Trip Report: Mount Timpanogos
Mount Timpanogos is the second highest peak in Utah's Wasatch range. Parlor athlete Dave Rosen recently made a day trip out of the technical descent and sent along a few notes and photos from the trip.
Timpanogos is a bucket list peak for any ski mountaineer in the Wasatch, with over 4,000 vertical feet of skiing, 3,000 of which with a pitch of 45 degrees or more. The descent usually includes a mandatory repel, but with Utah's deep snowpack this year Dave and his partner, Dan McCann were able to ski all 4000 feet uninterrupted. Dave is a New Hampshire native who lives in the Park City area where he skis for a number of brands, including Parlor, Dave's go-to pair is his "Live Free or Die" Mountain Jay. Dave's partner on this mission was Dan McCann, another Utah-based mountaineer whose long list of accomplishments includes a first telemark descent of the Grand in Grand Teton National Park. They're both pretty stoked to go back...
