#7: The Kansas
Published at 06:30

After 15 km skiing up the Reedy under a low ceiling of cloud, we hit a crevasse field that sent us zigzagging on skis then crampons, stepping over cracks and then skiing over narrow and solid snow bridges.
We opened some weaker bridges here and there to peer into the slots and get a healthy perspective on what lies beneath. We carry ropes, harnesses and carabiners to travel safely through threatening regions and in addition ice axes, ice screws and prussiks to effect a rescue should someone fall through which, although possible, is unlikely.
We?re now at the base of the Kansas Glacier having made a right turn onto its untrodden ice. Here is where adventure turns to exploration. In the distance we see the spectacular peak of Kirby Cone, a Matterhorn of the south, we will ski past it in a couple of days.
The wind just came up and is forecast to strengthen over the next three days.
