Climbing Mt Whitney |
 A view across the talus-covered western slopes of Mt Whitney towards the summit, covered in light and shifting cloud. This telephoto picture was taken at 8:18 am. The summit wasn’t as close as it looked: we still had more than an hour to go to get there. We were both tired, and given that we were well over 14,000 feet / 4,267 metres above sea-level, we weren’t moving particularly quickly. |
