The Hotlum Glacier is in good shape right now. A view from the "Hotlum Hilton" Camp recently showed the glacier to be covered with a nice blanket of snow. As is the objective problem every year: once we move into the warmer days of summer, snow melts and the snow bridges of crevasses become weak. Check out the current photos below!
Where is the Hotlum Hilton? This is an area that is a great base camp for all things on the Hotlum Glacier. Crevasse rescue training, serac climbing or an ascent of the glacier can be based from here! Punch these coordinates into Google Earth and check it out! 41 25 08 N x 122 10 37 W
