In reply to harry_j:
I had my third expedition to Greenland this summer. We have been to the Staunings Alps on each occasion. 6000km2 of superb granite apline peaks with loads of potential for new routes and even some unclimbed summits left. There is a guidebook by Donald Bennet (West Col, 1972). Not cheap though. You are looking at round about £2000 - £2500/head though you could stay for 2 months and it would be no dearer. You also have extra hassles in that you need a permit from the Danish Polar Centre (must apply the year before you intend to go), a radio licence for your emergency beacon (you need to hire one of those) and a gun licence for your rifle and ammo (which you have to borrow/hire from somewhere and get through Heathrow). But on the plus side they weren't falling down this summer and we had all 6000km2 to ourselves. There are stacks of other different areas to go to. Virtually the entire length of the east coast has mountain ranges on it and there are loads on the west coast too. Some are technical with great rock, others are more suited to ski -touring with poor rock. Costs will be dearer within the National Park (NE section) which includes the Staunings. Helicopter hire (payload around 500kg to 2000m ie 2 plus kit for 4 weeks) is probably around £800/hour out of Constable Point but may be cheaper further south. You can also use a Twin Otter based in Iceland (takes 8 plus kit) which is slightly cheaper but you are more limited as to where you can land.
Major sources of info are back issues of High (Lindsay Griffin's column) and two articles in the American Alpine Journal detailing Greenland Exploration. A bit of research should give you a few ideas. If you need any more assistance feel free to email.
