As we descended Fremont Peak a storm continued to brew darkly over Titcomb Basin. Shortly before I arrived at the col by the base of the Southwest Buttress route a shaft of light broke through the clouds and illuminated Upper Titcomb and Summer Ice Lakes, and the surrounding peaks.

I had stashed my camera in my pack for the descent but quickly dropped the pack and retrieved it before the light went out, which it did moments later.
