We're outdoor sports enthusiasts and adventure driven people who strive to spend as much time as possible in nature, following our passion and doing the things we love to do. Even in the extreme Alaskan environment! Blackburn (4996m) and the surrounding area with Atna Peak (4225m), and Rime Peak (3762m) offer some of the most diverse and ideal terrain for the combination of classical and extreme m
ountain sports. Mount Blackburn is the fifth highest peak in the United States, and is situated right next to the largest interior valley glacier of the world. Three major Alaskan peaks within throwing range of the base camp on Nabesna Glacier pose three different goals to accomplish with a much wider range of possible wind directions and weather conditions. The peak of Mt. Blackburn, our primary goal, can be kited from the middle of the Northwest ridge on and all the way over to the East summit of Mt. Blackburn. The Mt. Blackburn2014-Crew:
Andreas Hillmer and Samuel Stotz with their extensive classical mountaineering skills, combined with the extreme-sports skills of former German and Junior Snow-kiting World Champion, Sebastian Bubmann, along with the speedflying skills of specialist Philip Kuchelmeister will provide a huge new range of possibilities to scale and conquer this trio of formidable mountain peaks. No one has ever kited up or speed-flown down Mt. Our team will be making the first ever attempt.
