Pfeifferhorn

A sharp granite summit on the south divide of Little Cottonwood Canyon, nicknamed the 'Little Matterhorn' for its abrupt triangular profile when viewed from the Salt Lake Valley. The standard approach climbs from the White Pine / Red Pine Trailhead past Red Pine Lake, gaining the west ridge via a Class 3 boulder traverse with an exposed knife-edge section just below the summit. One of the signature Wasatch summit-hikes.
