Morning Glory on Roosevelt East Face: Limited Edition Framed Print

Morning Glory on Roosevelt East Face: Limited Edition Framed PrintThis beautiful scene was captured on one of those look, but dont touch days. A solid storm had refreshed the snowpack overnight but dawn broke clear, and on this late March morning the sun came strong. The rolling balls of snow in the foreground gave us all of the information we needed about the growing instability on the bigger, more dangerous faces above. Time for a cup of tea and a reroute to some shadier slopes. Each limited edition print includes

soft hairy leaves that almost magically shed water droplets off each toothed point

which are an extra special treat when kissed with the late light of a winter’s day

Perhaps nowhere else on this trek better encapsulated the magic of Lofoten than this vista from Markan where flawless granite big walls lead to emerald meadows with winding streams flowing down to empty white sand beaches lapped with turquoise waves

Endless credit to my good friend Brian Fletcher for envisioning and then navigating us to the unlikely panel of snow hanging on the near-vertical northeast face

The concept of ‘the flow state’ has gained popularity in culture at-large of late
