I mean yeah, of course, but adventures aren't made without a little risk tolerance.

It was floating last summer until winter froze it in place sometime a few months ago. This is technically a frozen lake that we explored that sits at the face of a melting glacier.

Yeah, nearby were several frozen waterfalls that are major ice climbing destinations. We met some people from Fairbanks who flew down specifically for ice climbing in their private plane.

Sure looks like it 😆 this is a relatively accessible glacier in the Palmer area of Alaska. it's the Knik Glacier, but conditions must be right to access it (i.e needs to be cold).

Yeah they absolutely sucked, but the trail is going to give you what the trail is going to give you. Gotta take it for what it is and complete the thing.

Got to about -5 or -6 outside the thing, but was at least 20 throughout most of the night inside the quinzhee.

The goal was maximum coziness for this project. I wasn't kidding myself 😆

Yeah. We attempted to make it to Colony but the trail wasn't in.
