Eve MacCallum shares lessons learned from her first expedition to Greenland.
Last autumn, I returned from a trip to East Greenland with my partner Harry and our friend Ollie, where we spent a month putting up new routes, summitting unclimbed peaks, and eating a lot of fish. I thought that exploring one-thousand-metre-high faces - devoid of any previously climbed lines - in stunning, remote landscapes was exclusively for strong climbers with big sponsorship deals.
