[James · Rating 1 out of 5]

Half the photos are phoney staged photos where the person is just a foot off the ground, you can tell these because they are close up & you can't see more than a foot or 2 below their feet.
Mostly you just see a steep piece of ice with sky behind it.

The photos weren't taken while people were actually climbing a route,
just a pose.

This book makes me so emotional about the Cascades
