DAY 6
Group 1 - The Dome / Group 2 - Bluewater Glacier
Today the group split into 2 groups with one group going back up to the
Dome so they could catch some turns coming down and the other group went for
a tour up onto the Bluewater Glacier. |

It was worth smiling if you survived yet another
descent down through the crusty snow and trees. |

Group 2 - Bluewater Glacier
Our paths parted a short distance after
leaving the valley floor. Here we are putting on harnesses and tying into the
rope before heading up onto the glacier. |

It's a long way up and was quite cool once we got into the
shade of the Whaleback. |
