Mount Jeez overlooks the Malabar Farm and much of the Pleasant Valley. In its actuality it really is just a big hill. Mount Jeez lays in a great line, like a spine of land, providing a crystal clear view of the sky. The rumbling and roaring white wave surge down the mountain side, at some point the wrinkled mountain seems to be cocoon quite whenever a right of snow covered the sky punching the mountain. During the winter season, the snow festoons the mountain peak and embalmed with the tiaras of the powdery snow, while the foot of the mountain is covered with mist in the morning. The purple sky reflected the beautiful and flaky snow that covers the mountain like a blanket while silence remains in the air as the animals sleep and hibernate in the winter. The mountain normally remains white-peaked but nothing like the neat line. The snow normally reaches down the cap in craggy white fingers and the trees shine like jewels in the sunset.

The lower sections of the Mount Jeez passes wore a cloak of greenery and the peaks crowned with the headdress of ice. However, the mountain remains covered with a rug of tress, green, yellow, scarlet and orange but their bare tops scarfed and beribboned with snow. Additionally, Mount Jeez provides the view of the rolling hills of the pleasant valley and beloved Malabar Farm.

When depicting the tremendous height and abruptness of the mountain he states that “It was like a window ledge on a skyscraper, no more than fourteen or sixteen inches wide”. Bryson’s use of the simile establishes an illustrative image in the reader’s mind and creates a lasting impression of the situation. This improves the author’s tone as it details the uncertainty and discouragement the men were facing during the hike. Furthermore, Bryson advances his narrative and tone with imagery as he adapts to the trail when it becomes hazardous with oncoming snow and freezing temperatures. Bryson describes his surroundings with a bleak and dreary attitude, for example, he states that “the path was broken by steep, thickly bouldered streams, frozen solid and ribbed with blue

Two men on different mountains, in different decades, sit atop snowy, windy mountains, reflecting on what got them on such a cold, towering mound of rock and snow. Jon Krakauer tells his story of climbing the Devil’s Thumb “a dozen or so years,” ago, whereas Erik Weihenmayer, a blind man, pulls you into the middle of his story of climbing Mt. Everest with a team of nineteen. Krakauer, in an attempt to escape his boring, dead-end job, ventures to climb a mountain in Alaska by himself. Jon did not succeed on the route he had originally planned on taking, but did achieve his goal of reaching the summit of the Devil’s Thumb by going a different course. However; Jon found that climbing the mountain was unsatisfactory. Weihenmayer reached the summit of Everest with few problems. Erik states that some obstacles during climbing were made invalid because of his blindness. Although both men are in similar situations, they both have very differing experiences on these summits.
Meanwhile at the bottom of the Throne, the highest mountain on Roc-A-Fella peaks, halted was Jermaine awaiting the arrival of his accomplices Nas and Kendrick. The three knowing the struggles they’re all in, they have decided to visit the top of the Throne to speak with the gods. To seek answers on the snow and how to stop it. As they battle mythical creatures of mass proportion and production, they withstand every test to get to the top. In each battle one of the three accomplices uses the snow to defeat the mighty creatures and furthermore their quest. As they reach the top of the mountain, they come to a
Driving down the Franconia Notch Parkway, the mountain walls rise up around me and consume me. On one side, the guardrail separates me from the cars speeding past in the opposite direction. On the other side, nothing is separating me from the slopes. My eyes slowly follow the smooth curvature of the faces of the mountains. Wind, rain, snow, and ice have shaped the rock in such a way that the rock looks like silk sheets. As my eyes take in more, they come across the sharp jagged edges and ridges where rocks have recently fallen and taken parts of the mountain as their casualties. The sun peeks from behind the summit and causes the great mountains to cast shadows on their smaller counterparts. Crimson, goldenrod, bronze, and saffron leaves dance across the air as the cool gusts of wind blow them along. Soon the trees will become bare and blend with the barren slopes above the treeline, but for now the contrast between the two is unmistakably noticeable.
From the valley, the trail is the going to follow a gentle grade, as it passes through the meadows, trees, and willow thickets. The trail then takes you to a steep rockslide climb, and then spills over to the eastern side of the Maroon Peak. Once you reach the top of the slide, turn around, and enjoy some spectacular views of the valley beneath.
Standing over eight thousand feet in the atmosphere is the translucent alpine body of water, Tenaya Lake. You can sense the decreased temperature as the sudden gusts lash at your body. As you nibble the enviornment, the diminished oxygen is prevalent. The wind shrills across the lake as it makes its way to the tree line. The numerous sloping mountains encircle the metallic lake. The aroma of immense pines and glorious wildflowers floats throughout the zone. The cherished mountainous Tenaya Lake, above eight thousand feet in elevation, is without a doubt, one of God's fascinating
From the trail’s official terminus, the ridge flattened out before rising sharply. This repeated several times, each time stretching higher and steeper, before finally flattening out a thousand feet above our position. On this final shelf sat the summit, hidden from view by thick clouds.
‘Climbed lone Nebo’s Mount to see, Alabama, Alabama!’ You painfully hike up the last bit of Alabama’s highest mountain, with an elevation of 2,411ft. When you get to the top, a feeling of pride washes over you for conquering this colossal mountain. You’re so thirsty, you could drink the whole ocean. Instead, you drain the rest of your quarter-full water bottle. You’re as starving as a shark, ready to kill its’ prey. You eat your whole sandwich in 30 seconds. Now you sit down, feel the breeze, and enjoy the beautiful Alabama scenery. With the clear blue skies, you can see beautiful trees, bushes, and grass growing abundantly throughout the mountain. Wildlife such as deer and rabbits flock around the sparse areas of
Peak and Sun-Jo started up the mountain the next morning. It was tough. The weather outside was less than
The hot, arid air burned into my soul as millions of needles pricked my delicate skin. Beads of sweat coursed down my face as I turned towards the window facing the barren desert surrounding me. My family and I were on an ever sought vacation to the Grand Canyon, yet we had to drive from New York to Arizona and I radiated impatience throughout the journey. Walls of heat shrouded me as I gasped for air, yet my efforts were fruitless, swallowing nothing but fire. As my lungs collapsed, I looked out the window and into the heart of the looming sun, taunting me from afar. Suddenly, my eyes gave out and sweat and tears engulfed them till they took their true form. A forest blanketed with soft and gleaming snow, blemished by the phrase: “Only 10 more minutes.” However, I was awakened from my revery by a vehement cry as I gazed into the eyes of tattered vultures, of every discrepancy, with an unforgettably shrill voice. “Who dares enter our land!” they screeched dissonantly. Trembling, my eyes flashed over the sun and I was standing in a perpetual desert, with vulture's eyes glued to me. I froze with fear, though the sun baked my skin.
Jon Krakauer’s account gave light to numerous miniscule details about what happened on his trip and in general on how to climb the world’s tallest mountain from the close quarters of Kathmandu to the expansiveness of the top of the world to in-between of the drama at the south side base camp in Nepal. It made me fall in love with the job of being a mountain guide.
The hot, arid air burned into my soul as I faced the barren desert surrounding me. My family and I were on a long-awaited vacation to the Grand Canyon, yet we had to drive over 15 hours - I radiated impatience throughout the journey. Walls of heat shrouded me as I gasped for air - my efforts were fruitless, however, swallowing nothing but fire. As the fire in my lungs grew, I looked out the window and into the looming suns heart. Suddenly, my eyes collapsed and tears engulfed them till they took their true form; a forest blanketed with soft, gleaming snow. However, I was evoked from my reverie by a vehement cry and I was staring into the eyes of tattered vultures, of every discrepancy, who recited a prophecy only I could hear.
I have always found nature to be so amazing from the hundreds of trees and flowers to the animals within the forest. Experiencing nature is one of the best things that could happen in your life. I have always lived near the woods so I can experience nature every day. I have always felt calm when I go into the woods so I go there when I feel stressed. I lay in my hammock for a while or go put my feet into the icy cold water in the creek to get away from the world and just be at peace. To get away from the judgmental glares and the expectations from people.
