Wimmer and I were flown by helicopter from An- gmagssalik to the Franche Compté Glacier and landed northwest of Lauper Bjerg. We traveled by skis with sledges over the Paris Glacier to the Bjørne Glacier. On May 3 Krenn, Klausbruckner, Hölzl, Pletschko, Gritzner and I climbed Mount Forel (3360 meters, 11,024 feet) via a new route, the southwest ridge. On May 6 Klausbruckner, Pucher, Hölzl and I climbed Perfektnunatak (3000 meters, 9843 feet), northeast of Forel. We then returned to Base Camp on the Franche Compté Glacier. On May 14 Hölzl and I made what is probably the second ascent of Lauper Bjerg (2580 meters, 8465 feet). We returned to Angmagssalik by helicopter on May 17.
