alpinestateofmind > To get to this spot took me 4 days of effort. After a long day, I woke at around 4a.m. and watched the sun rise over the mountains. I spent a few hours resting on the cold boulders waiting for the sun to soften the snow. Views of Tenpeak consumed me just as much as Glacier Peak did. A few hours later, I would be on top of Tenpeak's North Couloir by myself. The view out over the mountains was a thrill, but it is hard to beat a peaceful morning waiting for the sun to rise over a place like this.

alpinestateofmind > An arc of snow leads to a lone rock and puffy clouds look on as if they are spectators in a massive theater.
alpinestateofmind > There is something to be said of the simplicity of white on blue. It puts a man in perspecive. In the lowlands the world is so cluttered, but up in the mountains it is you, the sky and everything else below.
alpinestateofmind > In such a stark landscape snowpatches dot the shoreline of a large glacier lake. In the distance Kyle skins toward the Honeycomb Glacier. Finally after 4 days, the way forward is easy.
alpinestateofmind > In the DaKobed Range there are many glaciers, most less than their fomer glory. Where I stood in this photo probably wasn't so long ago covered in the ice of the Honeycomb Glacier. I found this color heartening. It shows that life will cling to anything, even if just by a thread. In this case Indian Paint Brush beneath Tenpeak in the Glacier Peak Wilderness of Washington State.
