Denali Climber

[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Of all the photos I took on Denali, this one best captures the spirit of the West Buttress, and that of expedition climbing in general; a climber wearing a heavy pack, pulling a sled amidst a backdrop of snowy peaks.

Photo taken from the top of Ski Hill on Denali, with Mt Hunter in the background, May 21, 2008.

I found your report. Awesome! Also, this is a great shot -- it really captures the scale of the surrounding mountains, eh? :)

I like how you got this solitary climber in the picture w/Hunter.
Kind of a classic mountaineering picture!
