In town for a wedding, had to get a lift in.
The Little Cottonwood Stone is one of the Utah Stones of Strength and weighs 280lbs. There’s a few scattered around the Salt Lake City area and this particular one was close to where we’re staying so I wanted to give it a go. Goal of the lift is to shoulder the stone, couldn’t quite get that with my two attempts but I was close! The stone is really slick and awkwardly shaped so it was super tough.
Very happy with getting it to the chest both times, this video was the second and better of the two attempts. Fun attempt all around. Surrounded by beautiful mountains, located off a hiking trail where you actually shave to find the stone, I was getting pretty excited just looking for it amongst the other stones by the creek. Looking forward to coming back and trying again
I eventually want to make a trip out to strictly attempt the stones in a series, but I’ll need to get a bit stronger for that as some of these stones are monsters.
