Tiningnertok

Tiningnertok is a steep mountain on southern Greenland’s King Frederick VI Coast, rising from the shore near Lindenow Fjord in a remote, rough-weathered landscape. Known in Danish as Apostelen Tommelfinger, or “Thumb of the Apostle,” it stands 2,291.48 metres high and has several summits along its crest, with another major peak, Akuliarusersuaq, nearby. Climbers prize its granite walls and especially the challenge of its Northeast Face, often likened to Ketil’s. Its isolation and severe conditions long hindered ascent attempts: French and Italian expeditions failed in the 1970s before a French party led by Sylvain Jouty made the first successful climb in 1976.
