Another spring weekend at Chevelon Creek. This time I explored the fantastic Slim Jim Ridge, an unusually long, straight, and narrow butterknife ridge with fantastic views of Chevelon Creek below.

There's an interesting structure at the top of the ridge that hasn't been used in several years. Perhaps Slim Jim used to live there!?

I decided to wing it on the way back down, choosing a very steep descent across from Larsen Ridge into the lower part of Long Tom Canyon. As always, the creek route back to camp was perfect.

Never any complaints here.
