Overlord, Thor and Asgard, Baffin Island. Russ Bunker, Jerry Cinnamon, P.T. Davis, Scott Kimball, Jon Leonard and I were in the Pangnirtung Pass area from June 17 to August 20. Long stretches of stormy weather limited the number of climbing days. Locals said it was one of the rainiest summers on record. On July 23 Overlord was climbed via the west basin and north ridge by Cinnamon, Kimball and me over mixed snow and rock to the ridge and from there with scrambling to the top. Davis and Leonard climbed Thor from the east on August 4 and 5. The climb gave multi-pitched, intermediate rockclimbing to the summit, from which the pair had a spectacular view down the overhanging 4500-foot west face. The north summit of Asgard was climbed via the 1952 Swiss route on August 9 by Cinnamon, Davis, Kimball and me. The climb was done in an unusual stretch of perfect weather. The climbing was mixed to the col. From there it was on fine rock for the final 500 feet, the most difficult being of 5.8.
