A Time-Lapse of Burning Man 2013 As Seen From Miles Away Atop a Mountain

By Rusty Blazenhoff on September 16, 2013

Jason Phipps and his team made this time-lapse video of Burning Man 2013 from the top of Old Razorback Mountain, aka Trego Peak, which has “an elevation of 5495 feet above sea level” and is “over 4 linear miles from the center of Black Rock City.” He says, “Climbing to the peak of Old Razorback has become a challenging and rewarding tradition for our team. This is a view that most will never experience in person. It is our passion to share it with the world through the lens of a camera. Climbing 1,888 feet in less than a mile over steep, unstable mountainside is a dangerous and exhilarating mission. This year we deployed cameras during the build week, capturing the growth of the city and ending it the night of the burn.”
