Glacier Circle Hut Attempt

Through the dripping rain forest we trudged.



Across filthy avalanche debris strafed by rockfall.



Dodging scary creatures emerging from the spring snow.



Weaving our way amongst the yawning crevasses.



And then we waited, wetly, for a break in the weather.



Fought the good fight we did! Alas 'twas not to be! And the Glacier Circle Hut awaits our next visit for another year.

  1. awesome. if that's not the old college try, i'm not sure what is. for sure an epic trip, even if you got turned back. Some things you can't plan for and you clearly were prepared for anything. the rest of the people just go to places they can drive. i love adventures where you cross so any different conditions. feels weird carrying snow gear and you should be wearing shorts.

    1. Thanks Ryan. Although if driving up to the glacier was an option we would have taken it on this day :)
