This was after attempting to climb devils paw and then skiing across the icefield. We basically didn't want to hike down the ridge so we called in for a ride.

This was the deciding factor as to weather we wanted to find our way down Blackerby Ridge in crap weather or good weather.

On our way west to cross the icefield. Michaels Sword, Devils Paw and Ezy.

Ezy gettin read for a long day of skiing. The Taku is in the background with the Taku Towers

After a day and night of skiing we passed Hades Highway and made it off the Taku Glacier to leave Devils Paw 16 miles behind us.

The last sight of Devils paw and 35 miles later

Sittin in the sun trying to decide on a route home. Nothings a whole lot better.

We were extremely confident in the fact that we were getting dropped off basically in the middle of nowhere, based on the fact that we would travel home on our own will power and knowledge.

A friend took this on our way down to the glaciers below.

We were the first people we know of to circumnavigate this massif, but after crossing the ice divide we had to jump some crevasses to continue. It was so cool looking 150 feet down and knowing you were commited to jumping. Photo Credit: Rebecca Haspel

This is what a sunset from an icefield looks like in Alaska. More specificly, this is from the last night of a climbing trip in the Juneau Icefield on the way back to Juneau. It was another one of those 'most beautiful sunsets ever'! That is Rhino peak in the middle. The picture says it all... words don't really do justice!
