05/01 - British South Georgia 2005
Julian Freeman-Attwood with Rich Howarth, Crag Jones and Skip Novak (January-February 2005)
After sailing1300km from Port Stanley to land at Larsen Harbour on Novak's 'Pelagic', this team skied up the Philippi, and eventually onto the southern Spencely Harmer Glacier, to start a very committing 17 day south-north traverse of South Georgia. En route they tried to climb the N Ridge of Mt Baume (1912m) but were repulsed by bad weather some 400m from the summit. However, they were successful in making the first ascent of Pk 5680 (1727m) to its NW, before completing their traverse at Royal Bay, where they were reunited with Pelagic.
