Which was I most proud of?
๐ 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 ๐
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 ๐ฅพ
Both of these glaciers are found in British Columbia, Canada ๐จ๐ฆ
