Summit video
Rime-Covered Ledges on Winter Mount Lafayette
Thick rime coats Mount Lafayette's ledges before the panorama opens across rolling white ridges.
Pebbled ice wraps the vertical face of a summit slab and spreads across wind-packed ground. The camera moves outward to a broad series of snow-covered mountains and dark forested valleys.
Photographer’s field note
The close rime texture establishes the intensity of the weather before the wider winter view appears.
