Las fechas en las que se llevarían a cabo ambas expediciones van desde la primera semana de marzo a la última de de mayo (en torno a 90 días, 45 por expedición con traslados interiores). La estrategia que plantea es, viajar durante la primera semana de marzo al Shisha Pangma (Tíbet) y en torno al 12 de abril, haya ascendido o no al Shisha, desplazarse en helicóptero desde Katmandú al campo base del Annapurna (Nepal). Obviamente, si en estas fechas está a punto de hacer cumbre en el Shisha y tiene posibilidades podría retrasar un poco su desplazamiento a la zona del Annapurna. El traslado entre una y otra montaña se llevaría a cabo en helicóptero desde Katmandú, para evitar la complicada marcha de aproximación al Annapura. Edurne y el equipo de alpinistas llegarían aclimatados y podrían iniciar inmediatamente la ascensión.

Judging from the dispatches, the wind seems to alternate between hard and calm. More climbers are going up tonight, also on Lhotse, Everest North side, Kangchenjunga and Makalu. Watch for the oxygen-less attempts and a paraglide on Everest tonight, possibly even on the webcam just set up by the scientists at the Italian solar pyramid close to BC. Technology The EvK2Cnr Everest webcam has just been set up by the High Altitude Scientific and Technological Research. Here's from the press release: "The picture shows Mount Everest, 8,848 m, the highest mountain in the world. On the right you can see the South Col plateau, 8,000 m. The image is updated every 5 minutes, and you can even see the movements of clouds around the mountain. The webcam is active only with daylight, almost between 6 am and 18 pm, Nepali time zone." Everest South Gavin Bate (watch it live, take 1)/Adventure Alternative intended climbing up to Camp 4 (8,000m) on the South Col today, which means summit push tonight. "Looking at forecast it seems that there may be high winds tonight and tomorrow but if the team can make it up to camp 4 on the 19th May then it looks very positive for a summit on the morning of the 20th May! If not the 20th then the 21st which also looks like it will be favourable weather conditions." MountainTrip, led by Scott Woolums, aborted their summit attempt reporting strong and increasing winds.

  • Implosion Connecticut Climbers Defied Death at the Top of the World, No One Imagined the View Would Turn So Ugly
    Implosion Connecticut Climbers Defied Death At The Top Of The World, No One Imagined The View Would Turn So Ugly. By MICHAEL KODAS © The Hartford Courant November 14, 2004 Northeast Magazine Cover Story Anne Parmenter, co-leader of the Connecticut Everest Expedition, was too busy settling the team's accounts at a mountaineering company in Katmandu, Nepal, to notice the workers hanging a bright red banner honoring the group. " ... Congratulations To Mr. George Dijmarescu For Your Sixth Consecutive Summit, To Ms. Lhakpa Sherpa For Her Fourth World Record Successful Summit And To the Members of the Connectcut [sic] Mt. Everest Expedition," read the pennant, a full 10 feet wide. By mountaineering measures, it had been a successful expedition. A week earlier, four of the team's seven members reached the highest point on Earth. But when Anne stepped onto the balcony of the fourth-floor office of Asian Trekking on May 27 and saw the banner, she responded with anything but pride. "Take it down," the Trinity coach told Dawa Sherpa, the company's business manager. "If you're going to recognize him," she declared, her voice rising in anger, "I'm not paying my bill." Dawa brought scissors from his office to help Anne slice out George Dijmarescu's name. When Dawa found the edited version too ugly to display, Anne offered to pay for a new one. But the tribute never hung again. Nothing in the e-mail signed by George that I received five days later indicated he knew about the edited flag. Still, he was livid with Anne.

  • Climate Change, "Everestification,"
    CLIMATE CHANGE, "EVERESTIFICATION," AND THE FUTURE OF MOUNTAINEERING ON ANNAPURNA I by Jamie Leanne Hutchinson A Thesis Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Environmental Studies The Evergreen State College June 2020 ©2020 by Jamie Hutchinson. All rights reserved. This Thesis for the Master of Environmental Studies Degree by Jamie Hutchinson has been approved for The Evergreen State College by ________________________ Kathleen Saul, Ph. D. Member of the Faculty ________________________ Date ABSTRACT Climate Change, "Everestification", and the Future of Mountaineering on Annapurna I Jamie Hutchinson This study aims to research how climate change is affecting the Annapurna Conservation Area in the Western Region of Nepal. This region consists of two mountain districts, three hill districts, and encompasses the Annapurna massif. Temperature and Precipitation data was obtained from the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, Nepal, spanning thirty years (1988-2018). Monthly, Seasonal and Yearly data were aggregated and averaged for both datasets, and statistical analysis was completed using JMP and Excel. Results indicate overall warming in all districts by 1°C, with higher elevations being impacted more than lower. Precipitation tests show strong seasonal intensity in the summer months, sometimes predating monsoon season, with higher elevations receiving less snow than previously recorded. Additional focus was then turned to Annapurna I in order to analyze expedition data for the last thirty years (1989 – 2019). All 8,000-meter peaks within Nepal were studied for expedition size and experience in order to establish climbing trends that lead to "Everestification." Current trends show an increase in expedition size but a overall decrease in inexperienced climbers.

Posted on March 23, 2010 by himalman Spaniards are leading Himalaya action with a race against time up Annapurna’s slopes. Italians and Americans are getting ready for their contribution: Chris Warner and Marty Schmidt are headed to the South Side of Makalu, hoping to climb a new route to Makalu SE and then the SE Ridge to the Summit. Agostino da Polenza has collected an Italian dream-team for an expedition to the Chinese Side of GI. In other news: North Pole skiers are all beyond the crucial Devil’s Maze first degrees and Amanda Padoan kicked off the Everest season together with a number of local heroes. Edurne & Co: pedal to Annapurna (hot) metal Still within calendar winter, Spanish Al Filo de lo Imposible team led by Edurne Pasaban reached a lonely Annapurna north side BC last week, held their puja and fixed 400 m of rope to C1 all in one breath. By Saturday, also C2 was fixed with another 400 meter of line added enroute. The weather is hot, a mixed blessing for the avalanche-prone passages between C2 and C3 that the climbers hope to prepare this week. Oh Eun-Sun, closing in on BC, hopes to finale the 14×8000ers live on TV. Pustelnik, Kinga, Horia, Hamor, Bogomolov, Evgeny Vinogradskiy and Joao are prepping on Pumori. Currently, Kinga Baranowska and her “Pan-European” team are enjoying a trek through the Khumbu region, and reached Namche Bazaar a few days back.

  • Female Mountaineers.Indd
    Unit focus: Mountains Text focus: Information Text (840L) STAGE 4 Female Mountaineers Junko Tabei It took unti l 1975 for a woman to climb to the summit of Mount Everest. Junko Tabei created the Ladies Climbing Club in 1969 because many men refused to climb with her. On the way to the top of Everest, Tabei and her team narrowly avoided being buried by an avalanche. When she reached the peak, she said, “I didn’t intend to be the fi rst woman on Everest. I just simply climbed a mountain. But the environment around me changed so much, just because I was the fi rst woman.” Tabei’s climbing adventures didn’t end with Mount Everest. She went on to complete the Seven Summits challenge. This involved climbing the highest mountains on each of the seven conti nents. Lynn Hill Lynn Hill was a pioneer of free-climbing in the 1980s and 1990s. Free-climbing involves climbing extremely diffi cult rock faces without any safety ropes or harnesses. By the age of 18, Hill had already climbed the hardest route ever completed by a woman. Hill completed her most famous climb in 1993. She became the fi rst person ever (not just the fi rst woman) to complete The Nose climb. The Nose is one of the faces of El Capitan in Yosemite Park. It is sti ll considered one of the most ambiti ous climbs in the world. Her fi rst ascent took her four days to complete. She astounded everybody by returning the next year and completi ng the same climb in less than a day.

  • Dear Friends, Namaste and Warm Greetings from Nepal. As Promised
    Ang Tshering writes from Nepal July 2011 Dear Friends, Namaste and warm greetings from Nepal. As promised in my previous newsletter, in this email I am giving you some figures and statistics in an attempt to answers interesting and important questions that many Ang Tshering people have asked about mountaineering in the Himalayas. I attempt to answer questions such as how many people have climbed Mt. Everest? How many climbers were on other major peaks? Who are the record holders this spring season? Where in the world most climbers come from? What is the importance of Mountaineering to the Nepalese economy? Etc. I have collected and verified this information through 4 main sources: 1. Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation (Government of Nepal), 2. China Tibet Mountaineering Association 3. Nepal Mountaineering Association and 4. The excellent archives of Miss Elizabeth Hawley. I would also like to give my thanks to the various individuals and organisations in verifying the information: Members of Expedition Operators Association of Nepal (EOA), Expedition Leaders, managers, climbers, sirdar, Sherpas and expedition liaison officers. Using the figures and statistics obtained from them I have used my best estimates and calculations to give you the answers below. How many People have climbed Mt. Everest until today? Between 1953 and 2010, the total number of ascents was 5078 by 3167 individuals (some having summited more than once). This year’s spring total has seen 277 more ascents from Nepal of which 183 were new summiteers. Similarely, there were 131 summits from Tibet of which 86 are new summiteers and the rest were repeat summiteers.
