Story:
Our family held a family reunion in Park City in 2007. I thought that while I was in Utah I would attempt a peak. Lone Peak turned out to be a fairly tough hike. I started around 5AM, solo, and made it to a false summit at around noon. Unfortunately, I only had my GPS track (no map, mistake), and I climbed myself into a dead end. The peak would have required an hour of back tracking, and then several more to the peak. At about that time the weather started to change. Time to head out. The trip down that mountain seemed deceptively long, also it was particularly hot that day (95-100 deg). Anyways, it was a long day ... but a nice climb.

Since you didn't make it to the top, you may want to say instead "Lone Peak Attempt" in you title. When someone's looking for a gps route to get there, they want to know what they're looking at from the search page.
