Watkins Mountains

It didn’t seem five minutes since I had returned from Sea Kayaking in Greenland, before I was heading north again.  This time it was to mountaineer, but the sea would play it’s part also.  I joined Simon Yates to head towards Mikis Fjord and tackle a myriad of unclimbed peaks.

I’ve never been good on boats, in fact I can get sea sick just looking at one, so the idea of sailing from Iceland the the Greenlandic coast filled me with fear.  I loaded up my kit bag with coats, crampons and kwells in the hope of keeping myself something like sane.  It promised to be kill or cure.
