With nearly 20 months until the convention, how can someone with little to no experience in glacier climbing (like me) prepare for the trip? And what kind of equipment should I be investing in? I live in GA, so there’s not many mountains like Hood around. This might be a great opportunity (for me, and others) to hit one of the more difficult highpoints, so I want to do everything I can to prepare for a possible trip to the summit.
I’ve marked my calendar; looking forward to my first convention!
