The two moraines flanking this tarn are killer steep. I tried climbing one (rather than starting at the foot) and it couldn't be done safely.

Two Sets Of Falls
I was surprised to find out that some (much?) of the water we find in streams and rivers in the summer is actually melt water. This stream is sourced in the glacier which is rapidly shrinking - what will this place look like when the glacier is gone?
