On the rocky, snow-encrusted summit of Katahdin, Maine’s tallest mountain, two men wrestled into dress shirts, suit jackets and ties on Feb. 7, their fingers growing numb from the cold. Once neatly dressed, they both struck a pose of mock seriousness for the camera, which they’d duct-taped to a trekking pole a few feet away. Both experienced mountaineers, Steve Vose, 49, of Augusta, and Scott Fisher, 54, of Ellsworth, were recreating a photo that they’d taken atop the mountain together 15 years prior. The business suits were meant to jokingly relay the message: It’s just another day at the office — for an avid hiker.
