the climb and the vid.
Excellent video! Climbing this with a buddy in a month, appreciate the beta! 🤙
For me this is by far the best video of this route on UA-cam! So many of the other ones are twice the length and most the of the runtime is just some dude yapping into the camera. Not this one! No bullshit, just classic jams and dope of shots of the action! Well done dudes, gets me stoked to go back out there!
Climbed it in '83. Brilliant rock in some enormous exposure. The summit is epic; the rappels are lousy!
beyond incredibile
The route is called the Exum Ridge.
Awsome video and the google earth views really helps to have a good idea of the route! Congrats on the climb.
As an fyi, those bolts are just over 20 years old. Always use both when rapping (especially in rmnp). Good work though
Been on that classic 3x.....last time at age 70!
This is one I had forgotten , 68 or 69 , no cams or sticky shoes . Nice climb though .
Good rock .
How is your Rage Against the Machine not copyrighted on your video? I might like to use Rage Against the Machine.
Awesome video!!!!!
Could you share did you get such good imagery from google earth? When i look st the grand teton its much lower resolution than what youre showing. Any tips?
If I go in august could I scramble this route? Don’t have crampons or picks
No, lambs slide is permanent ice that lasts year round, at least for now in 2023. The vertical climbing after Broadway is not a scramble. It goes at 5.7 and is very exposed.
@@seanmunaco how's the rock at this section?
Thank God, a rock climbing video with music that doesn't suck!!
Great job blinding her with that torch and ruining her night vision. 🤪
nice climbing content
I just found this while looking for beta and wow, what a gem! Looks like an all-time day for you guys.
You remind me of all the bright ideas i take my girlfriend on also haha
This brings back memories, the upper sections are really out there. We went off the back too, no rap rings back then. Thanks for doing the Vid!
Would love to paraglide off the top. Skip the raps in the dark and long walks back to the trail head..
That’s a pretty epic video. Great day, good vibes, good footage. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
How did you retrieve the rope while rappelling with a single line on the way down?
I had a Beal Escaper. Allows you to retrieve your rope without folding it in half
this made me literally laugh out loud at points... thanks for making quarantine a little less painful! nice video
Early start? Looks like you guys slept in! Most people are at the base around sunrise.
We did get a late start. We climbed McGregor slab the day before that ran late and had issues with the parking/shuttles in the early morning. Almost shut down the attempt..
@@seanmunaco Right on. For next time, with an alpine start you can avoid using the shuttle. Also, the route you climbed is actually the South Face (not West face) and goes at 5.8. The P5 variation is a very short 5.9 section and protects very well.
That was good! Real fine music too, thanks!
I climbed Petit Grepon back in 1978. Your video is one of the best I've seen, brought back a lot of memories. I remember the wild exposure; we didn't take the long repels down we climbed back over the Vee between Saber & Sharks Tooth. I don't remember any bolt belays, just ratty old slings. I did the same thing at the top you did (Yahoo). There were some climbers a few pitches below us come to find out later that it was Steve Kamito & Yvon Chouinard, closest as I ever got to either of them. Many happy climbing years ahead for both of you.
That’s awesome, thanks for sharing that.
Great video! Im planing to go there this year. Is there a reason to carry the bag while climbing instead of leaving it at camp? Is the second rope for rappel?
Thanks! We take light backpacks that stores our water, insulation layers, backup climbing gear, food, and an emergency kit in case we get stuck and have to over night on the mountain. We do leave our larger packs down on the shoulder that we hike in and out with. Yes the second rope is a thin static rope for full length rappels. Have a good climb!
On the to-do list for awhile…sick vid, thanks for sharing!
Thanks
Wow dude this is the type of content the world needs to see and never will because the algorithm is fucked
Appreciate that. I don’t do it for the views, I do it so my friends and family can see all the shenanigans I get into. Backed up on videos right now, I’ve got 5 that i need to put together.
Glad I just found your channel. Rocks and classic rock. How did you get away with using these songs and UA-cam not censoring you. Every time I used to make videos UA-cam would flag me for copyright issues
I try to use covers or karaoke versions of songs. ;)
Holy exposure Batman. Makes you ask, how much do I really trust the gear.
Trust it with my life!
I wouldn’t call any of those routes “crack” climbing but both are fun.
How do you get your gear back after rappelling?
On this particular route there’s dedicated rappel anchors, a little hard to find at times but there none the less
That was sweet man! Got to try that, the icy lambs slide is my only concern. . .would only do it on snow. Looked gnarly.
Ya conditions weren’t perfect, Lambs has been melting out bad the last several years. A shooting gallery for sure. Saw many bowling ball size rocks come shooting down.
Does this have a climbing or scrambling grade for it to put everything into context. I don't know shit about Alpine grades
It’s very condition dependent. In a perfect world the variant I took was about 5.6. But I hit it after the first snow and in boots/gloves vs climbing shoes so it felt like a stiff 5.7 with cold hands to me, with pretty decent exposure.
What you are doing has to be the ultimate RUSH at times. Hats off to you Sean. Love it!!
Absolutely badass!
Thanks for going! And helping out with shots
awesome!
Might be a strange ask, what jacket did you wear for this? Looks pretty cold. Thanks!!
Used an arcteryx Gamma LT with a T-shirt underneath. Used a Marmot Novus for insulation in the shade, but any puffer will do. The shaded cracks were Icy early in the morning, I wore gloves the first pitch or 2.
Great use of Google Earth
It looks too technical. Great video.
Nice video but it looked like some pretty shoddy belaying around the 9:00 mark. It looked like the belayer took his brake hand off more than once. Not trying to be a dick but just pointing out a potentially serious habit.
Its not the gym bro. Everything is relative in the mountains. The climber was in an extremely low fall situation, and he was in eye sight. Get up there and do it for yourself and you'll understand.
Great video dude, thanks for making this! I want to attempt this route next year. Was it so cold when you started that you had to do the first few pitches in the gloves? How does the 5.7 compare to say a 5.7 in eldo or RMNP?
It’s comparable, 5.7 really means exposed 5.8-9ish haha. Yes it was very cold, especially in the chimneys at the beginning. We actually waited till the sun came up to start, just to warm it up a bit. There was a slow party of 3 in the chimney so i bypassed them by climbing the face to the right, what i’ve heard is its the better climb anyway.
Do you have a Topo map or any resources that map out the decent that you could share ? :) Me and my buddies want to climb the exum route this summer
The best guide to the upper Exum and owen-spalding routes by far is wyomingwhiskey. Give it a google, it should have everything you’re looking for.
Been to red rock plenty of time, but never thought of taking my TC’s. How did they climb? Going out there in a couple weeks. Great video!
TC’s work great for long easy multi pitching. Worked great on the sandstone! Perfect time of year usually right now but heard it was still hot out there, hope it cools down for ya. Thanks, glad you enjoyed
TC pros work great there. Katanas too. I prefer the katanas because most of red rock is face climbing with crack for pro. Katanas edge super well there.
HOLY FUCK
Could definitely do without the music. Kind of ruins it for me. :-(
