Closer would be nice! But I think they would have to shift it over a bit. Otherwise too much congestion between the 6 pak and that chair. Although, with a faster lift the distribution might be better since the spear line is never a line to begin with.

Seems we just missed each other. I didn't have time to hike only a couple telephoto shots. Seems there's plenty of towers left but I'm sure they'll most likely disappear before long.
It looks like they might be clearing to one side. What could you see?

Couldn't tell if the earthwork taking place at the top was just a result of machinery moving around during the equipment removal phase or if it is clearing for the future terminal.

Took a swing by today and very little has changed. Just as many old towers remain as last week but some drainage control was put in place at the base, a couple spots upslope and probably where at least one new tower will go.
I hope to have an opportunity to spend some time hiking but that won't be for a couple of weeks. By then I hope there'll be a lot to see.

The way this is being removed so delicately tells me it will be sold or reused.

Towers arrive:
Looks like it made the trip from SLC ok. Doppelmeyr makes good lifts.

Can't wait to ride this, wonder if they'll add a couple of trails off Spear. We rode the end of the Pinnacle expansion connector last year those trails look really nice and ready to go, wish they had something going up over there this summer.

Pinnacle is going to be nice. Most expansion these days tend to me short and pretty tame, but that is legit terrain.

While I am looking forward to the expansion - I am please they updated the Spear lift first.

Looks like brackets for the sheave trains, cross-arms, and rebar for the base terminal.
