Climbing Sunrises

Chris Miller wrote:Back when I was hard core into skydiving we used to climb to altitude before sunrise and watch the sun come up from the plane. Then, the sun would set again in freefall and we would watch it come up again after we landed. That was pretty cool.

some photos from the cirque of the towers in the winds a few years back.

Sunrise from the GT Ledge.

Route: High E, Gunks.

One of the best I've seen was descending down the Crestone in the dark to bunch of front-(de)ranged freaks as the sun was just started to hit the peaks.

For some reason, sunrises are good when your hands and face are numb; but it was the friends that warmed my heart.

sunrise over Monte Rosa (from the summit of the Matterhorn):

Have to give credit to my friend Brian for this shot. He would never put it out there... so i will for him.

Sun set (sorry) after a storm while climbing City of Rocks last Spring.

Yesterday from the Teepee glacier:

Thanks for all the submissions. Great shots! This is what I want when I start these threads.

I can tell right now I need to get to the Matterhorn area. :)

GREAT stuff!!! Keep it going!

A couple shots from this morning:
