Darel Parker on the Summit of Capitan Peak, NM

This is a shot of me on the summit of Capitan Peak in New Mexico (April 1994). The summit is 10,083' above sea level, and the climb took us about 9 hours with way-overloaded packs. I live in flat South Texas, near the coast, and this was my first and only trip over 10,000'. Photo by Holger Olholm (Canon EOS), who also organized the expedition. Thanks Holger!
