A man, possibly Buster Beck, in snowfield with a cross-cut felling saw, possibly near Fancy Pass.
"A felling saw is generally less stiff than a bucking saw and the backside, as well as the cutting side, is usually curved inward. Felling saws are more often used to cut down standing trees, so the thinner, lighter design is easier to use without gravity holding the blade against the cut."

"In February of 1933 there was no snow at the John Ambos sawmill on the east rim of Rock Creek Canyon and very little anywhere in the McCoy area, for that matter. But a year later, there was plenty of it. The A frame just to the right of the mill shed, supports a heavy aerial cable that Frank Haddon had stretched across the canyon for a log hoisting operation in 1930 which was a dismal failure." -- McCoy Memoirs, p.245
