Our team of 7 mountaineers & ski mountaineers from the Alpine Club has now returned from Antarctica after completing seven ascents of previously unclimbed Antarctic peaks. Using the yacht, ‘Spirit of Sydney’, as we did for the 2010 AC Expedition, we established a route onto and up the south side of the complex and broken Trooz Glacier, allowing us to place a camp on the Belgica Glacier. This is on the north side of a chain of unclimbed, and largely un-named mountains that line the north side of Beascochea Bay. It is an area that has not been previously explored by climbers, and is often blocked by heavy ice |
