  • One Hundred Years Ago (With Extracts from the Alpine Journal) C
    - SPANISH EXPEDITION TO SARAGHRAR, 1977 have not obviously the same comfort in a snow ascent as in a full rock ascent as is the case of Saraghrar SW buttress. However, bad weather and the end of available time finally caused the climb to be abandoned. The second attempt took place in 1977. The team consisted of 12 members, one of them a doctor as well as a climber. The team reached the highest point of 1975 and continued along a very severe section to the point where the buttress looks to be less steep. During the following weeks Camps 5 and 6 were placed after overcoming new difficulties. At an altitude of6350m the leading party found that the buttress was cut ofT by a gap from the upper wall ofSaraghrar. The difficulties ofthis second part ofthe wall appeared to be great, since in the absence offlat ledges new high camps would have to be hung with ropes while a new supply offood, ropes and tents would have to be brought from the foot of the wall. The climb was therefore abandoned. This confirms that the SW wall of Saraghrar Peak is at the moment one of the highest and most difficult rock walls in the world. The party reached Base Camp at Totiraz oku (4160m) on 24 June and left it on 2 August. The members of the team were: Raman Bramona (leader); Jordi Pons (deputy leader); Jaime Altadill;Jose Manuel Anglada;Joan Cerda;Joan Claramunt;Jordi Colomer; Joan Massons; Jose Luis Perez; Anton Raiie (doctor); Genis Roca and Francisco Sabat.

  • July 10, 1890 Wyoming Becomes a State
    July 10, 1890 Wyoming Becomes a State Wyoming is a state that attracts many visitors who come to see the various beautiful vistas it has to offer. With the towering mountains, beautiful forests, and amazing state and national parks, Wyoming is absolutely breathtaking. Along with the natural beauty of the state, you can find much history as you visit. Three of the major pioneer trails cross Wyoming, and many historic forts were built throughout the state. Fort Laramie still has some of the original buildings that have been restored. Wyoming has been nicknamed the “Equality State” because women in Wyoming gained equal rights before women in other states. Many famous people are from Wyoming, including Vernon J. Baker, Leonard S. Hobbs, Thomas A. Coburn, and Curt Gowdy. Look at the map of Wyoming below. Label the capital of Wyoming. Locate the cities of Casper, Laramie, Gillette, Rock Springs, Baggs, Riverton, Thermopolis, Buffalo, Sheridan, Sundance, Jackson, Pinedale, Big Piney, Lance Creek, Sheridan, and Lovell, and label them on the map. Now label the Rocky Mountains, Bighorn Mountains, Laramie Range, Absaroka Range, Wind River Range, Granite Mountains, Teton Mountains, Medicine Bow Mountain Range, Wyoming Range, Gannett Peak, and Wind River Peak. Also, locate the Green River, Cheyenne River, Niobrara River, North Platte River, Snake River, Bear River, Shoshone River, Fremont Lake, Jackson Lake, and Yellowstone Lake, and label them. Lastly, label the states or bodies of water that border Wyoming. When you have finished, move on to the timeline of Wyoming history on the next page and the research prompts that follow.

  • HIKING the ATHABASCA GLACIER Picture a River of Ice 3% Miles Long
    Vol. XXXIV, No. 1 JANUARY - MARCH, 2001 HIKING THE ATHABASCA GLACIER Picture a river of ice 3% miles long, 1/4 mile wide, 1200 feet deep and riddled with thousands of 100-foot cavernous crevasses, and you will have an idea of the enormity of the Athabasca Glacier in the Canadian Rockies. On a sunny August day, these factors, coupled with temperatures in the 50- degree range and winds blowing at 20 mph, were the ingredients of a very exciting and interesting hike on the Athabasca Glacier. It covers an area greater than the city of Vancouver and feeds rivers that flow into three different oceans — the Arctic, Pacific and Atlantic. This phenomenon occurs in only one other known place in the world — Siberia. Glaciers are an important geographical occurrence because they hold 75% of the world's fresh water supply. Many people in the world rely on the water preserved in glaciers and ice caps for drinking. With 45 feet of fresh snow per year turning to ice, people might think that their water supply was insured. However, for the past 130 years, our warming climate has shrunk two-thirds of the glacier's volume and more than half of its surface area. Since 1870 its length continues to shrink from 3 to 25 feet per year depending on the warmth of a particular year. Equally impressive with the sheer size of the Athabasca Glacier is its complexity. As the glacial ice flows, it picks up fragments of rock along its way and pushes these rock fragments along with it.

He is reported to have been in the area for two weeks and four days on the final climb. He is said to have taken only 36 hours in a single push from the top of the Japanese Couloir. With his usual reticence, Porter has given us no details. Mount McKinley, Couloir from West Buttress Route to Kahiltna- horn. Reinhold Messner and I made a new ascent route on Mount McKinley on June 13. We started from the landing area on the Kahiltna Glacier on June 6 and climbed the West Buttress route to the basin at 14,000 feet. From there it took us 10 hours to the summit; Messner descended in two hours and I in four. The couloir we climbed is the Hourglass Couloir, the one down which Saudan skied. We climbed without a rope. Most of the route had good snow conditions, though there were a few places with water-ice covered by snow.

A genuine small town, it is the cen- tral business hub of Star Valley, which was settled by pioneers from the LDS (Mormon) church in 1879. The winter of 1879-1880 was brutal, but they endured the near starvation and frigid tem- peratures. In the center of town, the Afton Tabernacle still stands as a monument to their fortitude. The signature Elkhorn Arch nearby, which spans Main Street, is made of over 3,000 antlers. Afton celebrated its first 100 years in 2002. Though still a dominantly agricultural community, locals have embraced tourism, which has resulted from the overflow of visitors to the Jackson and the Wind River areas.
