| Summary, etc. | Between the 16th April and 6th May, the seven member expedition succesfully<br/>completed an exploratory journey on alpine ski through the mountains of the<br/>Cumberland Peninsular, to the east of the Weasel Valley and to the north of Kingnait Fjord.<br/>The Expedition from the point of drop off by skidoo was entirely self-sufficient with the<br/>supplies and equipment being pulled and carried with a combination of rucksack and<br/>specially adapted children's sledge.<br/>After a few days around Mt Asgard the team moved South-east out of the Auyuittuq<br/>National Park Reserve into a very dramatic area of large glaciers and steep rock walls. A<br/>fairly circuitous travel of some 150km was made back to a pick-up at the head of<br/>Pangnirtung fjord and fourteen peaks were climbed en route. Of the peaks climbed three<br/>had names on the map and a further four appeared to have had previous ascents. Most<br/>summits involved a combination of ski and foot, generally by the easier looking ridges and<br/>never exceeded more than alpine PD+ in technical difficulty. Various peaks were ascended<br/>and descended entirely by ski with one noteable extreme descent.<br/>The weather was generally high pressure with clear skies and little wind with daytime<br/>temperatures of -10°c to -15°c and nightime lows of -30°c. During 20 days, travel was<br/>restricted on 3 days.<br/>Snow cover was good but of dubious quality with approximately 30cm of windpack<br/>layers overlaying lm of depth hoar. It was apparently a high snowfall year for the area.<br/>One team member (John Kentish) broke a back molar tooth in half on day four and<br/>decided to retreat alone down the Weasel valley, in some pain-, to get treatment. |
