Isolation in Greenland. Photos from a Peak first climbed

in #climbing7 years ago

Hello all,

This post is a small tribute to my dad. He loves his climbing, he has climbed walked and ice climbed his way up most of the main mountain ranges. About 4 years ago now, he decided to go to greenland. He had climbed in alaska, canada, himalayas, peru, alps etc. He had basically had a go on most of the main mountain ranges in the world. His dream would of course have been Everest however, to climb that monster is not only extremely challenging and dangerous, its also exceedingly expensive. We looking at $45,000. So unfortunately he had to find something else. The answer was Greenland. They organised a trip to a remove area only accessible by plane and only explored once before.

There after 6 months of planning, they set out to climb 3 peaks that had never before been climbed. They succeeded, and took some fantastic photos as well
