Climb Every Mountain

This week's theme is easy. It is on Mountain/s! A mountain, or mountains, should be the main subject of your photo.Contest Rules:

1. Any digital photo or digitally-scanned photo relevant to the theme will be accepted within the contest period. In case there's a gray area, or you're not sure if the picture is suitable, check with me first.

2. Please resize your digital photo to no more than 800 x 600 or 600 x 800 pixels. You may also crop your picture if you wish. You are also allowed to adjust the brightness and contrast of your picture but these should not dramatically alter the look of the picture. But other than those, any form of picture editing or modification is not allowed. This is a photo contest, not a picture editing/special effect contest. You may add a watermark or your name/nickname to the photo for identification purposes.

3. Upload your photos to any of the photo servers such as imageshack or photobucket. Then post it the relevant contest thread and link your picture using the img command. PM me if you do not know how. Alternatively, you may simply upload your image file to PF, and then have the full image displayed in your post.

4. Only ONE picture per member per contest. Once a picture is posted, it cannot be changed other than a total withdrawl by that member from that week's photo contest. Exceptions will be made for modification to comply with the rules, such as resizing.

5. At the end of the contest period, I will open a poll and every PF member can vote for the picture they like best.

6. Note that in case we have a large number of entries, I will do the polling in more than one thread. If that's the case, you can vote in each of the polling threads. The photos will be assigned in the polling threads in the order they were submitted.

7. The photo of the subject must be something that you took directly, not via in intermediary medium, and not taken by someone else. Unless otherwise noted, a photo of another photo, painting, print, etc. does not qualify.

8. You can use a picture only once. Once it is used in a contest, it cannot be reused in another contest.

9. Please post only pictures meant for submission in this thread. Photos not meant for submission must not be posted in the contest thread. Posting of more than one photos by a member may result in an automatic disqualification from the week's contest.

There probably isn't a mountain in Scotland that can compete with Kanchenjunga. But, perhaps the Matterhorn can:

Washington state in the U.S. certainly has its share of volcanoes, one of which is Mt. Baker. This peak isn't the largest at only about 10,750' in elevation, but it is probably my favorite. I've been to the top seven times. I took this picture on one of my earliest climbs, back in about 1984.

that looks like one of those roads they film one of those trucking shows on where they are often very winding and impossibly narrow :eek:

It probably is. It connects Tatev monastery to civilization and the automobile ride up the mountain is one hour long. I went "by air" riding the "Wings of Tatev", which is the longest (5.7 km) reversible aerial tramway built in only one section and is in the Guinness book of records. The ride was only 10 minutes. I took the photo about halfway into the ride.

Mt. Olympus, in Olympic National Park. I took this one in late September of 2014. Mt. Olympic isn't very high, at just less than 8,000', but it gets huge amounts of snow each year, accumulating glaciers up to 500' thick. The hike we were doing was seven days, covering about 55 miles. At one point we were much closer to Olympus, approximately two miles from it.
