We were out hiking about Kennicott glacier with a guide when we spotted this fellow some distance away scaling one of the many glacier vertical faces. He appeared to be alone and wasn't using any ropes. Our guide recognized him and said he was another guide who he assumed was out exploring the glacier on his day off.

being old and cowardly, i can only hope that you have Photo-shopped the rope out of the picture; somehow, i doubt it. Great capture.

We were exploring the upper surface of the Kennicott Glacier with a guide when we spotted this fellow on his own scaling one of the Glacier's many sides without the aid of ropes.

OMG! I guess people really don't like being restrained. At least the extremely courageous. Either that or this guy just found the edge of the flat earth!
