This year was an unusual warm season… shit was falling down constantly, truck size boulders!
The approach to the base of the Bavarian route on the South tower of Asgard consisted of a 300m steep Icy couloir.
A giant hanging glacier lured over the last section.
With heavy loads and not that much sleep, we tackled the approach as fast as we could.
We were quickly exhausted and out of breath, but stopping in the couloir was not an option.
15 m from the top, a big avalanche of ice and rock erased our tracks just thirty metres behind us.
The Asgard Gods were on our side… Thor (guardian of Asgard) decided not to drop his hammer on us…
With temperatures rising every year, scars on the land are very obvious. Permafrost (ground that has been frozen for millions of years) is melting, erosion is hugh, the river is pulling down gigantic pieces of land, boulders and glaciers are falling off the mountains… A friend who has been to Baffin before, told us that in 2001 there was barely any rockfall at all!

It’s scary! And it’s an obvious message…
