Before leaving Utah, there are somethings that need to be done. Such as climbing to the restaurant at the top of Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon. Here's the view from the bottom. The restaurant is at the top.
T-Rav had hiked this a few weeks back solo, and said it was kinda nuts. Well, it was. We crossed the river, that was fine. We went up these ropes, that was fine. Hiking an hour or so in the river got old, but other than that this was really a sweet hike. Very difficult - I would discourage most everyone from doing it, but if yous gots the guts, it's a sweet hike. The restaurant is still in pretty good shape, the view was amazing, and T-Rav and I left our marks.
Oh, and in the restaurant, I got some very good advice.

I've always wanted to get up there. My dad said he rode that old gondola that was there years ago (like when he was about to go on his mission).
Did you climb the face to get up there? Or did you approach it from behind?
We went up the face until the 2nd level of the falls, crossed the river, went up some ropes, switchbacked over to the river again, and went up the river. After going upriver a ways, we turned right and found an old trail going to the restaurant.
However, my buddy T-Rav basically went up the face a few weeks ago. Our way on Saturday was definitely easier.
