what a good photo 👍👍👍

One close up and this would be a wonderful inaturalist observation and probably the only one on flora in the area

You're absolutely right, in both instances You're climbing things (even the same mountain occasionally) it's just the means by which you get there. The TL;DR explanation is "climbing" is specifically centered around vertical cliffs, while mountaineering is a more all-encompasing sport focused on sumitting mountains. Basically climbing is more specific than mountaineering.

If you're curious to know more, look into the Yosemite Decimal System, it is how climbs/mountains are rated in difficulty (in the US) and gives a quick numerical value as to how hard a mountain is to summit (via a particular route) and gives a rough idea of what to expect.

I think the difference is in the kind of climbing. Like vertical wall or just a mountain.

Yeah I was confused. I thought we had a new tectonic collision.

>Canada isn’t on here enough

Are you being serious now? I would say the opposite -- this sub needs more content from the rest of the world. USA and Canada are well covered here already.

Absolutely stunning.

lovely colour palette ❤️

Pardon my ignorance but what is the difference between a mountaineer and a climber, don't they both climb things?

Keep showing stuff like this and you will start having a lot of illegal US immigrants

Someone should polish those mountains

The way the story goes, the mountaineer that "discovered" the range was frustrated he couldn't summit the mountains, as he was a mountaineer not a climber, so he named them the unclimbables. Ironically enough, just over 5 years later it saw its first ascent. It's now considered one of the 50 best climbs of North America,

I thought it was unclimbable?

Looks like terribly unstable face. I can see cleavage marks and rock fall scars that are pretty fresh

Cool desktop background for sure.

Wow, beautiful photo

wow, that doesn't even look real. looks like something made up for a movie or something.

Nikon D800 with Sigma Art 14mm f1.8.

Which camera you have used?

Ugh so true - “here pass me everyone’s phone so i can take the same exact picture for everyone”

Boo. Go somewhere original. Literally anywhere. Road ditch would be better. Over photographed….

Thanks

Incredible photography OP, Canada isn’t on here enough. Beautiful country
