The team will be using various items of Arctic Equipment the following are just a small sample.
Equipment is loaded in to the pulk to aid travel across the ice.
Crampons - A metal attachment to the sole of mountaineering boots that allows the foot to grip the ice when travelling across a glacier or climbing up an ice slope or face. Each crampon has twelve points and is fixed to the boot with neoprene coated nylon straps. The axe is predominately used to help movement on slippery surfaces. When climbing on ice two axes are used to allow the climber to penetrate the ice to create holds. Expedition leader Mark Evans will be taking 12 young explorers on a journey of their lives.
