BD Athletes Alex Honnold (@alexhonnold) & Hazel Findlay (@hazel_findlay) recently made the first ascent of one of the world's biggest sea cliffs, Ingmikortilaq – a roughly 1,200-meter wall located in remote western Greenland.
"The Gneiss rock wasn’t the best quality and we got pretty scared navigating the loose rock as a big team. We started off with 4 of us plus film crew and in the end Alex and I climbed to the summit as a pair...To say it was a big adventure is a huge understatement. It was definitely more of a psychological challenge than physical and I’d probably give it an overall grade of E6 or 5.11 R X." Hazel recalled from their six-week expedition.
Aside from climbing, the team did a number of tasks to help scientists measure and track climate change – collecting rock samples, placing temperature sensors to study changes in permafrost, retrieving water flow data and more.
We can't wait to hear more about their trip and the work they put in!
