Today, when alpine tourists are taken to the top of Everest via fixed ropes, we forget what a monumental effort it took to climb the peak when Whittaker first did it.

Lovely photograph from Grant Bulloch.

And… a big ”thank you!” to the several dozen folks who reshared this photograph!

Thanks!

Thank you!

I enjoy many of k.g. Sambrano’s photographs — a worthy follow, I’d say.
