Fat Mans Misery
Going to take a stroll today with friends. We're going to hike as far as the first drop into "West Fork Fat Mans" and back out. Don't ask why we wouldn't just bag Fat Mans at the same time Anyway I hope to post a photo or two tonight of the conditions for those that may be interested! Cheers!

Fat Mans
A couple photos to begin with. The first is where the "technical" Fat Mans descent begins. The second shows the slickrock descent into the major drainage known as West Fork Fat Mans. The 3rd shows the West Fork Fat Mans, but looking north upcanyon from the ridge before dropping into the major drainage of Fat Mans; looking north to the ridge that separates Parunuweap and Route 9. The fourth is a photo I took from high up on Quilt Mountain as I searched for what I thought might be an arch. No Arch there but the view shows the route from the saddle, around the southern tip of Checkerboard and to what I refer to the Whales Back "white slickrock ridge" to aim for to make the descent into West Fork Fat Mans. The fifith photo shows some of the deep snow we encountered on the way up the canyon separating Checkerboard and Quilt Mountain! It was an absolute BEAUTIFUL day with a GREAT hiking partner! More photos to follow!

It felt great to be back out with Bo! My favorite hiking partner ever... As he said I am even going to work a bit at his new outdoor store in St. Geroge - The Desert Rat. It should be fun.

Wow. I need a hiking partner like this. For some reason I can never convince my hiking partners to hike in a sports bra.

I love the views on this hike. We did the canyon for Bogleyfest last year and it was a blast. But that hike was not fun on the way in or out in the June heat. Some great views though.
Thanks for feeding my southern utah hunger with your pics!The man thong is wrong.
