Pirsig: "The snowfields become heavy and show steep banks where snowplows have been. The banks become four feet high, then six feet, then twelve feet high. We move through twin walls, almost a tunnel of snow. Then the tunnel opens onto dark sky again and when we emerge we see we’re at the summit."
This photograph was taken along the broad flat tundra plain that you go through before actually cresting the summit. The snow tunnel on the summit was so deep that no parking was possible for a similar photograph. The walls of the snow tunnel were easily 15 or 20 feet tall. |
