100% agree that being on a glacier with the alpene glow starting to hit you is life changing. Once you experience a view like that everything else pales in comparison.

[@57hours]

We all felt the call of the mountains!

[@KevAlberta]

Amazing

[@BenNuProductions]

Thanks for the video. How come no guides seem to have climbs available in winter? Is it because the low temperature and too-deep snow?

[@GreatDomski]

The snow is so deep and powdery, it's a combination of dangerous and frustrating/futile. Skiing becomes big in the backcountry tho

Too bad Abbott hut is toast now. Or will be by summer 2022.

[@shannonbryant9563]

Agreed but another beautiful hut in its place.

@@shannonbryant9563 perhaps they won't. There are certainly good arguments why they shouldn't or won't.
