One of my favorite ridge linkups in Jackson. I always knew this as the "Skyline Traverse" while others have called it " Adventure Ridge" or "Fossil Ridge" but "Rendezvous Ridge Traverse" is probably the most appropiate name.

* It's important to note that there is a faster men's time that predates the current male FKT on this site. It was set by Seppi Stiegler on July 19 2024 in a time of 3 hours 28 min 4 seconds.*

Shawna Troupe and I set off up Mount Glory on August 16th 2026 after a week of pretty constant rain. It made the trail portions really great and tacky. The ridge is snow free this late in the season so there is no place to refill water. We both carried two 500ml flasks as our hydration for the run. We had fantastic cooler temps and cloud cover for most of the ridge and made pretty good time, even through the messier off trail sections. By the time we summited Cody Peak we had just over 20 minutes to try to best the men's time ( men's time posted on this site, not Seppi's time) so we booked it down and up towards the tram. Unfortunately there was construction blocking off the final 400 ft before the tram so we ended our run on the summit of Peak 10450 aka Rendezvous just above the tram rather than at the tram dock itself. It adds just a hair more milage and vert. We ended the traverse 3 hrs 40 min and 59 seconds after starting at the base of Glory.
