Vancouver Island: Frozen with fear on the Comox Glacier hike

It was 4 am when I woke up with a huge knot in my stomach. I knew what it meant - I was getting nervous about hiking to the Comox Glacier in the morning. Pushing myself out of my comfort zone is nothing new. In fact, I often thrive on it. I've been to a few mountain summits in Strathcona Park, completed multi-day backpacking trips in the Rockies, and even made the trek to Everest Base Camp in 2015. But this hike felt different.
I knew there were some steep, exposed sections with ropes and I knew that getting a good sleep was key to surviving those sections so I didn't become paralyzed with fear. The pressure was on to fall back asleep. Watch to see what happens next.
