The base camp of the Moose’s Tooth in Alaska is easily accessible by
light planes, which land
directly on the glacier. Here, we will attempt to
open a route, failed in 2005, on this superb arrow
point of granite that
pierces the skyline at 1500m above the glacier.
In the same style as the first attempt, our solid duo will be lit up 24/7 by
the summer sun of the north
pole.
We will take on the ascent in pure alpine style (with lightweight
equipment) and it may last many
hours depending how many
difficulties we have to get over. We have chosen to work with France
Meteo in order to limit the possibility of stormy weather conditions
on the
climb.
Our recent expedition in the Mont Blanc (Royal Sequence) range
has further reinforced our teamwork and mountaineering
experience.
