Overwhelmed The psyche of trips like this is far different from climbing a big peak. In climbing, you typically have a base camp with extra supplies where you can retreat and rest. On a traverse, there are no extra supplies and no place to retreat. You must get to your pick up location at the specified time. In Greenland we traversed unmapped terrain, adding to the stress and anxiety of completing the trip.
