Greenland - In mid-July, LOWA-PRO team athlete Robert Jasper embarked on a very special adventure. He paddled his foldable sea kayak into the remote fjords of East Greenland. He was not accompanied.

He completed the expedition completely on his own and also opted for the "by fair means" style - a style in which he had to carry all the equipment himself. He had a total of 90 kilograms of luggage with him.

THE HARD ROAD TO BASE CAMP

Jasper took four weeks for the expedition. The first point of the expedition was to reach base camp. The wind and weather conditions in Greenland - even in July, the average temperature in the fjords is below 10 degrees Celsius - sapped Jasper's strength. He even had to cover some sections of the route several times due to the adverse conditions. After almost two weeks, he had made it: he set up his base camp at the foot of the Fox Jaw Cirque - a mountain range with bizarre granite peaks that resemble the teeth of a predator.

LONELINESS OR POLAR BEAR

Throughout the expedition, Robert Jasper wavered between two emotional states: the mentally challenging solitude and the frightening situation of encountering a polar bear. Nevertheless, the extreme athlete decided to take a closer look at the wall of the Molar Spire (second granite tooth).

"The uncertainty of a first ascent appeals to me. You don't know whether it's really possible to climb up there. It's a huge challenge!"
