Story

We got a really late start because we were sick and wanted to sleep in. Ondy had sprained her ankle two months previously. She was doing fine until she stubbed her toe on a tree root on the way day. After that, it was causing her a lot of pain, so we took it really slow for the last couple of miles. The weather was warm in the day and chilly after the sun went down. When we were at the pond, we sat and talked with one of the volunteer medics that was camped there for the weekend. They said that the glacier was nearly vertical at the top and there was no safe way down with all the boulders, so we decided not to slide down the glacier this trip.
