 yeah considering glacier is only open from 11-3 and it takes about 45min to get up and another to get 45min to get back down. Clipping just wouln't work.

it's a big, big place. there are countries smaller than it. so yeah it can be fun, but it's too big to generalize into one category. if you're into surfing i think Tofino is a good destination, but i don't know much about surfing at all
