12 Glory Laps in 12 Hours

12 Glory Laps in 12 Hours
Last February 20th, I hiked and skied 12 laps on Mt. Glory. 19,638 feet climbed with skis on my back and 19,638 feet skied to raise money for Camp To Belong. It's snowing again and I'm ready for the 2nd edition! Click the logo for more info and ways to support camp!

The weekend of January 8th/9th finally offered weather conditions we deemed safe and bearable enough for our planned winter camping trial experience. I had camped in snow before, but it hardly constituted winter conditions. Definitely nowhere near the conditions typically present through a night in the Tetons at 9,500ft. But all in all, it went very well. We learned a bit about our gear which proved its worthiness in keeping us warm, fed, and moving. And we learned that overnight trips in the winter backcountry is safely possible. So we could look forward to February's trip in earnest.


Dinner at camp





The low that night was somewhere between 0 and -5. Getting up and getting moving wasn't too difficult, but it definitely felt frigid.
