Sunset light on Capitol Peak (14,130') taken from the summit of Mt. Daly during a grueling three day spring ski tour.
In July 2023, I climbed Capitol‘s infamous 'Knife Edge’ in the dark in order to photograph sunrise from its summit.
To my knowledge, there have only been a few people to climb the route in the dark and photograph sunrise
from up top so was a special experience to make it all happen!
On this journey, I backpacked in with a 60 pound pack as I started off in trail runners, carrying my skis,
boots, ice axe, crampons & camera gear, which made for a slog!
Getting to where this image was taken required climbing the ridge you see in the image;
I had to then down-climb the ridge in the dark and arrived to my tent just before midnight.
No water was available so uncooked ramen was devoured at 1 a.m. I then arose at 5 a.m.
the following the morning to shoot sunrise. I then skied back down to Capitol Lake (as seen in the bottom right) and
when the trail returned to mostly dirt, threw the ski gear back on my pack and eventually returned to the car several hours later.
Was completely wiped out from the journey but having some of the most beautiful mountains in the state all to yourself is hard to beat!
Capitol is also dramatic in the fall when the aspen groves surrounding the peak turn to a marvelous yellow and orange.
