Big Provo Cirque Ridge

August 20, 2016 - Northern Utah

3.0 mi  /  2,422 ft

Ever since getting into Big Provo Cirque a couple years ago and seeing that rugged ridge that surrounds it to the west, I've had a route in mind that I thought would be pretty cool to do. The Sundance ski lift goes all the way to Bearclaw Cabin in the summer now, and from there there is a ridge that leads directly up to the main ridge surrounding Big Provo Cirque. It was a bit of a bushwhack, especially at the start, and then it got pretty steep and knife-edgy in places. But I eventually did find a way to the ridge. It offered some unique views of the cirque and surrounding area.
