Headway Systems: Campbell Icefields

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.
Here's part of the group heading up yesterdays tracks and back to the Dome.

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.
