In March of 1939 Charles “Chick” Pfeiffer was found dead in his Salt Lake City shoe shop. He was still wearing his ski clothes. Chick Pfieffer was one of the founding members of the Wasatch Mountain Club, a group dedicated to outdoor recreation and exploration. Indeed, its club charter stated its purpose as — among other things —“to promote the physical and spiritual well being of its members and others by outdoor activities.” The group still operates today. Shortly after his death, friends of Chick Pfeiffer climbed the Little Matterhorn. Little Matterhorn is a small, sharp peak that climbs above 11,300 feet at the Hogum and Maybird headwalls. It’s a photogenic, iconic peak that has come to symbolize the rocky, rugged Wasatch Mountains. Both the open bowled south side and the famous northwest couloirs offer significant bragging rights for backcountry skiers and mountaineers. The peak can be seen from countless perches throughout the Wasatch, acting as a navigational landmark, or contextual reference of distance and space. It was there, at the top of the peak that those members of the Wasatch Mountain Club renamed the Little Matterhorn in honor of their friend and colleague. (From epicriding. com) 18
