Kamchatka Ski Touring Expedition 2013
During April 2013, members of the Spanish Highs team joined a Berghaus sponsored expedition led Berghaus athlete, Julia Pickering, attempting to make the first ski and snowboard climb and descent of the highest active volcano in Kamchatka, Klyutchevskoy Sopka (4750m). The weather didn't play ball though and 9 out of 12 days on the mountain were spent tent bound. Great memories though of this spectacular wilderness area and of the friendly local people who helped us.
