We can use the forum to arrange for car pooling.
Gear list:

-Many pairs of thin layered gloves. Pair of goggles, appropriate clothing ( it may rain), lunch, snacks, warm thermos drinks preferably extra dark hot chocolate.
-Bring cash for the driver if you are getting a ride.
-Your emergency contact.
-Insurance coverage ( BCAA) just for that day and passport or other way to get in i.e. bribing an officier or digging a tunnel might work.

The Plan
Get to Heliotrope Ridge Parking Lot and hike in to the glacier.
Camping spots may be at the glacier or at Mirkwood.
We are expecting to stay till 6-7 pm on Sunday evening.
Rain or shine this trip is a go.
This is a warm-up for the upcoming alpine ice climbing season, gear testing, and sharing techniques.
