03/44 - Scottish Lemon Mountains 2003

Graham Stein (with Alison Callum, Iain Hall, Andy Lole, Brian Moretta, Phil Reynolds, John Sanders, Andy Saxby, Clare Stein and Jago Trasler) June-July 2003


The Lemon Mountains have proved to be a very attractive destination for expeditions in recent years, but this team proved that they still offer scope for first ascents. After setting up a base camp on the Hedgehog Glacier, and operating mainly in pairs, they explored the area between the Lucy & Courtauld Glaciers, and achieved first ascents of eight peaks of approximately 2000 metres. The expedition ended with a frantic dash to reach their pick-up point in time, only to find that the aircraft was delayed by bad weather.
