Region: America - South & Antarctica

Dr Alun Hubbard with Tom Chamberlain, Alistair Gunn, Tim Hall, Dan Haywood & Rory Williams plus David Fasel from Switzerland (Feb-May 2005)

With a change of team, this was to some extent a continuation of 05/11, using Gambo to access South Georgia. The bad weather continued, with a pressure drop to 930mb causing 'unbelievable winds'. In 13 days on Mount Paget (2996m) they only experienced 2 weather windows, each of about 6 hours. Both attempts to reach the summit were unsuccessful, but they did achieve the first ascent of its subsidiary peak (c2100m), which they named Buzen Point.
