Mount Superior

Mount Superior - 11,050'
Monte Cristo - 11,132'

You will need good balance and good route finding skills.
When you get to the Cardiff Pass Saddle, there is a weather station on an unamed peak 10,277, you can go left or right, I would suggest going left, if you go right, there is a lot more exposed scrambling.
When you come down from Superior, stay high along the ridge, there are many drainages that want to lead you into exhausting screes.

You will be in the sun for the entire hike.

Your the best! I will remember being a ski bum at alta, in 1978-1979. I always will return to this Beautiful place with soul. I live now in Denver, but I ski in Utah! Love your picture's. Hey, you may want to do winter photos & sell them. I am sure many would buy. It is very funny. Most skiers come from back east to utah, there first time they are mountain struck. So big, so much snow, I want to bring back a memory of alta. They do have a art gallery at the goldminers, I would try that first. Your photos are great, why not make money & share this great images.
