  • Ten Days on Vasuki Parbat
    MALCOLM BASS Ten Days on Vasuki Parbat s the rock flew past me I knew it was going to hit Paul. I’d heard it Acome banging and whirring down the gully, bigger and noisier than the others. I’d screamed ‘rock!’ but Paul, tethered on the open icefield below, had nowhere to hide. It smashed into the ice a metre out from my stance beneath a roof, and then spun out, arcing towards its target. The impact was a muffled thud. Paul crumpled onto the anchors. It was 3pm on day 3 and the sun was beating full onto Vasuki Parbat’s west face. Suddenly it was very quiet and I felt acutely alone. But then Paul began to move. Moans drifted up as he righted himself, then stood back up to the stance. ‘Paul, Paul … are you OK?’ ‘I think so.’ ‘Can you climb?’ ‘Give me a minute.’ I was desperate for Paul to start moving. I wanted to shout at him to get a move on (or words to that effect). We were at the bottom of a gully overhung by a 700m leaning wall of variable quality rock. For the last hour rockfall had been steadily increasing. The objective danger meter was swinging between ‘Unjustifiable’ and ‘Suicidal’. But Paul knew all that: any delay on his part could more reasonably be ascribed to having just been hit by a 3kg boulder that had fallen several hundred metres than to a lack of appreciation of the urgency of the situation. So I shut up. Paul collected himself, took out the ice screws, and began to climb towards me, slowly and stiffly at first.

  • Kalindi Khal Trek [ 5 946 M ]
    Réf. : ASI-IND13-TK India (Uttrachal) - Inde 18 Days Kalindi Khal Trek [ 5 946 M ] Trek through the Himalayas in the state of Uttaranchal, in northern India The Unbelievable Himalayan Landscapes Traditionally known as the Kalindikhal mountain pass trek, this is a high-altitude trek on the trail that leads from Gangotri to Badrinath. This is quite a physical trek that requires some basic knowledge of alpinism. You will start off in Gangotri, trekking through Tapovan, Nandavan, Vasuki Tal, Kalindikhal, to Gashtoli and finally finishing in Badrinath. During this hike, you will discover much of Gharwal, from Bhagirathi Valley to Alaknada Valley. This is an incredible trek, best suited for those who have already participated in high altitude treks. High-Altitude Trekking The Kalindikhal trek starts at Gongroti and continues across Nandavan, the base camp for the Bhagirathi summits, which has an amazing view over the Shivling Summit. The trail takes us towards Lake Vasuki Tal, which is surrounded by summits and situated at 4900m of altitude. The lake is the source of the River Ganga, which flows into the River Mandakini. We continue on to the Kalindikhal Pass (5968m), which is a difficult climb, but made easier by the breathtaking view of two snow-capped summits in front of us. The trail is now down-hill towards Lake Arwa and Mana village, which is the last village before the Chinese border. The trek finishes at Badrinath with a visit to the Sacred Temple.

  • Indian Himalaya Soli S. Mehta
    Triennial Report 1972-4 Indian Himalaya Soli S. Mehta If evidence was required to prove that fantastic Alpine techniques have come to the Himalaya in a big way, a review of the targets and their style of ascents by compact and efficient teams of the last few years would serve admirably. Not much longer will we have the dull plod up endless snow-slopes-the numerous camps-the siege tactics. True, they are unlikely to disappear altogether but they should be all but swamped by the tide of Grade V-VI routes that are now being opened up both in the Indian Himalaya as well as in Nepal. It almost seems as if Denis Gray's article in a recent issue of the Alpine Journal on Himalayan Ethic has been taken seriously! This review is not chronological-I need the freedom to highlight those factors that would be lost in a purely chronological geographical treatment of events. Firstly then the major problems-Saser Kangri (7672 m) and Changabang (6864 m). Nobody who has followed the progress of Himalayan peak-bagging could have failed to note the importance of these summits which had defied strong challenges in the past. Saser particularly has severe problems of approach. The more ob- vious route appears to be from the SW. but having beaten all previous attempts from this direction, the Indo Tibet Border Police expedition led by Commander Joginder Singh tried the longer and more precipitous route from the Nand E in the spring of 1973. The several crossings of the mighty Shyok river were enough to slow down progress before and all but maroon the party after the ascent.

  • Classification of the Himalaya
    Classification of the Himalaya COMPILED BY H. ADAMS CARTER This study aims to classify the different groups of the Himalaya from its eastern end westward through the peaks of Garhwal (Uttar Pradesh) in India. Wherever data have been available, it gives a listing of all peaks above 6500 meters (21,326 feet) and all officially named peaks between 6000 meters (19,685 feet) and 6500 meters with altitudes and coordinates. In some ranges, where peaks are lower, some unnamed peaks in the second category have been included. The Nepalese section depends almost entirely on the outstanding work done by Dr. Harka Gurung and Dr. Ram Krishna Shrestha. These two Nepalese scholars put together an inventory of all Nepalese peaks above 6000 meters with the latest altitudes, corrected names and coordinates. They used primarily the Survey of India topographic sheets at a scale of an inch to a mile (1:63,360). They also used maps ar 1:50,000 prepared for the Sino-Nepalese Boundary Agreement of 1979. For the Indian regions, extensive use was made of three maps published by the Schweizerische Stiftung fur Alpine Forschungen (Swiss Foundation for Al- pine Research) of Sikkim, Garhwal East and Garhwal West. Harish Kapadia and Dhiran Toolsides in particular gave great assistance by checking Indian data against further information available to them. Colonel Lakshmi Pati Shanna made valuable suggestions. Dr. Shi Yafeng also helped by providing an excel- lent Chinese map of the Everest region. In all sections, the Japanese Mountain- eering Maps of the World proved indispensable. Dr. Zbigniew Kowalewski had made fine studies, which are reflected here.

  • SWETA GLACIER EXPEDITION 1986 Organised by : South Calcutta Trekkers Association 1/3 Love Lock Street, Calcutta 700 019
    SWETA GLACIER EXPEDITION 1986 Organised by : South Calcutta Trekkers Association 1/3 Love Lock Street, Calcutta 700 019 Leader’s Report ORGANISATION & PLANNING : The Association formed with its objective to be a perfect mountaineering association by some local youths, who were going to see and enjoy the Himalayan beauty for the past eight years. After completion of Rock Climbing course in the year 1983 (organized by Himalayas Beckon) they thought without forming an association there was no alternative to enjoy the Himalayan beauty in a well and disciplined manner. At last in the month of March’83 we formed our Association named ‘South Calcutta Trekkers Association’. Our activity were who organized Rock Climbing course ; High altitude trekking in the Himalayan region to promote trekking, adventure activity amongst the young generation and we successfully did that. Most of the club members took training from Nehru Institute of Mountaineering, Uttar Kashi – Basic Mountaineering Course in the year 1985-86. At last in one Committee Meeting held sometimes in the month of September, 1985 was resolved to organise a peak climbing programme in 1986. I had been selected as Leader by the Executive Committee and two offers took the responsibility to choose the expedition area. We though to go to Sweta glacier of Gangotri-Chaturangi complex of Garhwal Himalaya in the month of May – June’86. With this view we talk with Miss Munmun Chatterjee of Baje- Shibpur Mitali Sangha (Howrah) who went to this area in 1984 to climb two virgin and unnamed peaks of height 6166 Mtr. and 6352 Mtr. After long discussion we planned to undertake our first peak climbing programme (peaks : 6166 mtr.

  • Satopanth 7075M
    Satopanth 7075m EXPEDITION OVERVIEW Our expedition to Satopanth combines the ascent of a magnificent, remote 7000m peak with a genuine cultural experience. Satopanth is situated deep in the Indian Garhwal Himalaya - the home to India’s most spectacular peaks, on a par with, or even better than, the best the likes of Nepal has to offer . The approach to the mountain is overland from Delhi, a ‘traditional’ journey rather than the whistle-stop helicopter approach used so often in other countries. This approach is shared with pilgrims to one of India’s holiest sites, Gaumukh, the source of the Ganges which we pass on trek in to the mountain. Above Gaumukh a long glacial approach leads up to the North East Ridge of Satopanth, which is ascended via steep mixed climbing, broad and narrow ridges and an exposed traverse across a 50 degree ice slope. Usually we place three camps between base camp and the summit, from where you can feast your eyes on nearby Shivling and beyond to Nanda Devi, Kashmir and Tibet Participation Statement AdventurePeaks recognises that climbing, hill walking and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions and involvement. Adventure Travel – Accuracy of Itinerary Although it is our intention to operate this itinerary as printed, it may be necessary to make some changes as a result of flight schedules, climatic conditions, limitations of infrastructure or other operational factors. As a consequence, the order or location of overnight stops and the duration of the day may vary from those outlined.

  • Vasuki Parbat – the Judgement Game
    Alpinism Simon Pierse, La Grivola, 2006, watercolour, 72 x 53cm 1 MICK FOWLER Vasuki Parbat The Judgement Game he cold was getting to be a concern. It was early on our fifth day on the Tface. Starting up a difficult pitch I took my mitt off to use an undercut for 20 seconds or so. On removing my fingers from the crack I was shocked to see a blister on my middle finger. I warmed it immediately but I swear it was a blister – a memorable, unwelcome and frightening new experience after more than 25 years climbing in the greater ranges. Stakes were rising in the judgement game.
