During a week long visit a handful of weeks back I got to experience the birthday of a lifetime and climb this glacier. I can only say that if you EVER get the chance to climb a glacier then grab it while you can. Sadly, they are in rapid decline due to global warming and indeed, once at the top of this one, it was a balmy 26 degrees!
