We only had about an hour of light left. As you can see, between the clouds lower down and all fresh snow over our tracks on the way back, we almost missed the right trail on the way down.

Summit of Mt Rainier - No crowds to greet us after FWA of Central Buttress
of Willis Wall - major butthurt. But butthurt would turn to real hurt. This
was 20 minutes before sunset and no bivy gear to speak of and the wind was
already 40 knots and rising. The descent of Liberty Ridge in the dark was,
well, somewhat memorable. Did I mention that later that night the weather
station at nearby Crystal Mt would record 105 mph gusts 7000' below us?

Here's one looking down from the top of one of the crags near Boulder. Does that count as a summit shot?
A new take on "butt shots."

Thanks for the kind words, Gene. It is a special summit, spiritual. It felt inappropriate to sign the same register as so many of the greats of Sierra mountaineering.
Baboquivari has the same vibe, like being in the presence of I'itoi up there. We left a gift for him.
Tohono O'odham storytellers shared the following story with Ruth Murray Underhill in the late 1930s, which she recorded in her book, Singing For Power:
The world was made by Earth-maker out of the dirt and sweat which he scraped from his skin... the flat earth met the sky with a crash like that of falling rocks, and from the two was born Iitoi, the protector of Papagos. He had light hair and a beard. Iitoi and Earth-maker shaped and peopled the new world, and they were followed everywhere by Coyote, who came to life uncreated and began immediately to poke his nose into everything. In this new world there was a flood, and the three agreed before they took refuge that the one of them who should emerge first after the subsidence of the waters should be their leader and have the title of Elder Brother. It was Earth-maker, the creator, who came forth first, and Iitoi next, but Iitoi insisted on the title and took it. Iitoi "brought the people up like children" and taught them their arts, but in the end he became unkind and they killed him.... But Iitoi, though killed, had so much power that he came to life again. Then he invented war. He decided to sweep the earth of the people he had made. He needed an army and for this purpose he went underground and brought up the Papagos. They live in a land scattered with imposing ruins which belonged... to the Hohokum, "the people who are gone". Iitoi drove them, some to the north and some to the south... "Iitoi had a song for everything". Though his men did the fighting, Iitoi confirmed their efforts by singing the enemy into blindness and helplessness. Iitoi has retired from the world and lives, a little old man, in a mountain cave. Or, perhaps he has gone underground.
Ruth Murray Underhill was the sister of Robert Underhill.

Scotty Vincik on the summit of Mount Mausolus in the Revelation Mountains, Alaska. This was a particularly special summit for me, as it was the peak's first ascent. It was also the hardest climb of my life. Although I've gone on to climb bigger mountains, Mausolus remains the most special. It took everything we had...we slept in a hanging bivy (without sleep), we went 40 hours without water and we hallucinated on the descent. I had tried the peak for three years in a row with my friend Seth Holden before he died in 2010 in a plane crash not far from the Revelations. As we stood atop the peak on March 17, 2011, I scattered his ashes on the summit. It is a moment I will never forget. In the ensuing years, I have returned and made first ascents of/upon almost every peak in the background. A special place, indeed.
