According to the map, it's 1200 feet rise in 1/2 mile. It takes us about 2 hours to do the whole circuit.
End of Stage 1--looking down at the parking lot (the car is a little gray dot just over Jack's shoulder), then up to the destination.
End of Stage 2--same as above
End of Stage 3--I wanted Jack to sit and pose for the picture. He was reluctant, but sat. Sort of. He kept trying to lift one haunch then the other. That's when I noticed he was sitting on an ant swarm. About the time I realized that meant I was standing in the same swarm. That was about the time they started biting me. Needless to say, the shoot was short! 
End of Stage 4--Sandy first (my house), Provo second (Grandma's house)
Stage 5--The top. The first level ground since the car. Then the road down
And finally, the bottom again.

That is absolutely incredible! I wish so much I could hike it with you... Have you been looking for evidence of the fault? You're hiking straight up it and i'm sure there are lots of cool scars on the rocks.
Man oh man what I wouldn't give for a mountain in my backyard. Sigh. Today I got to bike up a 100 foot hill. I could see a whole quarter mile down the road ahead of me. How exciting.
