Fantastic day ....

We reported in early at 'Alpine Guides' for our day glacier hike. A short bus ride and then a scramble over some rocks and we were at the glacier.

After strapping on crampons and armed with a spiked walking stick we were ready to face the glacier. Our 2 guides led the way and used ice axes to cut steps in the glacier. We spent over 6 hours on the ice. The views were spectacular.
