Greenland is an incredible land.  It is stunningly beautiful and offers a full range of climbing and mountaineering at every level. We will venture into totally virgin territory, where every step is the first footprint.  Predominantly perfect weather and nearly 24-hour daylight allows for a wide window of opportunity. 

The Sortebrae Ranges are in north east Greenland between the Rignys Bjerg Mountains & Borge Tinde Massif, with surrounding peaks up to 3000m.  The area is close to the Greenland icecap, with stunning views out towards the east coast and the ice packed Denmark Straits.  Based within the Arctic Circle we will be setting up our base camp at 1800m.

We will journey up onto the ice cap, traveling over glaciers, and pulling all of our equipment on pulks with skis.  As we travel along the glacier system we will be making first ascents of the surrounding mountains. 

Our journey will start on 4th & 5th May, when the team departs from the UK to Greenland via Iceland.  We will collect all of our kit and equipment in Iceland, before our final transfer, via a Twin Otter plane that will take up directly to the icecap.  There we will set up our base camp, and for 4 weeks we will be living in tents, where daily temperatures will average out at minus 15 degrees Celcius.  From here we will begin our exploration of this beautiful and remote land.

The team will return to Iceland (weather permitting) on 1st June 2007, and will travel home, returning to the UK, on 3rd June.
