We're warming up now that the sun is out!Breakfast on ice. Always a bit of a bitch. ;)Approaching the descent to the lower glacier.Taking photos as we approach the drop to the lower glacier, Mount Brazeau is going to melt off a LOT today, but we don't know that yet.At first we stuck to the ice, but soon we detoured right and just bashed down the scree which was easier, safer and faster.The gravel was typical loose glacier till, but it was quick to descend.Trying not fall in a 'schrund.Looking back at our tracks along the bench - you can see the 'schrund that we eventually had to cross.Immediately upon bailing the bench we had to deal with some huge, open crevasses. Thankfully these were easy to avoid.Warren finally comes into view as we start crossing the lower Brazeau Icefield towards it.The glacier was quite beautiful when we weren't cursing all the holes!The glacier was quite beautiful when we weren't cursing all the holes!We went a little far east and had to work our way across some problematic slots before finally reaching the rocky slope just in front of us here to the right of Ben.
