The Adventures of the Dodo

Four years after Vertical Sailing Greenland, Captain Reverend Bob Shepton, then 79, calls the same crew back aboard the Dodo's Delight, a ten meter sailboat. Sean Villanueva O'Driscoll, Benjamin Ditto, and Olivier and Nicolas Favresse point the boat north again in search of unclimbed big walls, working through arctic ice, polar bears and storms before finding virgin granite in Greenland and then on Baffin Island. The sequel is bigger and stranger than the original. The walls are unmapped, the approach is a small boat in bad water, and the crew's answer to every delay is to pick up an instrument. If you like your expedition films unglamorous, funny, and genuinely uncertain about whether anything will get climbed, this is the register they work in.
