Nik Cook wins 120 mile race in the Canadian Arctic!

A couple of years ago I had the pleasure of climbing with Adventure Sports writer Nik Cook. Having just moved to the Peak District we spent a couple of days doing some leading climbing coaching at Froggatt and Stanage.

Not one to rest on the laurels Nik recently won the Rock and Ice Diamond Ultra (6 day self-sufficient stage race in the Canadian Arctic of 120 miles). In doing so, he set a new course record of 38 hrs and 59 mins. Well done Nik!

Nik was also kitted out by Haglofs for the event; here is what he had to say:

"With a race in the far Canadian North such as the 6633 Ultra, clothing and equipment, more than anything else, really can make the difference between success and failure. In being supported by Haglofs I was lucky enough to not only have kit of the highest technical quality but also to have access to the knowledge and expertise of athletes who regularly expose themselves to the rigours of the Arctic winter. Without a doubt my Haglofs kit played a significant role in my winning of the 120-mile event and setting a new course record." Nik Cook
