TREY RATCLIFF: 1K1K PROJECT

From the very southern tip of the Americas. It is a bitterly cold place, even in the summer. I believe that the glaciation period is relatively recent, so the peaks are extra jagged and everything feels fresh and raw.

I can"t believe there are actually people that climb this thing! It was hard enough getting myself up high enough on a distant peak to take this shot. Then again, I"m not exactly in mountain-climbing shape. I"ve heard the old answer to the question, "Why do you climb the mountain?" The answer is always, "Because it"s there". Funny -- that is my same answer when people ask me why I don"t want to climb the mountain.
