Nepal, Looking Through My Legs on Island Peak, 1983
Nepal, Looking Through My Legs on Island Peak, 1983 - This photograph was taken on Island Peak, my first snow and ice climb. It is an easy climb, but this photograph, taken between my legs looking upside down, gives some sensation of what it is like to be climbing on a snow slope. I have noticed many mountaineering photographs are deceiving. Places that are tricky can look easy and vice versa. I was asked at an Everest presentation why it didn't look so difficult. Later I realized that in the more difficult sections, I was less likely to take out my camera.
