Harold Goodro, University of Utah associate instructor — his accomplishments in climbing and hiking are world-renowned
More make the crossing of the swollen, fast-moving river
The Wind Rivers contain more than 40 named peaks over 13,000 feet and 1,300+ named lakes
This crossing is tense — wet log, long fall on angry river and rocks
Base camp — tomorrow the group ascends Mount Freemont and glissades down a chimney using an ice ax to arrest descent
Photo taken by Harold Goodro — hammocks like this were just being introduced
Moving along the trail
