Hardwear Sessions

Robert Jasper and Stefan Glowacz (the cofounder of Red Chili) have headed out to Baffin Island for seven weeks of kite skiing and climbing. The duo hope to explore new routes in the Querbitter Fjord region, "an unexplored area with towering rock faces more than 1000 meters tall." The fjords rise, almost sheer, from the sea, and have seen little human activity. Robert and Stefan believe that the area's granite and gneiss cliffs will yield a number of highly aesthetic routes. They will travel to their destination with snow kites, accompanied by local Inuit guides.

Visit the Baffin Island Expedition page to read the team's diary. Even if German is not your first--or second, or even fifth language--we recommend a visit, if only to experience the site's lush graphics and beautiful design.
