Last week we recruited Andrew McLean to be one of our experts. This man has been on some seriously cool adventures. A climber, extreme skier and kite skier, Andrew has been up down and around some of the world’s most remote scenery from Antarctica to Alaska via the Himalayas. With a successful career as a designer of outdoor and climbing gear, if Andrew thinks his next adventure may be a little challenging he designs a piece of gear to make it more possible… All temperature references aside that is very very cool.
His first recommendations for your next soirée into the icy wastes are reviews of his trips to Baffin Island and Bagley Icefield. From what he’s written it sounds like they went out there with their kites pulling their sleds until they found a mountain they liked the look of then climbed up it and skied down. Sounds like a plan?
