Mt. Olympus dominates the Salt Lake City skyline. Beginning at the Cove trailhead in a residential area this route follows a well-defined trail to the top of the snow couloir at the base of the West Slabs. This wall is extremely wide and offers unlimited routes. It is close to 2000 feet of climbing and involves several pitches. The climbing is easy with nothing more technical than a 5.6. From the top of the West Slabs views are excellent and your route up the west ridge is obvious. There are six summits up here and this route will summit each of them. It involves continued up and down scramble climbing with occasional exposed and technical sections where you will want to rope up. Descend down the main hiking trail. Bring a small standard rack, an ice axe and crampons for the section of snow just before the wall. Many trees are available for quick belays or protection on pitches.
