Baffin Big walls 2010 - Success!

We are proud to annouce that Stuart McAleese, Mike ‘Twid’ Turner and Mark Thomas have successfully completed their objective of making a first ascent of a major Big Wall at Sail Peaks, Baffin Island.

In a telephone call from Stu, he explained:

“We reached the summit at 1600 hours yesterday (24th May 2010) and were down at the base of the pillar again by 0400 hours this morning.

We ran out of food and fuel while we were near the top but decided to keep on going. We’re currently trying to get the skidoo to pick us up tomorrow.

This is the most difficult, but rewarding climb any of us have ever done, and my word, are we looking forward to a few beers!”

Congratulations guys. More details and pictures will follow
