Jon Krakauer Instagram – On this date 45 years ago I took this selfie at my high camp on the Devils Thumb, striking a celebratory pose after surviving the sketchy descent from the summit without a rope. I was 23 years old. 2nd photo: Looking up at the Thumb from my basecamp before heading up to high camp. 3rd photo: My high camp on the Thumb. 4th photo: Looking across the southeast face at dawn as I departed high camp for the summit. 5th photo: A shot of the summit I took to prove I’d been there, looking east toward Mt. Burkett. | Posted on 18/May/2022 03:29:13
