North America, Greenland, Staunings Alper

Publication Year: 1986.

Staunings Alper. The eight climbers of our expedition sailed in a ketch from Jan Mayen in the Faroe Islands and finally used the boat as Base Camp in the Damen inlet near Mestersvig. We made the following ascents. Jean-Marc Piron and Luc Ancion made the first ascent of the south face of Dunator, approaching via the Bersaerkerbrae, and the south face of Atillaborgen (between the Krabbe and Sefstoms Glaciers. Daniel Caise and Gérard Miserque ascended the right bank of the Spörre Glacier amid difficult séracs, hoping to reach the Castor and Pollux Glacier. They also reconnoitered toward the north shore of Furosoe Lake but the precipitous glacier front of the Spörre Glacier blocked them. A large river also cut them off. Up the Furosoe Glacier, Didier Dubosse and Philippe Soertaert attempted the Parot Tower. Jean-Pierre Deveaux and I went to the col at the head of the Furosoe. We four also reconnoitered other passes.
