The azure skies and rugged northeast face of Mt. Neva provide the only contrast to this otherwise monochromatic scene near Nederland, Colorado. Lake Dorothy has already built a frosty cloak for the season. Arapaho Pass Trail, Indian Peaks. 11/7/04.

Beautiful, ccd333...
There is a poetic "line of weakness" up the left buttress of the mtn left center for its climb. |

This is quite a nice shot; very nicely handled given the terrain and high-contrast. Tom, on Point Pelee, Canada |

Hi Tom,
"Line of weakness" usually means the most straightforward route up a mountain. It is not the most difficult route. Imagine a series of interconnected lines. See adaptation of photo. Note: This "line" is not ideal...it is next to avalanche trough...Weather conditions also could preclude it. These conditions would be: Rain, >1" of snow/hour, recent/present high winds, recent rapid change in temp. "When in doubt...go remote". Save the climb and yourself for another day. |
