  • 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.

  • SURVEY in the NANDA DEVI DISTRICT. E. E. Shipton
    SURVEY IN THE NANDA DEVI DISTRICT SURVEY IN THE NANDA DEVI DISTRICT BY E. E. SHIPTON Read before the Alpine Club, l\1arch g, 1937 OUNTAINEERS will have been interested to learn that the Survey of India is now engaged on a new !-inch map of the mountain regions of Kumaon and Garhwal. Previous surveys, as produced on the present !-inch sheets 53 N and 62 B, had been confined almost entirely to the popu­ lated and revenue-producing areas in or near to the great arterial valleys. Most of the glacier-cov~red country and the remoter valleys of these sheets are very sketchily drawn, in many places, indeed, so sketchily as to bear no resemblance whatever to the ground in question. Over much of the country, too, it has been found necessary to extend the primary triangulation. While engaged on this task in the Badrinath-Kedarnath range, Major Osmaston found that the whole trunk of the Gangotri Glacier was, in fact, several miles W. of the position allotted to it on the map. I hope that now at last we shall have a final solution to the topographical problems of this area. which have excited so much discussion as a result of the various expeditions which have recently brought back a lot of vague data about the range. The usual method employed for hill surveys in India is plane­ tabling by Indians, 'vho are each responsible for a section of the area. These men work with remarkable speed and neatness and, under the close supervision of their officers, they produce very good work.

  • 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

OFFICE IS OPEN FOR YOU BETWEEN 11.00 A.M. TO 5.30 P.M. ON WORKING DAYS . 2 Expeditions to Indian Himalaya in 2005 By HARISH KAPADIA Hon Editor, The Himalayan Journal Overall 46 Foreign and 47 Indian expeditions climbed in the Indian Himalaya during the year. This was overall, a lower figure than the normal number of expeditions during ayear. Amongst the foreign expeditions, more that half climbed the usual peaks like Kun, Kedar Dome, Nun and others. Many of the expeditions faced bad weather in mid September and some had to give up due to poor snow and ice conditions in early October. Amongst the high peaks attempted, Changabang and Kamet, now open for foreigners, and Nanda Devi East were important ascents. The leader of the Italian expedition to Nanda Devi East, Marco Dalla Longa lost his life due to high altitude oedema. The team had carried a satellite phone (supposed to be illegal!), which could have saved his life as a helicopter rescue was arranged. However, as the luck would have it, the helicopter took four days to reach due to bad weather and by that time he had lost his life. His body and the entire team were ultimately evacuated to Munsiary and then Delhi. Many expeditions complained of problems in Uttaranchal State, where the Government has imposed a stiff new climbing fee structure.
