Members, NZAC talk you may be interested in..:
On January 21st 2010 extreme alpinist Bruce Normand will be speaking in Christchurch on his 2007 ascent of K2 without oxygen.
Bruce Normand can normally be found putting up technical new routes on the world's least-known high mountains. However, in 2007 he climbed K2, making him the only Scotsman ever to do so. With partners Don Bowie and Chris Warner, his team was pushed off it’s new-route attempt by objective danger and ended up on the normal route, making an oxygen-less ascent of the world’s second highest mountain.
Doug Hitchon is leading this trip up the highest peak in the seaward Kaikoura Range. His plan is to drive up to Kaikoura Friday night and make an early start on the mountain Saturday. Contact Doug on 03 377 9427 or give him an email at hitchons
