Bringing Down the Face

A journey to Hogum Forks' Thunder Ridge, Little Cottonwood Canyon.
Good, bad. Amazing, crappy. The amount of snow in the Wasatch is incredible (upwards of 15' in the last few weeks), but the heat wave is down right miserable. I guess it is spring...


the wasatchs' coolest peak - the pfeifferhorn








let the journey begin


shredding frozen chunder


skinning up soupy chunder


the objective - the dresden face (right side of photo)


ummm, the aftermath and the 2000' feet of korn we were going to ski...


minutes pryer, looking down at 2000' of creamy korn


dropping the knee beneath the hanging doom of thunder ridge


our korn turned into bowling balls and small microwaves


inspecting the 15' high pile of madness


some lads shredding the NE couloir of lone peak




hogum's heros


cooling off the feet in little cottonwood creek


the campbell's and their pearly whites


maybe the gate buttress would have been a better option (everybody else seem to have known)...
