    Darwin, i did glacier NP in late july a year or two back and on some of the trails i really wished i had an ice axe like that. There are sections where the trail crosses chutes of snow which are very sketchy. Also make sure to bring gps (i like gaia app) because the snow covers the trail and it’s easy to get lost/disoriented. hope this helps! enjoy!

      I have done long stretches of the AT and have spent some time with through hikers and for some reason many of them did the same thing, cold soaking. Since my stove BRS and Toaks pot weigh nothing, I really don’t get it but for many it’s a thing. No hot coffee leave me out. He is carrying that Anker and for his needs it’s a must buy it’s super heavy. He is very light but because he films his light gear is made heavy carrying all
      If his filming gear. I also don’t know how he does water carry’s with that pack. Desert travel with eight liters must be brutal. He does it and he is young.
