What may be Alpine climbers, with an ice axe.
This web page shows some vintage photos of mountain climbers.

Climbers on the summit of Mount Whitney (14,494 feet or 4,418 meters) on July 17, 1948, at 5:35 a.m. Mount Whitney, in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, is the tallest mountain in the continental United States and requires a permit to climb. It was first climbed in 1873 and the summit can be reached by an eight and one-half mile trail, which requires an ice axe and crampons in the spring and early-summer, or by technical routes. The climber sitting down, in this photo, may be feeling the effects of the high altitude. The highest mountain in the United States and North America is Mount McKinley (20,320 feet or 6,194 meters), in Alaska. |
