20 miles through the rain forest. After 2 days and 20 miles we finally reached the glacier. Time for harnesses, rope, and crampons as we picked our way up the blue glacier. It was unusually dry for this time of year hence the blue ice. Crossing the bottom of the glacier while looking up at the ice fall was one of the most magical moments of my life. Gear clinking and the sound of crampons crunching into ice. I’m counting down the days until I can be back on a rope team.
