G-spotter Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 ... buried under 300m of ice. That's only 6 pitches of digging, right?! Colin should knock this one off in no time. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8420837.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RokIzGud Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 (edited) Maybe we shouldnt go so green and get some first ascents! Thats pretty interesting. Edited December 18, 2009 by RokIzGud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 "The shallowest ice covering the mountains is hundreds of metres thick. The deepest ice detected is about 4,800m thick. The mountains themselves are standing about 2,500m above sea level." Dig 300 meters to get to the summit. Gives new meaning to "First Descent."
