A cold chill

Voted 10/10

Looking out of the window...seeing my garden. Spring. Everyone around me is soooo happy because the cold season is to an end. Sure it's nice around here in spring, but when I looked at your photo I knew exactly where I want to be; on long cold ridges in rough weather!
Soon...
Great atmosphere and photo.

Triple Word !

Voted 10/10

So this is the 'Cottonwood Ridge' that I
heard so much about? Question: "Wouldn't it
be 'so easy' to 'buy the farm' somewhere on this long & treacherous ridge ???

The cornices? Are they commonly formed on the
southern face of the ridge? This BEATS the
cactus blooms that I've been lookin' at in
the Phoenix area. Very cool ridge ...

	d_shorb	Re: Triple Word !
	Hasn't voted	Certainly a sweet ridge. and an easy place to BUY THE FARM. I've seen double cornices on this ridge, and the trend is from the north in cold fronts. The desert is sweet though, too, Larry.

	Voted 10/10	I know - I had promised more photos of the "Grand Piano." I still can't believe how much snow remains in the Wasatch. I'm headed up there to check it ALL out...

Nice photo! I've been wanting to do the ridge as a snow climb for a while now - this photo has renewed my interest! Now for someone who wants to rope up on it with me . . .
