  • Climbing America's
    batical leave in Scandinavia, I finally reached the 5895m summit of Africa’s high- est mountain. In 1986, the year after I climbed Kilimanjaro, Dick Bass, Frank Wells, and Rick Ridgeway published Seven Summits, an account of Bass and Wells’ attempt to climb the highest peak on each of the world’s seven continents. I bought their book and devoured it. Inspired by it, I devised my own climbing goal—to climb at least ‘Three-and-a-Half Summits’: namely, at least three of the six highest of the Seven Summits plus Australia’s Mt Kosciuszko, which is a mere 2228m above sea level (i.e., less than half the height of Antarctica’s Vinson Massif, the sixth-lowest of the Seven Summits), and Kosciuszko can therefore, as a Kiwi I quipped, really only be regarded as a half-summit. I made reasonably quick progress towards achieving my goal. In August 1994, I climbed Russia’s Mt Elbrus, 5642m, the highest mountain in Europe. In December the same year, I summited 6962m-high Cerro Aconcagua in Argentina, the highest mountain in South America (which I like to tell people is ‘the highest mountain in the world outside Asia,’ and then hope their geography is so weak that they don’t realise how huge an exclusion clause those two words, ‘outside Asia’, are). I then decided to have a crack at climbing Denali, and on 6 July 1997 stood proudly on the 6194m-high summit of North America’s high- est peak and held up a t-shirt from Victoria University (which is where I taught political science for many years).

Marston, Larry 0. Pochop, Greg L. Kerr, Marjorie Lm Varuska 1 ABSTRACT: The largest concentration of glaciers in the American Rocky Mountains occurs in the Wind River Range of Wyoming, but the contribution of glacier meltwater to flow in headwater streams of the Green River and Wind River drainages has not been documented. The present study documents the loss of ice in Dinwoody and Gannett Glaciers since the 1930's and the importance of glacier meltwater to overall water supply in the Green River and Wind River drainages. Both glaciers have retreated and lost thickness in the last five decades, but repeat photography revealed that Dinwoody Glacier has responded more dramatically than Gannett Glacier to the unfavorable climatic conditions. This contrast can be explained by the difference in area-elevation curves between the two glaciers. The estimated glacier meltwater from Dinwoody and Gannett Glaciers amounts to 27 percent of the September runoff and 32 percent of the October runoff in lower Dinwoody Creek. The July-October runoff from glaciers in the Wind River Range is approximately 70 x 1063 m , or eight percent of the average runoff in the Wind River and Green River basins during that four-month period.

  • Comment on Recommended Wilderness!
    Comment on Recommended Wilderness! A primer for writing your own comments to the Forest Service OVERVIEW The Salmon-Challis National Forest is the largest forest in the state, and contains some of its wildest remaining unroaded areas, such as the Lost River Range, Pioneer Mountains, and Lemhi Range. Forest planning is the process through which the Forest Service determines which areas ​ ​ have the highest and best wilderness value and thus should be considered by Congress for future conservation. The Forest Service would like to know if you think that any specific areas on ​ the Salmon-Challis should be recommended for formal wilderness protection. Federally ​ ​ designated wilderness remains the gold standard for protecting wild places on our public lands! HOW YOU CAN HELP: SPEAK UP TODAY! If you have 5 minutes... Use the webmap commenting tool to write a quick comment linked to a particular area, or write a ​ ​ general comment in support of recommended wilderness through the ICL Take Action center. ​ ​ If you have 15 minutes... Write multiple comments through the webmap tool or a longer comment through the Take Action ​ ​ ​ page where you share a meaningful experience you’ve had in the wilderness evaluation areas. ​ ​ ​ If you have 30 minutes... Write a more detailed comment that shares personal stories and touches upon several areas under consideration for recommended wilderness. Submit via email ([email protected]). ​ ​ COMMENT WRITING TIPS ● Make it personal. Personal stories are more powerful because they show that you have a ​ tangible connection to these places. Draw upon your own experiences to express why certain places are important to you and why they should be recommended as wilderness.
