20/12/09 - Glacier

Today we climbed a glacier and I discovered that with crampons on my boots I feel like I could stand on vertical walls.

Below is a picture of me looking cool (ouch) with an ice pick.
I think the next picture gives a good idea of the scale of the glacier. This was one big-ass block of ice.

While going through a crevice, noticing that I was about to take a photo Beau decided to be funny. This almost ended badly as his tongue nearly got stuck. I would have been amused if I didn't need to get past him.

We were able to look very adventurous with all the rope climbs and descents.

This is the view from close to the edge of the glacier. We went a lot higher than this but I liked how this photograph came out.

This was a very good day, and another where I took more photos than I know what to do with. I can now add glacier to the list of awesome environments I've visited.
