Lone Peak is a remote and rugged peak that offers several routes from every direction with unique terrain. Any route you choose is long, challenging and adventurous. This route is known as the “open book” route. The approach begins in Draper and follows the Jacob’s ladder ascent to the cirque. This is a brutally steep and long trail. The cirque is a great place for camp if you are planning on making an overnighter trip. Once you reach the cirque the technical climbing begins. There are 4-5 pitches up the giant slab directly below the summit. All pitches are rated between 5.6 to 5.7. The route is well protected and all belays require natural anchors. Bring a single rack that includes a set of stoppers #4 to #13, a set of C4’s #.3 to #3 (with an extra #2), C3’s #0 to #2, a dozen trad draws plus two or three double length slings. Reaching the summit is amazing and the incredible vertical drop to the cirque is unforgettable.
