This is the mountain from a distance. Duh. |
This is the west face, which is the route I took. I tried to include
the large pine trees for some perspective. Although you cannot see the
peak in this picture, it is not too much higher up. |
My shoulder got in the way because I was straddling the peak, and at
this point I was less concerned about pictures and really just trying to
hold on. |
Same thing: thumb got in the way as I was desperately trying to hang
on to the peak while snapping a quick shot to the north. This was one of
the scarier moments during the climb because I was facing toward the south
and had to twist all the way around to get this picture while trying to
maintain my precarious seat on the peak. |
This is the view to the east. The cars let you know how high up I was. |
Intrepid climber near the base. (Yes, that's me. I pestered a random
stranger to take the picture.) |
