Kevin Brown on a winter ascent of Electric Ladyland, Washington Column, Yosemite.
Taken by friend and fellow climber Kevin Steele.
for Laurie and the Littles.
"The climber contiues until the top
Ominous avalanches do not stop
The man from dominating the mountain
Once the summit has been reached, a fountain
Bubbling over with eternal gleeGetting down is easier, one can ski
Gracefully, in classic telemark styleTaking in the alpine scenes all the while
With crampons attached and ice ax in handHe carefully surveys the distant land. "
Jason Feldt 1995
May their be the raddest mountains to climb
and the most beautiful sunsets for you to see!!
