Hawk & Climber
Hawk
So you've been scaling peaks for weeks—ever think about how the light changes from the summit compared to the base? I’ve got a couple of shots that make me wonder if the best angles are only found after a tough climb. What's your take on that?
Climber
Light changes a lot, doesn't it? From the base the sun is steady, but once you’re up, every ray is a reminder of the effort it took to get there. The angles that feel right often come after the climb when your body is tired but your mind is clear. It’s like the summit is a lens that magnifies the moments you’ve earned. So yeah, the best shots usually come after a hard push.

That’s exactly how I see it—when the climb's over, the light splits cleanly over the ridge, no smudges, just the clean, honest cut of a sunrise or sunset. Makes the whole effort feel worthwhile. What’s your next target?
Climber
I’m eyeing a quiet, lesser‑known ridge up in the Dolomites next. It’s not about fame, just a place where the wind carries the sunrise clean and the path forces you to listen to yourself. That’s where I’ll be next.
