Basic Glacier Climb - Eldorado Peak/Inspiration Glacier
Stunning scenery from this North Cascades gem. Iconic knife edge traverse and hike around the edge of the ice cap. A really good introduction to alpine climbing at its best! The approach hike is a bit of a weed out, so be in shape to sign up for this one.
