A white man, wearing black snow trousers and a red snow jacket with black segments on the elbows, makes his way uphill through rocky terrain covered in snow, using walking poles. He looks forwards, at the way ahead. He is wearing a white rucksack with a rope attached to the top. Behind him, another figure follows him uphill, also carrying a rucksack with a rope on top. The weather looks windy and cold, with snow swirling around them. Beyond the hillside, everything is grey, the view blocked by the weather.

A white woman, wearing matching red snow trousers and jacket, with black segments on the elbows and knees, and a harness, stands in the snow, holding an ice axe with one hand and a snow white helmet on top of her head. The hood of her snow jacket is up, and her firey hair pokes out, caught in the wind. Snow swirls up around her, and behind her looms a bright snowy mountain face. The sky is light grey and snowy.
