High on Mount Shuksan’s summit pyramid, a small team of climbers makes their final push toward the top as the last light of day brushes the mountain in warm alpenglow. The snow-sculpted ridges and steep faces glow against the deepening blue of evening, revealing the beauty and challenge of one of the North Cascades’ most iconic peaks. This fine art aerial photograph captures both human scale and alpine grandeur — a fleeting moment of courage, light, and isolation above the rugged wilderness.
