03/22 - British Australian Torssukatak Spires 2003

Jon Roberts (with Dewi Durban and James Mehican plus Richard Sonnerdale from Australia) July-August 2003
This team of rock climbers selected the Cape Farewell area in the south for their first visit to Greenland. A new 1400m E3 5c route 'The Cruise Line', was achieved on The Thumbnail (E Face of Agdlerussakasit, first climbed by Ian Parnell's 00/35), plus several other fancifully-named rock routes. Two peaks also received their first ascents, Mark - 'Called into Question', 450m E2 5b and The Butler - 'The Cripple and the Tortoise', 200m E2 5c A1. All routes were climbed free and on-sight without the use of fixed ropes, pegs or bolts.
