AMUNDSEN PEAK ANTARCTICA 1063m

FIRST ASCENT 14 DEC 2011 BY JØRGEN AMUNDSEN, ERIK FRIIS AND PHIL WICKENS

ROALD AMUNDSEN THE GREATEST EXPLORER OF ALL TIME

Conqueror of the North West Passage

First man to set foot on the South Pole

First man to circumnavigate the northern hemisphere

First man to fly across the Arctic Ocean via the North Pole First man to reach both the North and the South Pole First successful flight from Europe to America

Behind these amazing achievements is a man with skills and values unequalled in the history of exploration:

ROALD AMUNDSEN (1872-1928) Many men have attempted these feats and failed. The reasons for Amundsen’s success were his thorough planning, his outstanding navigational skills, his urge to explore the unexplored, his accuracy, his unique leadership skills and above all his refusal to accept the status quo.

Jørgen Amundsen, founder of Amundsen Sports, is greatly inspired by his relative Roald Amundsen. Our premium quality garments for skiers, mountaineers and explorers are different, reflecting our unique approach inspired by this heritage.

ON THE SOUTH POLE

ON THE SUMMIT OF AMUNDSEN PEAK - ANTARCTICA

On 14 December 1911, Roald Amundsen was the first man ever to set foot on the South Pole - a groundbreaking achievement of such magnitude, that it is hard to grasp a century later. Years of planning, training and research made it possible for Amundsen to venture with confidence into the unknown.

To conquer this last uncharted territory - a desert of ice, howling winds and temperatures down to minus 90 degrees Celsius - required massive courage as well as a mind so determined that it was only a question of when - rather than if - he would make it there.

Little did Amundsen know, that one of his relatives, Jørgen Amundsen, would return to Antarctica a century later.

The main goal of the expedition was to undertake a pioneer ascent of an unclimbed mountain, alongside testing Amundsen Sports’ unique clothing concept, the 3-Part Transformer System in its true elements.

The obvious choice might have been to retrace Amundsen’s footsteps to the South Pole. However, it was more of a challenge to venture on an 5

KNICKERBOCKERS

THE 3-PART TRANSFORMER SYSTEM

Knee-length pants have many names; Breeches, Breeks, Plus Two’s, Plus Four’s, Knickers, Trews, Messenger Shorts etc.

We call them Knickerbockers.

Knickerbockers were highly popular in sports, due to their versatility and comfort, typically worn by skiers, rock climbers and mountaineers. Why they faded out during the 20th century, is hard to explain.

As a direct result of our extensive product testing in Antarctica, we are fully convinced that knickerbockers are superior to regular pants for a great many sports and activities.

Used together with a jacket and gaiters, it creates a unique look with unbeatable advantages.

Ane Enderud in Amundsen Sports’ version

NO SWEAT

UNEQUALLED VENTILATION Imagine skiing uphill on a sunny spring day. There’ll be moments you long to be wearing shorts. Well, now you can!

Simply remove your gaiters, roll down your socks, cool down!

No ventilation features on ordinary pants can compare to this.

NOT WET

WATERPROOF As all mountain enthusiasts know only too well, weather changes fast. All of a sudden you’ll need to be water and windproof from top to bottom. Simply fix your gaiters back on for instant protection against the elements.

The Transformable Outdoor Clothing Concept

NO SHIT

VERSATILITY We all love the feeling of returning to the lodge or tent after a long day outdoors. The blessing now is that you no longer have to change your pants at the doorstep to avoid dragging snow and dirt indoors. Simply shed your gaiters and you are attired for any indoor occation.

2X WORLD CHAMPION FREESKIER ANE ENDERUD CHOOSES AMUNDSEN SPORTS After 10 seasons in Chamonix as a professional freeskier, starring in numerous international ski films, and taking home the Freeride World Championship both in 2009 and 2010, Ane is without doubt the worlds best female freeskier.

Ane has now moved back to Norway to explore the northern playgrounds, and we are proud that she has chosen The Amundsen 3-part System as her preferred riding gear for her pioneering descents.

FREERIDER AND ARTIST JØRGEN P. WILLUMSEN CHOOSES AMUNDSEN SPORTS We met Jørgen for the first time during the 2011 ski season, and were impressed by both his skills on skis and as a designer. After one season in our knickerbockers and gaiters, Jørgen was convinced about this concept for freeriders.

The young artist went on to design his own freeride collection within our 3-part system, which we are proud to present for the upcoming winter season.

Jørgen has signed off his colleciton with a thick JPW/ART leather patch.

WAXED COTTON/LINEN ANORAK UNISEX REF: W3UAN02

2X WORLD CHAMPION FREESKIER ANE ENDERUD ON HER DOG SLED. WHAT BETTER WAY TO REACH REMOTE MOUNTAINS AND UNTOUCHED SNOW?

The Heroes Anorak is designed from the original anoraks worn by Amundsen and his men during the South Pole conquest in 1911.

The oversized unisex Anorak features no technical elements, yet protects you against the elements in the simplest way.

Carefully sewn in a tough cotton/linen blend coated with a natural wax. The wax will wear off over time,

reducing the waterproofness. The garment should therefore be rewaxed from time to time to get the desired balance between water resistance and breathability.

As hood trim Coyote fur is the natural choice to protect your face from tough winter conditions. The fur that we use is acquired in Canada in the most humane ways from wild animals only, and follows the guidelines of the Fur Council of Canada.
