M ount Asgard, N ortheast Face and M ount Frigga, West Pillar. John Rzeczycki and I spent 50plus days in the A sgard region o f Baffin Island from late June through late August. A fter arriv ing at Base Camp via helicopter, we spent 20 days establishing a new wall route on Mt. Asgard, Exiles From Valhalla (VI A5) on the northeast face of A sgard’s north tower, ju st to the right o f the Valkarie. Clim bing was sustained aid on steep rock up a thin discontinuous line. After summiting and rapping the route, we spent 17 days establishing the first wall route on the over hanging west pillar of Mt. Frigga, Slith, the Frightful (VI A5), named after a river in Norse mythology that was so cold it burned. Again, the climbing was sustained aid on steep and over hanging rock up thin features. We spent the next six days hiking double loads out the Weasel Valley to the fjord where we radioed for a boat which took us back to Pangnirtung. W ally B a r k e r ,
