Which was I most proud of?
π Wedgemount (that route was CHALLENGING, and my best friend and I mapped it ourselves)
Hiking to glaciers seems to be becoming more accessible as they recede, which is a bitter sweet feeling.
I love that I can reach them through genuinely reasonable hikes/scrambles but it saddens me to think of how big they once were π
Even looking at photos of Wedgemount from a year or two ago the glacier reached the upper lake, of which it now sits many many metres higher.
Still, these hikes were incredible and the views just as impressive π₯Ύ
Both of these glaciers are found in British Columbia, Canada π¨π¦
