Intramural basketball

So Powerade came out with its power rankings for Intramural basketball at BYU, and we're currently ranked 13th out of all the teams at BYU!

Ryan burying a 3! He hit 9 threes and ended the game with 34 points!

Dave with a quick steal and a reverse layup. He finished the game with 14 points.

My next adventure

Ive decided that my next adventure is going to be this:

Provo Peak

(its the snow covered peak behind the Y mountain)

Standing at 11068 ft.

I'm thinking about hiking in one Friday and camping in bear flats for the night, then starting out early saturday morning to cover the remaining 4 miles to the summit. Round trip of 12 miles, elevation gain of 6500 ft. Piece of cake!!

Climbing the Y summit

So my friend Dustin and I at the last moment decided to climb to the summit of the Y mountain. We leave at 6:30 in the morning, and first climb to the top of the Y. From there we take a small trail that shoots off to the right, and climbs up through Slide Canyon. It was steadily snowing and there was powder, up to 3-5 feet deep in some spots. In many spots, the powder was loose and the slope was so steep that to climb 10 feet took over a minute. So after almost 5 hours, we finally made it to the top! And the views that we were expecting to see...weren't there. There were near white-out conditions and we couldn't see past 20 feet. So much for the great views.

Heading up Slide Canyon (named for all the avalanches that happen there. We saw one happen on the way down the mountain.)

The struggle up the mountain.

Finally the top of the mountain!!!
