"A disjunction between the imagined and the real is a characteristic of all human activities", Robert Macfarlane wrote in Mountains of the Mind, "but it finds one of its sharpest expressions in the mountains.... These are matters of hard, steep, sharp rock and freezing snow; of extreme cold; of a vertigo so physical it can cramp your stomach and loosen your bowels; of...nausea and frostbite; and of unspeakable beauty." The critter scurried on as the climbers set off toward the unclimbed East Ridge of Mt. Kennedy. The next year, Doug Chabot and Alex Lowe were snowed off an alpine-style attempt of Mt. Kennedy's North Ridge. After they saw Washburn's photo of Mt. Kennedy's North Ridge and heard that another climber had expressed interest in making its first alpine-style ascent, they made their decision. I FIRST BECAME AWARE of the North Ridge of Mt. Kennedy from a Bradford Washburn photograph taken during his 1935 National Geographic Yukon Expedition. [Extracted from the article] |
