On a recent trip up to check out the Sandy Glacier ice caves, I lost my glasses in the traverse from above McNeil Pt over to the caves. Armed with only my prescription sunglasses, and a quickly setting sun, I took off across the snow field in search of my glasses. On the upside I found them, but by that time the rest of the group was already on their way back in the dark. I headed back to camp and watched this scene unfold before me. As the sky darkened and the stars started to fill the sky, the small group of climbers started around the corner of the traverse and lit up the lower part of the mountain.
