hike partial wurl - August 15, 2026

Are you rational enough to know you can't hike the entire WURL, but just irrational enough to think you can hike most of it? This might be the hike for you. The Wasatch Ultimate Ridge Linkup is the most intense route in the Wasatch. We will be skipping the first ten miles of the official route but there will be more than enough ridgeline to leave you in tears. We will hike up to Cardiff Pass and then cover 25 gruelling miles that will likely take us late into the night and possibly into the next morning.

To join this you must have extensive long-distance, steep hiking experience as well as climbing experience. It's mostly off-trail ridge hiking and there are many spicy scrambling sections. We will be moving fast and not taking many breaks.

Let me know if you would like to join us on this painful, foolhardy endeavor. If I haven't hiked with you, tell me some of the bigger hikes that you've done and how long they took you.
