Sherpi Kangri II, Southeast Ridge Pakistan, Karakoram, Saltoro Group
AAC Publications Sherpi Kangri II, Southeast Ridge Pakistan, Karakoram, Saltoro Group Sherpi Kangri II (ca 7,000m according to Eberhard Jurgalski and the Miyamori and Seyfferth maps; higher and lower heights also appear in print) lies at 35°28'45"N, 76°48'21"E on the Line of Control between the India- and Pakistan-controlled sectors of the East Karakoram. Prior to 2019, it had been attempted only once. In 1974, a Japanese expedition trying the east ridge of Sherpi Kangri I (7,380m) gave up and instead reported fixing around 1,000m of rope up the southeast ridge of Sherpi Kangri II, before retreating at 6,300m due to technical difficulty. On August 7, Matt Cornell, Jackson Marvel, and I (all USA) summited this peak via the southeast ridge in seven days round trip from base camp. Porter shortages resulted in a significantly lower base camp than we had planned—at around 3,700m on the west bank of the Sherpi Gang Glacier, more or less level with the first icefall. This required establishing three additional camps several kilometers apart, ferrying loads through complicated terrain, to reach the glacier plateau below the peak. After investing much time and energy on this approach, including portering some of our own loads to base camp, we did not have time to acclimatize as slowly as we would have liked for higher elevations. We therefore chose the seemingly nontechnical southeast ridge, so that we could bail quickly if one of us began to show signs of acute altitude sickness. We climbed to the summit from our highest glacier camp over two days, with one bivouac on the ridge.

2019 年 6 月・中印・印パ国境辺境高地の旅 (Rev 2020 0602)
1 2019 年 6 月・中印・印パ国境辺境高地の旅 (REV 2020 0602) 付・ラダック北部とヌブラ谷地方の外国人旅行地域解放の最新情報沖允人(Masato OKI) (1) 天空の中印国境を行く国境をめぐる争い 1962 年、インド北東部の Pangong Range(パンゴン山脈)の南東にある Chushul(4337m、チュスル、標高や地名綴りは地図や文献により違うので以下は Leomann Map に準拠した)周辺、および、アクサイチンとチャンタン地区 (Aksaichin,Changthang Region)でインドと中国は、熾烈な戦いをした。発端は、中国側の主張は、インド側の兵士が Mcmahone Line(マクマホン・ライン・注１)の北側(中国側)に侵入したといい、インド側の主張は中国軍がインド領である東北辺境地区(NEFA,North-East Frontiea Agency・注 2)に侵攻したという、1956 年頃から続いているチベットを巡る中国とインドとの対立の続きだといわれている。1962 年の戦いの結果はインド側の勝利に終わったが、インド側は 1383 名、中国側は約 722 名の戦死者がでたという（中印国境紛争・Wikipedia）。 1947 年の第一次中印国境紛争後、Aksaichin に中国人民解放軍が侵攻、中華人民共和国が実効支配をするようになると、パキスタンもそれに影響を受け、間もなく、パキスタン正規軍も投入され、カシミール西部を中心に戦闘が行なわれた。国際連合は 1948 年 1 月 20 日の国際連合安全保障理事会決議 39 でもって停戦を求めたが、戦争は継続され、停戦となったのは 1948 年 12 月 31 日のことであった。停戦監視のため、国際連合インド・パキスタン軍事監視団 (UNMOGIP)が派遣されたが、恒久的な和平は結ばれず、1965 年に第二次印パ戦争が勃発することとなる。 1965 年 8 月にパキスタンは武装集団をインド支配地域へ送り込んだ。これにインド軍が反応し、1965 年、第二次印パ戦争が勃発した。なお、その後、インドと中国・パキスタンの間で直接的な交戦は起こっていないが、中国によるパキスタン支援は、インドにとって敵対性を持つものであった。2010 年 9 月にはインドは核弾頭の搭載が可能な中距離弾道ミサイルをパキスタンと中国に照準を合わせて配備すると表明した。これらの戦争の結果、カシミールの 6 割はインドの実効支配するところとなり、残りがパキスタンの支配下となった（第二次印パ戦争 Wikipedia）。最近のインド・パキスタン情勢は「ヒマラヤ」489 号、2019 年・夏号・60-61 頁によると、印パ関係は悪化しているという。以上のように、中印国境と印パ国境地帯をめぐる「天空の争い」は根が深く、現在は一応、平穏に見えているが、何時この均衡が破れるかもしれないという、両国にとって気の抜けない地帯である。もちろん両国は、かなりの軍事施設を国境地帯に構築し、多くの軍隊を駐屯させている。このような状況から、インド政府は Chushul やその南東の中国国境に近い Hanle(4350m)とその周辺は外国人の立ち入りを厳しく制限していた。なお、2020 年 6 月 2 日の中日新聞朝刊 3 面の北京発の情報によると、中国がパンゴン湖の周辺などでインドに越境して不穏に情勢だと報じている。 Hanle 解放のニュース政情がどう変化したか察知できないが、2018 年末に、Hanle が外国人に開放されるというニュースが入り、2019 年 4 月から特別許可が発行されるという情報が、私の懇意にしているレーの旅行社

Three Visions of Rimo III 8000Ers
20 T h e A l p i n e J o u r n A l 2 0 1 3 Ten minutes after news of the pair’s success was communicated from the summit to basecamp, Agnieszka Bielecka got a radio message from Gerf- ried Göschl’s team to say they were camped about 300m below the summit SIMON YEARSLEY, MALCOLM BASS and preparing to set off. Making the summit bid Göschl himself, Swiss & RACHEL ANTILL aspirant guide Cedric Hahlen, and Nisar Hussain Sadpara, one of three professional Pakistani mountaineers to have climbed all five Karakoram Three Visions of Rimo III 8000ers. None of them was heard from or seen again. Adam Bielecki and Janusz Golab had reached the 8068m top of Gasherbrum I at 8.30am on 9 March; their novel tactic for winter high altitude climbing of leaving camp at midnight had worked. But the weather window was about to close. They descended speedily but with great care, reaching camp III at 1pm, by which time the weather had seriously deteriorated. Pressing on, they arrived at Camp II at about 5pm, ‘slightly frostbitten and very happy’. On 10 March all four members of the Polish team reached base- camp; both summiteers were suffering from second-degree frostbite, Adam Bielecki to his nose and feet, Janusz Golab to his nose. With concern mounting for Göschl, Hahlen and Nisar Hussain, a rescue helicopter was called, however poor weather stalled any flights until The Polish Gasherbrum team.(Adam Bielecki) the 15th when Askari Aviation was able to fly to 7000m and study the route.

A Siachen Peace Park?
HARISH KAPADIA A Siachen Peace Park? e were staying in army bunkers at base camp on the Siachen glacier. W In the next room I could hear my son, Nawang, then a young man of 20 years, talking with equally young lieutenants and captains of the Indian army. They were discussing their exploits on the glacier, the war and agitatedly talking about the friends being wounded and killed all around them. One well-meaning officer pointedly said to me as I entered the room to join the discussion: 'I am ready to fight for my country and defend the Siachen. But sir, I am young and I do not want my children and grand-children sitting on this high, forlorn Saltoro ridge defending the Siachen glacier. Why can't we have some solution to this wretched problem?' Another young officer added: 'Look at the glacier, a pristine mountain area polluted almost beyond repair. It will take decades, if not a century to rejuvenate. Something must be done.' These dedicated officers of the Indian army left the seed of an idea in my mind. This world is a legacy for the young, an area like Siachen belongs to them. They were ready to guard it with their lives; they meant well. My son, excited at the prospect of defending his country alongside other officers, had worked hard andjoined the army as a Gorkha Officer. Shortly thereafter he fell to a terrorist bullet in this bloody war in Kashmir. That seed of an idea became a raison d 'etre of my life.
