interlude by ViktoriaHaack

A brief break from driving rain allowed me to capture this long exposure image at a very stormy Berg Lake. Listening to Berg and Mist glaciers carving into the lake at night can be pretty eerie from your tent 🙂

Frozen Labyrinth by PaulZizkaPhoto

Jesse Milner navigates through the mighty Robson Glacier, a couple of weeks ago. I actually took this on the descent (we took a little detour…) after a wonderful trip that took us to the top of the 3 11,000ers visible in this image: Resplendent (left), Robson (right) and the Helmet (black peak in front of Robson).

Frozen Kingdom by PaulZizkaPhoto

This is one of my favourite images from Mount Robson. As we weaved our way through the seracs that flank the Helmet, we finally rounded the corner to gain the ridge, just in time to see the sun illuminate the frozen land beyond.

Kain’s Gift by PaulZizkaPhoto

Eventually, halfway up the Kain Face, morning came and the sun started bathing the heights in an incredible pinkish glow. I faced away form the anchor and could not believe the vista. That black dot on the Dome in the centre of the picture is our tent.

Then my thoughts went to Conrad Kain, who cut 600 steps up that face on his way to make the first ascent of Mount Robson over 100 years ago. Then he and his clients came down the south face. Absolutely amazing.
