Novica iz odprave > Kanada, Cirque of the Unclimbables 2010

Kanadski divjini naproti

Od četrtka 29.7.2010 naprej sva na poti v kanadsko divjino! Kot se za
divjino spodobi bova tam zares odrezana od virtualnega sveta - torej
brez interneta oziroma telefona - in toliko bolj vsrkavala realni svet!
Novice o odpravi sledijo šele septembra!

Najprej letiva v Whitehorse, glavno mesto pokrajine Yukon, že blizu
Aljaske. Že naslednji dan potujeva z avtobusom do nekaj sto kilometrov
oddaljenega kraja Watson Lake. Od tam spet letiva, tokrat z malim
privatnim frčoplanom, ki pristane na jezeru Glacier Lake, dan hoda od
najine baze pod fantastičnimi granitnimi stenami Cirque of Unclimbables.

V hribih bova preživela slabe tri tedne in poskušala preplezati čim več
zahtevnih smeri, po možnosti tudi kakšno prvenstveno. Sledil bo
povratek v civilizacijo - deset dnevno veslanje po idilični in divji
reki Nahanni. Domov se vračava 5. septembra.

Perfect Morocco
The expedition to Morocco was really great. We were enraptured with its diversity and hospitability of the local people. And especially with unbelievably amounts of reddish walls, one of the best limestone climbing cliffs we know!
