    Forbes.com - Magazine Article http://www.forbes.com/global/2003/1027/026_print.html Companies & Strategies Joann Muller, 10.27.03 Disney's 4-D technology aims to take the adventure out of building roller coasters. Get this: In the middle of sun-drenched Orlando, Fla. the Walt Disney Co. is erecting a 60-meter-high replica of snow-covered Mount Everest. It's a showcase attraction scheduled to open in 2006 at Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park. The premise: Visitors board an old mountain railway headed to the foot of Mount Everest. As the train climbs higher into "the Himalayas," it passes thick bamboo forests, thundering waterfalls and shimmering glacier fields. But the track ends unexpectedly in a gnarled mass of twisted metal. Suddenly the train begins racing forward and backward through caverns and icy canyons until riders come face to face with a giant hairy creature--the mythical yeti. It's enough to scare the wits out of Don W. Goodman, who has the job of ensuring that the $100 million roller coaster is finished on time--and on budget. It is a logistical nightmare: Hundreds of workers from independent contractors must simultaneously build the roller coaster and the mountain that contains it. They will erect 1,200 tons of steel and install one and a half hectares of rockwork. Goodman, president of Disney's Imagineering research lab, compares it to assembling a 3-D puzzle. It is difficult to anticipate the conflicts that will arise, say, between workers installing faux rock formations and crane operators erecting steel tracks.

  • Annapurna I, East Ridge, Third Ascent. One of the Most Nota
    C LIMBS A ND E XP E DITIONS : N E PA L 375 Nepal ANNAPURNA HIMAL Annapurna I, east ridge, third ascent. One of the most nota- ble accomplishments of the season was the second two- way traverse of the east ridge of Annapurna I (8,091m). When the well-known Pol- ish climber, Piotr Pustelnik, organized his four-man team for this task, he was well aware of the difficulties they would confront on this huge ridge, which starts from Tarke Kang (a.k.a. Glacier Dome, 7,193m) in the east and runs westward over Roc Noir to the three 8,000m summits of Annapurna. However, he did not anticipate the addition of two not-so-highly skilled Tibetans on his permit and the problems one of them would present. The first ascent of the east ridge, which resulted in an elegant traverse of Annapurna, ranks with some of the most significant events in the history of Himalayan climbing. The ridge was first attempted by Germans in 1969, and again in 1981 by a Swedish team, the latter getting as far as the East Summit of Annapurna. Both approached via the West Annapurna Glacier and the east side of the col north of Fluted Peak. In September and October 1984 a six-man expedition entirely formed of Swiss guides, established four camps from the South Annapurna Glacier, climbing to the col between Fluted Peak and Tarke Kang from the more difficult but less dangerous west side, then, in common with the Germans and Swedes, up the ridge above to Tarke Kang itself.

  • Paragliders and Modern Alpinism
    Paragliders and Modern Alpinism J o h n B o u c h a r d PARAGLIDERS OR PARAPENTES, as they are known in France, are the most radical development in alpine climbing since the ice-tool revolution in the seventies. Just as the new ice tools opened countless possibilities for more new exploits, paragliding is redefining the limits of what is possible in the mountains. Weighing as little as four pounds, they take up as much room as a small sleeping bag. They resemble the conventional RAM AIR sky-diving canopies, but they use a different material, airfoil and plan-form. Their rate of descent is around 600 to 900 feet per minute and so a 5000-foot descent can be made effortlessly in under ten minutes. For take-off you need a 30-foot-wide area which is at least 20 feet long and 18° steep. You lay the canopy on its back, arrange the lines, tie in, snap it over your head, run a few steps and you are airborne. A paraglider can also be used for bivouacs. During the last few years they have been the key element in arousing excitement for the enchainement or linking of more than one alpine wall. In the past helicopters were used to accomplish this and because of it few were interested. Christophe Profit used a parapente to descend the Walker Spur in his winter solo enchainement of the north faces of the Matterhorn, Eiger and Grandes Jorasses. Jean Marc Boivin used one to link in one day the Triolet, Courtes and Droites north faces.

He stepped onto the roof of the world with Nazir Sabir, a climber from Pakistan, and stared at the land far below. The date was May 17, 2000. Somewhere beneath him, in a camp he could not see, were the other members of the Canadian Everest Expedition, three climbers from Quebec who would not reach the summit of the world's tallest mountain. As Webster stood briefly on the peak -- for no one stays long on that icy pinnacle -- stories were already circulating he had left the other climbers behind, so driven was he to become the first Canadian of the new millennium to reach the top of Everest. He would learn of the stories later, and they would sting. Accusation followed nasty accusation, the worst perhaps being that the other climbers had quit on him, so totalitarian had they found his leadership. When Webster descended from the mountain, he walked into a firestorm of negative publicity that bothers him to this day. At times in the ensuing four Julie Oliver, The Citizen's Weekly Shaunna Burke, a U of O doctoral student, Andrew Lock, an Australian, years he would shrug, and say simply he was the and Hector Ponce de Leon, of Mexico, will attempt a team assault on strongest of the four climbers, the only one able to Everest in May, led by Ottawa climber Ben Webster.

While not a single climber reached the top of Gasherbrum I, a total of 25 summited K2 and were the fIrst to do so since July 1997. June's fine weather was rather too early for most expeditions to mount a summit bid, and by the next suitable period towards the end of July a signifIcant number of teams had already run out of time and left for home. Inevitably, there were several near misses but fortunately only one death. Sadly, this occurred to one of Spain's best-known mountaineers, Felix Iiiurrategi. The weather in the Karakoram was good throughout most of June and excellent in the latter part of the month. After this, however, the only clear weather window occurred briefly towards the end of July, with August generally bad owing to the influence of a heavy monsoon, and early September only marginally better. Access to Concordia for the 8000m peak base camps was easy early in the season owing to the low winter snowfall, but dry conditions on lower peaks and glaciers presented problems for numerous expeditions. The Baltoro SOOO-metre peaks Gasherbrum IT (803Sm) A total of 45 climbers representing 10 expeditions reached the 8035m summit of Gasherbrum IT, all between 20 and 30 July.

  • Death at Extreme Altitude
    Death at Extreme Altitude OSWALDOELZ In October 1988 four Czechoslovak climbers made the first alpine-style ascent of the formidable SW face of Mount Everest, first climbed in 1975 by Chris Bonington's large British expedition. They were equipped with the inner lining of one tent, two sleeping bags, two 40m climbing ropes, four ice axes, two ice hammers, three small cameras, one light video camera, a cooking stove and gas, food for three days and little else. After three and a half days they reached the south summit (8750m) and one climber continued to the summit (8872m). The others began to descend towards the South Col. In the early evening the summiteer rejoined the others at approximately 8300m and radioed that they felt bad and that three persons were nearly blind. They were never heard from again. Americans arriving at the South Col half an hour later could see the entire route to the south summit, but no signs of human activity. Since this area is easy scrambling ground for an experienced climber, the mass disappearance is most likely a consequence of high-altitude cerebral edema which caused the climbers to fall through a cornice or be blown off the ridge. This is just one recent example illustrating the horrifying statistics on the highest peaks of this globe. To date, 246 climbers have made a total of 275 ascents of MountEverest; 102 climbers have died on the slopes ofthis mountain (Elizabeth Hawley, personal communication). This ratio shows no decline in recent years. In the post-monsoon season of 1988, 31 individuals reached the summit of Mount Everest; nine climbers died, seven while attempting the summit without bottled oxygen.

Des- halb ging er langsam. Schritt für Schritt, wie ein Uhrwerk. Drei Jahre nach dem Neustart des Alpinen Museums sind mir seine Ratschläge noch im Ohr. Der Weg ist steil.
