Is there a way up the frontside of Timpanogos?

bootpack man!

the best way is to get a snowmobile or a 4-wheeler (in the spring) and take the timpanooke road that wraps out around the west face, find your line and boot straight up...

it's an epic, so be prepared.
 
Have you done it? I don't know what road your talking about. By bootpack you mean just hike straight up right? Sorry so many questions.
 
dude, no worries!

we have done it, i live in cedar hills at the mouth of american fork canyon. when i say, straight up i literally mean, pick a ridgeline that looks good and head on up.

ski right back down to your sled or whatever...
 
oh, and the road is called timpanooke road...find the parking lot where you park when you are hiking mt. timpanogas and keep bearing right, it turns into a dirt road a mile or so up...keep following it and it wraps around the north peak and then heads south along the base of the west face...get out there a little bit and start looking for the line you want to ski...

it's pretty bare now by the way.
 
Did you go for it? I look at the face all the time and want to hike it.. let me know how it went, if you did go.
 
MY friends have hiked/climbed it twice in the last week, they actually camped up on the mountain this weekend, they are using crampons and icetools, but they day hiked it last week without mountaineering gear, they said it's really sweet up there right now and there's still a lot of snow n ice
