i spent 2.5 days on what is, to date, the most stunning, remote feeling, pristine, and beautiful alpine climb of my life.

got weepy twice behind my glacier glasses from sheer feelings of awe and gratitude. never have i felt quite so small and insignificant, and yet so vast.

i am still very emotionally and mentally raw from that experience. this is a beautiful planet we have, treat it well.

Looking at some of your pictures I was reminded how real life dwarfs my own pictures. Being there had to be stunning.

It occurred to me that we're probably okay as a species if hordes of humans were willing to pay hundreds of dollars to stare out over the Capilano Suspension Bridge on Monday. I think we forget? But I also think we're easily reminded.
