Nice shots. Would be useful to know what aircraft (when 3rd-party) folks are showing in pics, & locations too so we can follow in your tracks…

Easy! But could he take off again?
I was a real life glacier pilot on Denali for a number of years. Slope is the big thing! At 14 thou he had trouble re starting his plane and took off dead stick (no power) and landed on a nearby frozen lake. And no landing at 14K in a normally aspirated aircraft is not easy on a steeper slope as power is needed to cushion the flare. Landings are made with considerable power in the flare and landing.
