Roberta Sheldon was known to ask inquiring guests if they were “physically fit and mentally flexible” because she knew that’s what it took to fully enjoy the experience. Today we carry on that tradition and ask each inquiring guest for their backcountry glacier experience and expertise as no guides are provided. You are welcome to hire a guide during your stay. We partner with Alaska Mountaineering School in Talkeetna, Alaska and proffesional essay writers around the USA.
