Anyone here with experience in the Chugach or Talkeetna? I'm steadily building experience and starting to get into very sketchy stuff. Pic related required constant switching between crampons and skis due to snow conditions. Did Bashful alone in August and that was wild. How bad of an idea is it to get on the larger glaciers alone? Very, I imagine ?
>>2854471I live right in the Chugach. With how unpredictable the weather can be up here and how isolated it is, I wouldn't recommend exploring glaciers alone. At the very least, have a GPS communicator like an inreach mini so you can ping your location to your mom or whatever if you fall down a crevasse. There's also lots of avalanches up here. Haven't had a ton of snow lately and it's been pretty dry so what snowpack there is is gonna mostly be ice or sugar snow which I'm sure you know is tricky to navigate. Bring a fren, anon. Don't be suicidal.
