Iceland: A Climber's Saga with Dawn Glanc
Dawn Glanc traveled to Iceland in 2012 with Patrick Ormond, Kitty Calhoun and Jay Smith seeking unclimbed ice lines. The team had no guidebooks or outside information about the area, just a hunch that there would be ice. After collecting local beta from the Icelandic Alpine Club, the team set off across the country to explore the Western Fjords of Iceland. Upon arrival in Isafjordur the team met Runar, the local ice climber. Together they looked over the topo map of the area. Runar began to circle multiple cliffs and drainages where Ice lines existed. And so began an adventure and a friendship that Dawn continued on for 3 years. Hear the story of how together with the help of the local climbers, Dawn and her team climbed some of the hardest ice and mixed lines in the Western Fjords.
