Description
Please join us on October 28 for our monthly social! This month, we’re featuring a presentation of an amazing ski traverse through the fiords of Baffin Island.
‘Extreme Sightseeing: A Ski Traverse Among Some of the World’s Greatest Rock Walls’
Manrico Scremin, his wife Liz, and three friends did a three-week, 135 km ski traverse on the remote east coast of Baffin Island. Their meandering route took them past some of the greatest rock walls in the world. Many of those spires and walls make the Grand Wall on the Stawamus Chief look like a little crag. The Clyde River area on Baffin Island attracts climbers and base jumpers from around the world. Manrico and Liz have done numerous ski, backpack, and canoe trips in the arctic including three trips on Baffin Island and two trips on Ellesmere Island which is the world’s second most northerly island after Greenland.
