Fan Mail... We Love it!

Here is a great review sent to us from Joyce Nolan:
Friday, June 17, 2011 my sister, her husband and my husband and myself took advantage of your walking on a glacier tour. Our pilot was a wonderful young man -Tyler.
Thank everyone for your gracious welcome. The thrill of anticipation as we put on our boots and received our raincoat, while sitting in the grandeur around us on the porch with airplanes behind us - all are moments we will long remember. Soon we were taking off into the magnificent mountains surrounded by a breathtaking panorama view of wonder. Flying up close and personal to the mountains and then the landing on a glacier - standing in the midst of mountains on all sides, walking on the surface of the glacier in awe and in the silence of nature truly spell binding. The peacefulness, the beauty, the wonder and the thrill right up to our goodbye - all - was beautiful. Thank you for a most wonder-filled experience.

Here is a sample of what to look forward to:
Pika Glacier/Little Swiss Report
Team Salamander spent 10 fun days on the Pika, flying out July 1, 2011. Weather was in-and-out sun, allowing a total of 5 climbing days. The trend was toward evening clearing, with two days of full sun. The moats are in but with rain and warming things are quickly melting. There is still a decent snow bridge to the Gargoyle Buttress. The start of the first pitch had some ice which we attacked with ice axes (though one could climb with rock shoes and creative route finding). An Anchorage team replaced the webbing on the first 9 anchors last week. The Middle Troll has widening moats as well, but there are still a couple of intact bridges. The first 200' are loose gravel and boulders, and are not safe for more than one party to be on at a time. Lost Marsupials approach was straightforward. Summit ridge with corniced, soft snow. AMS arete approach without major crevasses, though the glaciers on either side are bare to the dust layer and snow cover melting fast.
