June 19 was Suwapta Pass with its killer hill, the Icefields Centre and then on to Suwapta Crossing (the Tautons, Leddy & Daphne) or to Honeymoon Lake (Terri, Dan, Laura & Greg).
The climb up Suwapta Pass wasn't as hard as we all thought it would be. Having decent weather was a bonus. On top of the pass the headwind was bitterly cold (happens when it comes off a glacier). The other side was nice.
The left side photo is the lower hill approaching Suwapta Pass from about 2/3 the way up.
The other photo is the first glimpse of the main glaciers, just past Parker Ridge (right where we got hit with the headwinds).
My apologies to whomever if I can't spell Suwapta.
