Region: Greenland

04/20 - Karabiner MC 60th Anniversary Pamiagdluk Island

Dave Bone with Rob Allen, Steve Cheslett, Ian Heginbotham, Duncan Lee, Alois Metelko, Anna Neubert, Julie O'Regan, Scott Sadler & Jennifer Varley from UK plus Helena Bestova & Dr Karel Prochazka from the Czech Republic. (July-August 2004)


This was a typical 'club' expedition, whose numbers were limited by the capacity of the 10m boat hired to reach an inlet on the western side of Kangerdluarssuak Fjord on Pamiagdluk Island, where they established their basecamp. Weather conditions throughout were unsettled with few wholly fine days, but the team established a total of 26 mountaineering routes up to AD+ and rock routes up to E3. However they say that 'there's plenty more to do' and no doubt some of the team will be going back.
