I love that area. That glacier at Niobe - Pelops is disturbingly broken

[M_ViLLAIN]

nearly all the pics are stellar. sick job

[Aldo Nova]

Thats so pretty, how long was the whole hike?

[Sharon]

wow

good on ya!

[StevenE]

Thats so pretty, how long was the whole hike?

In total we where up there 3 days, we where supposed to be up there for four but came down a day early because the clouds came in and we didnt feel like sitting around the lake hanging out with 10 trillion bugs for an extra day.

look to the left on the sea to sky approaching squamish, you should recognize the mountain from the pix

[LeeLau]

Here's the Tantalus Range. Glacier and crevasse rescue gear highly recommended for high alpine but good travelling on the flanks of Omega and Thyestes/Niobe/Pelops
