| A truly spectacular view, worth every bit of 20 miles to get here. Climbing alone, I started up the Fremont early in the morning and heard the glacier talking to me. In three different sections, the glacier cracked and settled underneath me. Just before reaching the flat section at 8500ft, the ice quickly sank about a foot with a loud crash that echoed throughout the basin. Turning around was a no brainer. I know it is a wimpy thing to sign the log and stop 600 ft. from the summit, but I want others to hear about the instability of the Fremont. |
