The crew set six camps, climbed long glaciers hauling heavy sledges to finally summit three unclimbed peaks with ice axes and crampons in temperatures -25 degrees C. A fourth peak was attempted, but abandoned due to dangerous, wide crevasses mostly hidden under fragile ice bridges and a detour that exposed the team to a forbidding ice cliff. A nine day storm then confined the crew to Base Camp in blizzard conditions.
