Volumes 74 to 92 1968 to 1987 Volumes 74 to 92 INDEX The Alpine Journal 1969-87 Compiled by J .R. Murray The Alpine Club, 74 South Audley Street, London Wl Y 5FF ISBN 0 900523 56 5 Printed by Titus Wilson & Son Ltd., Kendal, Cumbria. Foreword This index has been compiled on the same basis as the previous volume. The only illustrations that have been indexed are, in general, those of single mountains or ranges which are likely to be helpful or of interest. Now that there are more articles about the Greater Ranges than the Alps, the Special Districts section in this index has been expanded to include Alpine articles. I am grateful to Mr W.L. 'Robin' Robinson for his practical help and very useful advice in compiling this index, and to Sheila Harrison for her work on the typescript and for coping with my hand-writing. The following abbreviations have been used : art. = article M.E.F. = Mount Everest Foundation Aig. = Aiguille Mt = Mount, Mont asc. = ascent Mte = Monte C.A.F. = Club Alpin Francais obit. = obituary c.A.1. = Club Alpin Italiano port. = portrait ed. = editor Pt = Point exped(s) = expedition(s) Pta = Punta Ln. = footnote Pte = Pointe ill. = illustration U.I.A.A. = Union International I.M.F. = Indian Mountaineering des Associations Federation d' Alpinisme John Murray GENERAL INDEX 3 ABALAKOV, V.M.: obit. 92289 Accidents: Abi Gamin: 4th asc., 75 195 Transalai Pamir, 80 263 Abominable Snowman: Tukucha West, 76229 investigation, 80 101-4 Unnamed (Himachal Pradesh), notes, 80 285; 85 247 74226 Abraham, A.P. & G.D.: Vancouver, Mt, 74242 their careers, art. 79 55 Aconcagua: new route on, 84241 note on, 80284 guidebook, 88 244 Access problems: in Britain, 83256 asc. of S face, 89 159 in USA, 83 257 ill. 89 following 160 Accidents: statistics, 74 145 Acute mountain sickness: and equipment, 74307-8 pulmonary & cerebral oedema, and rescue, 75 265 art. 81 217; 89 68 Alpine 1968, 75 265 see also Oedema Alpine 1969, 75 137 Adam Smith, G.: Survey of British 1959-68, 75 265; early Alpine Club member, 87 142 87234 Adam Smith, J.: 'A family century IMF concern about Himalayan, in the Alpine Club', 87 142 87234 Adams, M: Annapurna, 7632; 79 255; 84231; 'Northern Andean Butterflies - 85223-4 Search and Research', 89 90 Atrak Zorn South, 74 197 Adcock, D.: 'Yerupaja traverse: the Bethartoli Himal, 76 226 NZ expedition', 747 Blanc, Mt (1870), 76287 Adesfjell: Blanc, Mt, Massif, 76 193 1st asc. by SE cracks, 76 191 Broad Peak, 82 132-3 Adiabatic Lapse Rate: 81 82 Buchaille Etive, 76 337-8 Aerosols: Chomolhari, 76223 effect on atmosphere, 84247 Cook, Mt, 78 244 Africa: see also Atlas, Ethiopia, Dhaulagiri, 75 197 Hoggar, Kenya, Kilimanjaro, Dhaulagiri IV, 75 196; 79 255; Niger, Rhodesia, Ruwenzori, 80264 Uganda Eiger Nordwand, 74 67 East: triennial report 1971-3, Everest, Mt, 80266; 81 13; 82 30, 79225 34; 85223 notes: Everest, Mt, NE ridge, 88 262-5 1975, 81 236 1979, 85220 Fitzroy, 79 259 1976, 82235 1980, 86223 Frundenhorn, 75 142 1978, 84223 Grand Capucin, 76 193 North: triennial report 1971-3, Grandes Jorasses, Walker Spur, 79226 75139 South: triennial report 1971-3, K2, 92215-7 79219 Kenya, Mt, 76 208 notes: Khinyang Chhish, 7724 1968, 74182 1981, 87219 Koh-i-Bandaka, 74 196 1969,7571,150 1982, 88203 Lamtrang Lirung, 84 232 1972, 78234 1983, 89228 Malubiting, 74 224; 76 189 1974, 80261 1984, 90240 Manaslu, 79 18-20; 80 99 1975, 81236 1985, 91 223 Manaslu E face, 78241 1978, 84223 1986, 92233 Matterhorn, 74 67 1980, 86221 Nanda Khat, 76 227 events & trends 1974-6, 82 227 Nanga Parbat, 76 221 climbing scene, art. 85 182; 87 109 Peak 29, 76229 Table Mountain, history of, 83 120 Picos de Norte, Cordillera Real, guidebook to Mulanje Massif, 78204 85221 Shispare, 80225 guidebook to Atlas Mts, 86 224 4 INDEX TO VOLUMES 74-92 Agner, Mte: 1st British asc. of N Algeria: face, art. 74 36 Djurdjura mountains, note, 77243 by N ridge, 75 146 Algie, Sir R.M.: obit. 85 259 Agnew of Lochnaw Yr., Sir C.H., Ali Ratni Tibba: 1st asc., 75 9 Bt.: 'Elephant Island', 77 204 by S face, 78 42 'Crossing the Hielo Patagonico del local name of, 7843 Norte', 7943 4th asc., 79 22, 27 'Soldiers on Api', 86 167 Allalinjoch: crossed, 74 89 Agnolotti, G.: his book: (with G.

  • Gear Brands List & Lexicon
    Gear Brands List & Lexicon Mountain climbing is an equipment intensive activity. Having good equipment in the mountains increases safety and your comfort level and therefore your chance of having a successful climb. Alpine Ascents does not sell equipment nor do we receive any outside incentive to recommend a particular brand name over another. Our recommendations are based on quality, experience and performance with your best interest in mind. This lexicon represents years of in-field knowledge and experience by a multitude of guides, teachers and climbers. We have found that by being well-equipped on climbs and expeditions our climbers are able to succeed in conditions that force other teams back. No matter which trip you are considering you can trust the gear selection has been carefully thought out to every last detail. People new to the sport often find gear purchasing a daunting chore. We recommend you examine our suggested brands closely to assist in your purchasing decisions and consider renting gear whenever possible. Begin preparing for your trip as far in advance as possible so that you may find sale items. As always we highly recommend consulting our staff of experts prior to making major equipment purchases. A Word on Layering One of the most frequently asked questions regarding outdoor equipment relates to clothing, specifically (and most importantly for safety and comfort), proper layering. There are Four basic layers you will need on most of our trips, including our Mount Rainier programs. They are illustrated below: Underwear

  • Club Activities
    Club Activities EDITEDBY FREDERICKO.JOHNSON A.A.C.. Cascade Section. The Cascade Section had an active year in 1979. Our Activities Committee organized a slide show by the well- known British climber Chris Bonington with over 700 people attending. A scheduled slide and movie presentation by Austrian Peter Habeler unfortunately was cancelled at the last minute owing to his illness. On-going activities during the spring included a continuation of the plan to replace old bolt belay and rappel anchors at Peshastin Pinnacles with new heavy-duty bolts. Peshastin Pinnacles is one of Washington’s best high-angle rock climbing areas and is used heavily in the spring and fall by climbers from the northwestern United States and Canada. Other spring activities included a pot-luck dinner and slides of the American Women’s Himalayan Expedition to Annapurna I by Joan Firey. In November Steve Swenson presented slides of his ascents of the Aiguille du Triolet, Les Droites, and the Grandes Jorasses in the Alps. At the annual banquet on December 7 special recognition was given to sec- tion members Jim Henriot, Lynn Buchanan, Ruth Mendenhall, Howard Stansbury, and Sean Rice for their contributions of time and energy to Club endeavors. The new chairman, John Mendenhall, was introduced, and a program of slides of the alpine-style ascent of Nuptse in the Nepal Himalaya was presented by Georges Bettembourg, followed by the film, Free Climb. Over 90 members and guests were in attendance. The Cascade Section Endowment Fund Committee succeeded in raising more than $5000 during 1979, to bring total donations to more than $12,000 with 42% of the members participating.

  • Scenes from the 20Th Century
    Scenes from the 20th Century REINHOLD MESSNER An Essay for the New Millennium Based on a lecture given at the Alpine Club Symposium: 'Climbing into the Millennium - Where's it Going?' at Sheffield Hallam University on 6 March 1999 erhaps I'm the right age now, with the right perspective to view Pmountaineering, both its past and its future. Enough time has elapsed between my last eight-thousander and my first heart attack for me to be able to look more calmly at what it is we do. I believe it will not be easy for us to agree on an ethic that will save mountaineering for the next millennium. But in our search for such an ethic we first need to ask ourselves what values are the most important to us, both in our motivation for going to the mountains and on the mountains themselves. The first and most important thing I want to say has to do with risk. If we go to the mountains and forget that we are taking a risk, we will make mistakes, like those tourists recently in Austria who were trapped in a valley hit by an avalanche; 38 of them were killed. All over Europe people said: 'How could 38 people die in an avalanche? They were just on a skiing holiday.' They forgot that mountains are dangerous. But it's also important to remember that mountains are only dangerous if people are there. A mountain is a mountain; its basic existence doesn't pose a threat to anyone. It's a piece of rock and ice, beautiful maybe, but dangerous only if you approach it.

  • THE FUHRERBUCH of JOHANN JAUN by D
    • .. THE FUHRERBUCH OF JOI-IANN JAUN . • • THE FUHRERBUCH OF JOHANN JAUN By D. F. 0. DANGAR ' WING to 1-Ians' abnormal carelessness in regard to all matters appertaining to himself, the greater part of his mountaineering achievements are not recorded in this book at all. He is fortunately in the habit of leaving it at home, or it would long since have been destroyed or lost.' Thus \vrote Sir Edward Davidson in the Fuhrerbuch of Hans Jaun, in 1887. Covering a period of thirty-five years, the book contains but thirty­ one entries most of them signed by the best known amateurs of the time and it is therefore a very incomplete history of J aun's career. Although his habit of leaving his book at home is, no doubt, the chief reason for the many omissions, several of his Herren must bear a share of the responsibility. J. Oakley Maund, for instance, apart from signing with C. T. Dent an entry in reference to an ascent of the Bietschhorn, has written less than a dozen lines in the book, and he does not specifically mention a single one of the many expeditions he made with Jaun. Of two entries by Herr Georg Griiber, one covers a period of seven years, and neither Maund nor Middlemore makes mention of the work of that glorious week in 1876 which, as one of the participants held, ' was entitled to be considered from a purely climbing point of view as a tour de force unsurpassed in the history of the Alps.' Middlemore, however, has paid a." well deserved tribute to his old guide in Pioneers of the Alps.
