I hiked and climbed in the Wasatch more than fifty years ago. However I was never aware of the Pfeifferhorn. It appears to be just east of Lone Peak. You might call it "the Matterhorn of the Wasatch." Congratulations on some excellent photography. Digital photography makes picture-taking so much easier and foolproof than old 35mm film.

On the USGS maps the official name is actually "LIttle Matterhorn Peak". The local name of the peak "Pfeifferhorn" is more recognized and is named after Chuck Pfeiffer, who was a past leader of the Wasatch Mountain Club.
Your trip reports keep getting better and better! Seriously, these pictures are incredible! Next time, don't wait for me to go find them to see them. You better show them to me sooner. =) Love you!
