Ila & Ray Salemme, Mons Icefield, Canada, 1990.

According to Ila: "I included the photo of Ray Salemme and me mostly because of the beautiful ice river in the background, so typical of the big mountains in Canada and Alaska that John loves... On Iron Man (with Ray Salemme) sparks were jumping from John's crampons, which were tied to his pack, as we rappeled. Iron Man is a rock peak rising out of a glacier." (Note: the sparks were jumping from the crampons because they were caught in an electrical storm.)
