- Description
- A colour landscape photograph. Mountains in the background fill just over half of the photograph. There is a light haze/fog over the mountains. Above the mountain peaks a strip of clear sky is visible. The sun is rising out of frame on viewers right. There are four peaks layering in front of one another and the closest one looks like a hill with trees on it. The bottom half and foreground of the photograph is a placid lake with a faint reflection of the mountains in it. On the horizon line, where the base of the mountains and the lake meet is a thick line of fog running across the photograph. In the bottom right hand corner of the photo, written in black ink, is the title, year and artist signature, “B. Spohr O’Hara ‘78”. Au verso there is a silver sticker at the bottom in the centre with black print, “MOUNT CORY FRAMES PO 1900 - 217 Bear St. BANFF, ALBERTA T0L 0C0 Phone (403) 762-5155”.

- Description
- In the foreground two mountain climbers are making their way through a series of blue-green ice blocks. To the viewer’s immediate right: the back of a climber, the thigh of his right leg, his bent left leg (in the act of climbing up), his left arm bent at the elbow with his hand resting on his brown ice axe. He is wearing a red down-filled parka with the hood up. The jacket has two badges on the upper left arm; the lower, larger badge is black and white and the upper badge is the Canadian flag in red and white. He is also wearing black mitts, brown ski pants, and on the partial view of his left leg and foot, red gaiters, brown boots with red laces and crampons. Ahead of him to the viewer’s left, another man is in the act of climbing, his body is turning to the left and he appears to be looking off in the distance. He is wearing eye goggles, a blue parka with grey fur around the collar and bottom, a red head cover, grey mitts and red gaiters. His right hand is resting on his ice axe. He appears to be a guide (Sherpa) because of his dark skin. To his right, and directly in front of the first climber and the ice blocks, is a towering serac of blue-green ice. Three of its jagged peaks at the top extend beyond our view. The snow on the viewer’s left is blue and white and there are exposed brown and green, snow-covered rocks to the viewer’s left. The sky above is a very deep blue.
