Pfieferhorn, from Red Pine Lake route….66:10. Ha, but it was way back about 15 years ago.

Red Pine Lake only. 32:25 from White Pine TH

Olympus South trail, (main route) 57:19 to summit. Jogged down easy.1:35 ish RT.

Lone Peak saddle on Bells Canyon. 5hr, 31 min RT from my house.

That’s all I got, but I recall back in the day running Grandeur Peak in 34 min and change multiple times from the road.

Hi Craig,

Thanks for the comment about the need for a better WasatchFKT site. The blog approach doesn’t work very well at all. Peter’s FKT site is good, but it seems that everything still needs to go through him. It needs to be almost wiki style to encourage folks to contribute more, but….

I’m going to fiddle around with a Google “site” because it is actually quite powerful and free. You can build forms as a way to input data and then take advantage of Google docs etc. I’ll let you know if it looks promising. And, if you come up with something better let me know.

Thanks,

Jared

Jared, I just noticed this page on your site. Peter’s FKT site is growing and new stuff is being added all the time. But because it is so ‘all-encompassing’ I’m not sure how specific it will ever get to tracking some of the “smaller” runs and peaks in each area (the Wasatch specifically).
I’m not saying this page should be the place for it, but its something to consider.
Other notable runs/summits worth tracking (that are on FKT and summitpost) on this site might be Mt Timpanogos (ascent and round trip), King’s Peak (seeing a lot of attention recently), Triple Crown (King’s, So King’s, Gilbert), Uinta Highline, Mt Olympus, West Slabs Loop (West Slabs to true summit, down main trail and back to car), etc.

Any thoughts on the best way to track this stuff? There is a lot more attention on this stuff now and they are getting tracked all over the place.

Jared,

I like reading your blog, there’s a lot of good adventures and race write-ups. This summer, I ran my first Hardrock and fourth Wasatch. If you ever want to get out for a run, shoot me an e-mail. Keep up the good work.

How ’bout a West Slabs record? I’m sure you’ve slayed that in deathly time. Hunter and I did it years ago in 73 minutes (car to ridge). But I hear Alex Lowe did it in under 60… I’m guessing you’ve fired it up.
