Craig Lloyd posted this challenge in the Uinta Mountains:

The Utah Triple Crown was first coined in 2001 when I did a one day ascent of all three of Utah's tallest peaks in a day, starting from an advanced base camp at Dollar Lake. The three peaks are King's Peak, South King's, and Gilbert Peak; in that order. The trip was covered by a local paper and over time has received a bit of attention by local peakbaggers. I never considered what I did a FA and I know of at least two other people who have come forward and said they had done it before me.

This is a rather popular loop among ultra-runners in the area, so I wanted to post my slow time with the hope of seeing what some faster runners can do.

Ben Clark posted the route:

This route traces from the upper parking lot at Guanella Pass outside Georgetown, Co summits 6 peaks and ends at the 11'990' parking lot at Loveland Pass. It includes the classic Front Range 14'er Peaks Grays and Torreys as well as 13'ers Grizzly Peak, Argentine Peak, Mt. Edwards and Square Top. Although non technical from the alpinists standpoint, it has some limited exposure and route finding.
