During the total solar eclipse I could see solar prominences with my naked eyes. This shot shows an absolutely enormous one, the tiny dot is Earth added for scale.

Less Is More Prominent

We shared a recent post that laid out the prominences in the mountain west...that is the majority of the high peaks seen on or near the Pacific Crest Trail. As I read the post I was surprised the second highest peak in Washington state, and the first major prominence one walks near as they head north toward Canada, Mount Adams, is low on the list. Its bigger brother/sister, Mount Rainier tops the prominence list. Mount Rainier checks in at 14,411 feet but in terms of prominence shrinks to 13,246 feet. Remember, prominence is the vertical distance between a mountain’s summit and its key col, which is the lowest point on the highest ridge or saddle connecting the mountain to adjacent mountains. 'Lowly' Mount Adams measures 12,276 feet or 8,116 feet in terms of prominence or nine out of ten on the list of top ten prominences.

That is all fine and good and really, who am I to dispute geographic height? I am a short person so I am well aware of height differentials. In the case of Mount Adams, for me there is a profound distinction. The first ever section I walked on the PCT was from the Columbia River north. Looking south we saw the beautiful spire of Mount Hood. Distinct in its own way. I can remember commenting that it reminded me of the peak you see at the beginning of a movie from Paramount Pictures.

Within a day or so we found ourselves walking along the snowy flanks of Mount Adams. Wow! Adams is a large white snow cone of a mountain. As we rounded it we could look up to its icy heights. Growing up in Kansas, being this close to such a prominence was awe inspiring. Actually it was probably a bit more like shock and awe inspiring.

Since that time Mount Adams has had a special place in my memory and my heart. Unlike its volcanic siblings further north in Washington and those further south in Oregon and beyond, it is not as noticeable to many people. Many of the other Cascade volcanoes are visible from places like Seattle or Portland or at the least along the I-5 corridor. Adams peeks out (no pun intended) at Portland on a clear day but otherwise is too far east up the Columbia to be readily recognized. I think this adds to its mystique for me.

Two weeks ago I found myself back near Mount Adams attempting to climb to its summit. Those original feelings of awe and attraction swept over me. The PCT brought me close but this experience would literally take me the next level. To gain the summit is not a technical climb. No ropes or harnesses but crampons are helpful. Even with all my thrilling feelings the journey up was still quite a grunt. Nevertheless those old original 'first meeting' feelings powered me upward.

I guess the best way for me to describe my feelings for this mountain is I have a crush on it. There. I said it. Like any crush the feeling is not always reciprocal. Adams likely didn't even know I was there but I did. Every step was an acknowledgement of my admiration. Reaching the top there was that big shot, Mount Rainier waving back. Nearby was the decapitated poor old Mount Saint Helens. In the far distance Glacier Peak and Mount Baker. shining in their icy exuberance. The length of the remaining northbound PCT stretches north past them. Mount Adams' prominence may be lowly in the record books but to me, he/she/them holds a much higher position. I would take Mount Adams anywhere if they would have me.

so, watched ep 1 of the atla live action and uhm, imagine not wanting one of your main characters to depict sexism because you believe it doesn’t read well in Current Times, so instead you double down on the character’s obsession towards leadership in order to give him that extra edge. but in order to make that work u have to make his sister quietly obedient instead of an outspoken leading presence that has the potential to overshadow him. because silencing a female character in order to write out a male character’s story arc of unlearning sexism is obviously a better and less sexist outcome.

#also the show made kyoshi say the opening of the show instead of katara cos apparently they’re obsessed with robbing katara of her voice #she’s literally just an entire different character and i cannot think of why except to make sokka look like a more prominent leader #which also goes entirely against sokka’s character trait of consistently feeling powerless #i don’t normally vent post about stuff like this but i’m just so baffled by this #atla #anna rambles #avatar the last airbender

Kinda Spoilers for Dune Part 2. You’ve been warned.

House Atreides is ridiculous, because what do you mean everyone from that family just looks like this?

Pretty is not even the right word for these four. They looks ethereal.

I find it so funny how adaptations and pop culture for Frankenstein feel the need to paint “Dr. Frankenstein” as either a batshit crazy old man or a hot mentally unstable guy in his 30s, when in reality Victor Frankenstein in the original novel is just a sickly gay autistic teenager, who does definitely not have a doctorate, written by a 17-year-old goth girl who created the genre of science fiction.

It’s just so funny to me how pop culture is just like, “yeah, Dr. Frankenstein, the ‘ooOoh my peers criticised my science but I’ll show them!’ And ‘it’s alive!’ guy.” when in reality Victor Frankenstein just shows up to class fully “uhm, achtually 🤓☝️” style, then proceeds to rant about his boyfriend best buddy and how hot and amazing he is for pages and pages and pages. What peers? His classmates who probably just know him as “oh, that one.”??? The man is a twink who dropped out of university and due to his avoidance of consequences (not his “whining”, bad character analysis, I see you) by the end he’s driven himself so far to his own demise that he’s just an absolute sopping wet cat of a man. Stop trying to age him up at the beginning or make him hotter or “more mature”, the public deserves to know this twink like we do. And please stop making the creature an inarticulate mess with literally no character to him whatsoever, give us our edgy “i just read this Bible fanfic and Satan is just like me fr” lad we know and love
