Apostelens Tommel Finger and Ketil, West Face, South Greenland. A French expedition led by Maurice Barrard accomplished two extremely difficult ascents just north of Kap Farvel. From July 22 to 29 Barrard, Pierre-Henri Feuillet, Yves Payrau, Michel Pellé, Dominique Marchal, Georges Narbaud and Gérard Vellay made the first ascent of the sharp Apostelens Tommel Finger above Lindenows Fjord. They climbed the 5100-foot wall, finding good rock on all but five leads, where the rock was frost-shattered. Descent by the same route took two days. They then moved to Tasermiut Fjord. From August 7 to 11, Barrard, Marchal, Narbaud, Payrau and Vellay made the first ascent of the west face of Ketil, a 5000-foot climb of sustained great difficulty for all but the last 1000 feet. This route had been attempted in 1974 by a party led by Barrard; they were able to use some of the pitons placed a year before. The first ascent of Ketil was made in July of 1974 by Austrians from Lienz who climbed the couloir on the northwest and traversed to the south face.
