“Resurrection (1)”
Description:
Photographed during a climb up the Worm Flows Route on Mount St. Helens as dawn illuminated Mount Adams from behind. Both peaks are Cascade Range stratovolcanoes known for their non-technical but challenging hiking routes.
Story:
From halfway up the south slope of Mount St. Helens, I watched Mount Adams glow from behind as dawn pushed over its ridgeline. Washington’s second-largest mountain stood massive and shadowed, a stratovolcano surrounded by nothing that could match its scale.
Both Mount St. Helens and Mount Adams feel like giants — not just in height, but in presence. When you climb them, you’re moving through something larger than yourself, something that doesn’t care if you succeed or turn back.
And that’s exactly why the ascent feels like a kind of resurrection. Sweat gathers beneath my pack straps, rolls down my face, and freezes on my jacket. Every step burns a little deeper into my legs, forcing me to shed whatever version of myself started the climb.
By the time the light breaks fully, I’m breathing hard, skin cold, heart hammering — but new. Climbing these mountains strips everything unnecessary away. Each drop of sweat, each breath in thin air, pulls me closer to the person I’m trying to become.
