This video is NOT of the Worthington Glacier Ridge Trail which is a steep marked trail to the left, this video, which has both pictures and embedded videos, is of a very aggressive hike that follows up Worthington Glacier along the northern ridge (Right side when looking straight at the Glacier), it uses cables to cross the water and then climbs up to the top of the glacier with no trail markings.
Use extreme caution if you decide to go up the right side using the cables!! This hike had some difficult sections and I would highly recommend a buddy system.
Worthington Glacier State Recreational Site is near Thompson Pass, 28 miles northeast of Valdez on the Richardson Highway.
This site is now operated by Valdez Adventure Alliance, previously known as Levitation 49 according to Alaska Department of Natural Resources - Division of Parks & Outdoor Recreation web page.
(This video was taken and hike was done July of 2019)
