I don’t know about the Brit, but O’Brady traversed Greenland fairly recently so that was probably a good test of his gear. And he’s been to Antarctica multiple times already.
This is pretty fascinating. I started following him on Twitter, but now he hasn’t posted in 2 days. He was even answering questions from school kids.
“...but O’Brady traversed Greenland fairly recently.”
Thanks. Duh - of course they would have been working their way up to doing this sort of thing. And it isn’t their first foray into this type of adventure.
I’ll have to take some time and read the entire article and maybe follow the guy. I recall reading about other solo attempts (maybe the north pole?) where the guy flew up and stashed supplies along his route so he could resupply himself. I don’t know if that would still be considered as no outside assistance.
