Sortebrae Ranges (new unclimbed ranges)

Many other unclimbed mountain ranges exist within this generally unknown and virtually unexplored part of east Greenland.

• Unlimited potential for easy grade first ascents.
• Region includes everything from glacier based peaks to inland icecap nunatak summits.
• Ideal for easy ski touring exploration of large areas on mainly easy angle glaciers.
• Extensive views over the Greenland icecap.
• Up to 1000m vertical height gain from base camps to summits.
• Endless opportunities for new technical snow and ice routes.
• Basalt rock so NOT suitable for rock or mixed climbing.
• Contains some mighty impressive unclimbed massifs!
• Ideal time to visit - May to August.
