After a climbing trip to Antarctica's Queen Maud Land in 1996, Krakauer wrote, "We relied utterly on Alex," to complete a new route, and in fact only Conrad Anker could swap leads with Lowe.
In Alaska, Lowed pulled off a one-day first ascent of Hunter's Moonflower Buttress; in his beloved Antarctica, Lowe's made numerous first ascents, including Mount Scott, south face, Rakekniven, Queen Maud Land, Minaret, Ellsworth Range; and in Baffin Island, he made the first ascent of Sail Peak with other members of The North Face climbing team.
With the freedom to climb wherever he wants, thanks to the title he doesn't want of world's greatest climber, repeat trips to Antarctica are definitely on his to do list.
