A Snowy Day on the Glacier (A Chronology)

Today my friend from high school, Jordan Sanders, and I rode our bikes across the frozen lake to the mendenhall glacier where we walked around till we found a good face to set up an anchor above, rappel down into and ice climb back out. Its kinda frustrating trying to get good pictures the act of ice climbing and belaying both require two hands so neither activity is conducive to pictures, but we did our best. We spent the whole day on the ice, it was dark when we left and dark when we got back. Afterwards we went out to eat.




































The Real Bird

This is our Love bird, we call him "birdus"

I caught him on an exceptional dirty day so he was very eager to get cleaned up.

The trip so far, a chonology (We serve a risen savior...)

Here are some pictures I've taken so far, still working on some videos.
So near the bottom are pictures of my brothers Elliot(with the iron) and Justin is the profile. The ocean pictures are pretty much in front of my house. Jordan, who rides his bike 45 min to work and back every day is in the green flash.




































So tomorrow, Jordan and I are going to go ice climbing. I'll have some great pictures/videos up soon.
