If not, do you plan on doing so before they recede into nothingness?
Do you face climb?
Give me an example of an experience that really caused you to respect the wrath that Mother Nature may offer.
I was on an expedition to Denali that was cut short when my partner had a personal crisis. Spent five nights on the Kahiltna. I'll be back one of these days.
I've been in storms and stuff, but this really opened my eyes to what an avalanche could be. This is as seen from base Camp on Denali. The buttress with the conical snowcone on top is about fivethousand feet high, and is three miles from where I'm standing.
