Let There be Light

            May 30, 1994, Barlow Pass Area, North Cascades Washington

This here shot taken in the deep forest of the Washington Cascade Mountains near Monte Cristo on a climb attempt of Del Campo Peak.

The day started out with my climbing partner and me hiking the Monte Cristo Road from Barlow Pass in the thick fog. In one mile we started up the steep Weeden Creek (Gothic Basin) Trail through thick forest, and still in the fog or clouds. Hiking higher up in elevation, we started getting above the lower fog or cloud deck but still slightly foggy in the forest. Then suddenly, the sun came out allowing the sun rays to penetrate through the trees in the light fog. I had just enough time to get my camera out from my backpack to take just two pictures, and even by then the sun started going back behind the cloud cover. 

Due to low visibility and unstable snow conditions, we didn't summit Del Campo Peak, but did get a lot of snow climbing in up at the Gothic Basin area. 

 Scanned from a 35mm negative using a Pentax PZ-10 camera, Pentax FA 28-80mm f/3.5-4.7 lens.
