Jim Lowther (with Chris Bonington, Rob Ferguson & John Porter from England, Graham Little & Scott Muir from Scotland and Mark Richey & Mark Wilford from USA). July-August 2000

Climbing in strictly nationalist parties, between them this team achieved 13 first ascents on 12 unclimbed peaks between 1112m and 1948m in areas to the north of Kangikitsoq Fjord and to the east of Kangersuneq Qingordleq (Fjord). The rock (granite) varied from 'astounding' to 'horrendous'. The great success of the expedition was largely due to the swarms of mosquito and black fly which shared their base camp, giving little incentive for hanging around.
