之前友人A拉我去爬Mt Whitney的時候,我還想這禿山上連個樹也沒有,有什麼可看的。之前在我概念裡美景的標準就是綠色 = 美。後來有天做了一個夢,夢到要發大洪水了,正好美國下48州最高峰就在加州,我們就決定往那兒去。醒來想了想覺得有道理,應該先去一趟探個路,終於下定決心去了。#徙 #Capy的铁蹄 Image
一開始想查為什麼這個山要叫這名字,發現Whitney本人作為地質學家試圖攀山結果放棄了,另一個地質學家也做出了嘗試,結果爬錯了山,爬成了隔壁的 Mt Langley 後來山腳下鎮子裡的三個居民,在一次釣魚旅途中第一次有紀錄的爬上了這座山峰,還給山峰起名 Fisherman's Peak (箭頭指Mt Whitney) Image
可惜1981年國家地理測繪局決定以Mt Whitney命名這座山,因為Whitney不僅是地理學家還是測繪項目的出資人(有錢真係大晒 gif)雖然山下小鎮的居民沒能拿到想要的名字,還是一起出錢修了山上第一條步道,1904年竣工。四天之後,山上就有了有紀錄的第一例死亡:漁業局的員工在山頂吃午飯被閃電劈死了。 Image
