Zippy!

Submitted by Backcountry Explorer

Where: Zion National Park, UT
When: May 2009
Partners: Ram & Andy Archibald

It had been nearly a year since I’d seen Ram, so I was pretty stoked to have him onboard with Andy and I for a hike up an obscure, backcountry peak that Ram would later call ‘Zippy’.

With a somewhat long, off-trail approach, we eventually gained some pleasant slickrock that led us toward the final ridge leading to the summit. As we hiked along to the highpoint, the views really opened up.
