  • Mists on Mont Blanc. by A
    MlSTS ON MONT BLANC • • MISTS ON MONT BLANC. BY A. D. M. COX -,HE English July of I955, a month of cloudless skies and baro­ meter set fair, had made it difficult to believe the unfavourable reports about conditions in the Alps. Wilfrid Noyce and I, going on ead of the others, left London airport on July 29 in hot sunshine, to land at Geneva in a downpour which confined passengers to the plane until an issue· of red umbrellas enabled them to make exit two by two, as if from the ark. The speed with which the umbrellas were produced suggested that the routine was familiar. At Les Contamines, where we arrived the same evening, it was evident that there had been plenty of such weather, and storms never seemed very far away during the next two and a half weeks. But if it was a highly unsettled season, it was at least not an impossible one. like I954· Climbing of some kind was nearly always practicable, but it was never certain from day to day of what kind it would be. Changes were rapid and unforeseen. Thick cloud and depressing rain at night would suddenly give place to clear starlight. A glorious morning would turl) to snow before midday. It was an unpredictable year to have picked for a season in the neighbour­ hood of Mont Blanc. Noyce and I spent our first day on Mont Tondu and the western Aiguille des Lanchettes, returning in the evening to Les Contamines. There we were joined by John Hunt, who had.

  • 'Coolest of the Cool'

Reginald’s great grand- mother was Flora Macdonald, Charles Edward Stuart’s saviour in the ‘Coolest of The Cool’ aftermath of the 1745 rebellion. Macdonald had no recollection of his father who died of an unknown illness in Lucknow in 1842. The following A portrait of Reginald Macdonald XI of Kingsburgh year his uncle, Major James Somerled Macdonald X of Kingsburgh, died childless and the title passed to his young nephew. By this time it carried no lands or wealth and was simply the territorial designation of the tack or long lease formerly held by the family at Snizort on the Isle of Skye. The Kingsburgh Family Book records, that like his father, Macdonald was educated at Elgin Academy and subsequently at Eton. He was not one of the school’s most gifted pupils, and his school days and career in the civil service are aptly summed up in a poem describing former alumni: There are some who did nothing at school, much since; And others much then, since naught… There were several duffers and several bores Whose faces I’ve half forgot, Whom I lived among, when the world was young, And who talked ‘no end of rot’; Are they now little clerks who stroll in the parks Or scribble with grimy fist? Or rich little peers who live on Scotch moors? Well, they’re all in the Old School List With little family wealth to support him Macdonald was forced to seek Reginald John Somerled Macdonald XI gainful employment, and with few connections and no qualifications his of Kingsburgh (1840-76).(The Library of options were limited.

  • Notes 1971 the Alps Colin Taytor
    Notes 1971 The Alps Colin Taytor Summary The summer season of 1971 must be one of the best on record. In the Western Alps the winter snowfall was late and less than usual, so the big classic faces came into condition early and remained in good condition for much of the season, in spite of several quite big storms in late July and August. A solo first ascent and half a dozen solo ascents of major routes were made by British climbers. British parties also made ascents of important routes such as the North-west faces of the Olan and the Ailefroide in the Dauphine, the Brouillard Pillars, the Grand Pilier d'Angle, the Central Pillar of Freney and the Droites North face in the Mont Blanc region, and of the Eiger and the Matterhorn North faces. Many other British parties made notable ascents and the notes below, while not complete, are confined mainly to their achievements. Details of ascents by continental climbers can be found in Alpine Climbing and in the continental journals, particularly La Montagne and Alpinismus. I am grateful particularly to Doug Scott, the Editor of Alpine Climbing and to Ken Wilson, the Editor of Mountain for collecting much of the information on which these notes are based, and also to many others who sent in information about their routes. DAUPHINE Probably more English parties climbed in the Dauphine in the summer of 1971 than ever before. Weather conditions were good, particularly during July, although several big storms occurred in August. As a result, many of the big routes were in condition.

STEVENS. 0 more important and interesting document has come down to us from the era in which modern mountaineering began than the MS. diary of Dr. M. G. Paccard of Chamonix, who with Jacques Balmat made the first ascent of Mont Blanc in 1786. The late C. E. Mathews obtained the diary from Dr. Paccard's great-grandson, Ambroise-Adolpha Balmat. He made some use of it in his 'Annals of Mont Blanc,' and bequeathed it to the Alpine Club. It is now carefully preserved in a special morocco case as one of the chief treasures of the Club library. A transcript of the text was made by (or for) the late H. F. Montagnier quem honoris causa nomino and from this a nearly complete reprint was published, with the consent of the Committee of the Alpine Club, as an appendix to Dr. Dubi's 'Paccard wider Balmat ' (1913). This is the 'Only form in which the whole text of the diary is accessible, and unfortunately Dr. Dubi's book is long since out of print.l Some extracts, however (relating to the ascents between 1787 and 1825), were printed in Mr. Montagnier's valuable article 1 It would be a boon to many students if a reprint of the diary (and perhaps of a few other rare documents of the period) could be published at a moderate price.

We present the glacier-wide summer surface mass balances determined by a detailed hydro- logical balance (sSMBhydro) and the quantification of the uncertainties of the calculations on the Argentière and Mer de Glace-Leschaux drainage basins, located in the upper Arve watershed (French Alps), over the period 1996–2004. The spatial distribution of precipitation within the study area was adjusted using in situ winter mass-balance measurements. The sSMBhydro performance was assessed via a comparison with the summer surface mass balances based on in situ glaciological observations − (sSMBglacio).

  • In Defence of Skiing
    218 IN DEFENCE OF SKIING IN DEFENCE OF SKIING BY MALCOLM SLESSER N Scotland where the winters are long and awful and largely un­ related to the month of the year the possession of an ice-axe is less a status symbol than a practical necessity. To those who cherish the belief that the highest art of the mountaineer is rock climbing, the intellectual niceties of the avalanche-proneness of a slope or the brittle­ ness of a seventy-two-hour-old black ice slick are clearly lost. But the life of the ice climber in Scotland is a hard one. The infidelities of age and the slow stark dawns of mid-winter Scotland gnaw at resolve. And in the all too short day an hour's dalliance with one's sleeping bag is to lose the chance. Is it any wonder, then, that even amongst the most faithful, the lure of the ski wins eventually? For here, transported weightlessly to mountain summits, and given. wings to fly down their flanks, one can recapture youth, and still have a healthy and justifiable thirst to quench at the day's end. The trouble with skiing, your true mountaineer soon finds, is the genus skier. The soul of the skier is a thing apart, and no fit study for a pure-hearted man. Though perhaps no more obsessive than the climber he is the greater egotist. Witness his eyes perpetually fastened to a point 10ft. ahead of his feet, whether on skis or in the queue. Moreover, to judge by the mass, he not only tolerates noise and propinquity, he relishes it.
