Ah! On the plaque “Without an escort vessel.”
I thought I remembered a more recent reenactment - 2013- but they did have an escort. They claimed that they included the climb over South Georgia.
My memory of both re-enactments is that the participants said they wondered if they’d survive and couldn’t believe Shackleton did it with the equipment on hand.
