Mount Asgard

Mount Asgard, or Inuktitut Sivanitirutinguak, is a twin-peaked mountain in Auyuittuq National Park on Baffin Island, renowned for its dramatic flat-topped rock towers and as one of the best-known summits in the Baffin Mountains. First ascents of its North Peak in 1953 and South Peak in 1971 established its place in Arctic climbing history, and more than 13 technical routes have since been opened on its steep walls. Notable climbs include Charlie Porter’s 1975 solo big-wall ascent and a 2009 free ascent filmed during the Asgard Project. A 1976 ski-BASE jump for The Spy Who Loved Me also made the mountain internationally recognizable.
