LAST CALL FOR BAFFIN
This is it. Last call, all aboard, train pulling out. There are slots open. Who’s packed, crampons sharp, ice axe ready?
This is a no frills expedition. There are no guides, no support, and no fucking helicopters. It’s skiing, hiking, climbing. You’ll be pulling a 200lb sled over a hundred miles. 5-6 weeks late April to early June. I’ll be buying tickets soon and will have exact dates within a week. You’re looking at about $4000 for the trip if you have all your toys and are ready to play. Expect temps as low as –15 F at the beginning. By the end of the trip it will be quite warm.
This is my third trip up there to this area. The first one I was on the ice for 7 ½ weeks. The second I was there for over three months. The walls are beyond any thing you can imagine. I wound up alone on both of those trips although Ox and Dave were up there for a few weeks during the first one. This whole thing started with some people I met over Thanks Giving. As it turns out the last one bailed today.
So who wants to play? Yep, this is last minute but who is ready to throw down right now on the trip of a lifetime. I’ve already mailed 80lb of food and my rope. So I’m going. The question is does any body want to come with. I wont bullshit you it’s a rough and tumble, exhausting, hard-core trip. This can quickly turn into epic shit. Expect leads, crevasses, rock fall, avalanches, arctic storms, and to be stalked by polar bears. I’m up grading my 12 to a 10 gage full of slugs. I don’t blame the people that bailed. I respect them. This post is fishing for a one in a thousand chance of finding some one.
If you’re in send a resume ASAP.
