Basic Glacier Climb - Eldorado Peak/Inspiration Glacier

Carpooling encouraged, especially with the leader, who as it happens, doesn't have a car.

Group meeting location will be Marblemount Ranger Station on Saturday morning, 7AM. Individual carpools will arrange meeting times and locations separately.

Students should be very comfortable traveling on snow and dealing with exposure.

Be warned that the boulder field is tough going requiring sturdy ankles and a good balance. The river crossing just after leaving the cars can be quite challenging depending on the current state of fallen logs. Will discuss more during pre-trip email coordination. The first day will involve +5700' elevation gain with overnight packs--leader will be screening students to verify they have demonstrated sufficient fitness.

Priority is also given to 2019 BCC students who are in need of a glacier climb for graduation credit. Please include in your application email whether you have completed any glacier climb this season for graduation credit.
