Kunlun action

Posted on August 19, 2007 by Sampsa Jyrkynen

We just recieved message from Lauri. He said the last week has been bad weather in the Kunlun region. However, they managed climbing one 1100 meter ridge. They got as far as the fore-summit but missed the main summit.
There are still 8 days left of the expedion so expect more news in the near future!

Chamonix action

Posted on August 7, 2007 by Sampsa Jyrkynen

Sampsa had a very good trip to the Alps with Teppo! The pair climbed the Frendo Spur for warm up on July 25th to 26th and then continued with the Chamonix Aiguilles Traverse on July 27th to 28th. The trip was crowned with an ascent of the Diable Spur on Mont Blanc du Tacul few days later. Pictures coming soon!
