  • 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.

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.

  • Nepal 1990 Bill O'connor
    NepalI99() BILL O'CONNOR Most of the news from Nepal in the spring was about politics, not peaks. The growing pro-democracy movement, centred naturally on Kathmandu and Pokhara, resulted in rebellion and the spilling of a great deal of blood by the military and police that was barely reported by the British media. A few pre­ monsoon expeditions were effected, trying to get in and out of Kathmandu whilst a curfew was enforced to keep westerners off the streets. Trekking companies reported a slight drop in business as 'mail order mountaineers' fearful for their safety opted to stay away. However, by the time the post­ monsoon season ended, a fear both of flying and falling had been overcome, resulting in the busiest climbing season ever in the Nepal Himalaya. In all 78 expeditions visited the country, with a total of 553 climbers more or less active. This represents a 30% increase over the 1989 post-monsoon season. Predictably, established routes on 8000ers attracted the most attention. Most ascents were repeats ofestablished routes and have been well documented in magazines. Everest Records A somewhat dubious record was set on Everest. Between 4 and 7 October no fewer than 3I climbers reached the summit via the South Col route, with over 100 waiting in the Western Cwm! Marc Batard was the only climber in 1990 to reach the summit without supplementary oxygen; this during his failed attempt to climb both Everest and Lhotse within 24 hours. In all, eight nations reached the top, and the successful included the youngest-ever summiteer: 17-year-old French schoolboy Jean Noel Roche, accompanied by his father Bertrand and a brace of married couples - Mr and Mrs Stremfelj from Yugoslavia and American Cathrine Gibson with her Russian husband Aleksei Krasnokutsky.

  • AFRICA Kilimanjaro, Western Breach. on September 16, Harold Knutson and I Ascendedand Descended This Route Next to the Arrow Glacier
    216 THE AMERICAN ALPINE JOURNAL 1983 AFRICA Kilimanjaro, Western Breach. On September 16, Harold Knutson and I ascendedand descended this route next to the Arrow Glacier. Beginning at the rarely used 12.500-foot roadhead on the Shira Plateau (only four parties signed in at the national park gate in the previous six months), we reached the main summit of the mountain, 19,340-foot Uhuru Point, in seven hours, then re- gained the roadhead in four-and-a-half hours. Local climbers later told us that this was the first one-day round-trip up and down Kilimanjaro. A major contributing factor was our footgear. The use of new Nike trail shoes enabled us to wear the same footgear for crossing glaciers up high and for running trails down low. Also, neither of us had the slightest sign of headache or altitude sickness, which we attribute to rapid descent and minimal time up high. We left Moshe at 3500 feet one afternoon, slept at 12,500 feet. and returned to 3500 feet just 15 hours after the start of the climb. GALEN A. ROWELL Batian, Mount Kenya.

GUHA, Editor, Himavanta, India Nepal Nepalese Peak Fees. Climbers are concerned with a sizeable increase in the fees that the Nepalese government charges for permission to climb its peaks. On September 20, the Ministry of Tourism announced that fees were being raised for the start of the spring 1992 season “in consideration of environmental conser- vation.” A ministry official said that this means the government wants fewer climbers and their rubbish on Everest and the other popular 8000-meter peaks. He cited the view of Sir Edmund Hillary that Everest should be closed to all mountaineers for several years to give the mountain time to cleanse itself. The Nepalese authorities said they did not want to take such drastic action, but they would like to encourage climbers to go to peaks below 8000 meters, for which the fee increase is less extreme. He also pointed out that Nepal had devalued its currency by about 20% in July and the new rates were partly designed to make up for this. (The old rates had been fixed in Nepalese rupees.) A member of a Spanish team returning from Pumori and Lhotse observed that the new fee of $8000 for Lhotse alone is equal to half of their total budget for this autumn’s climb.

  • THE AMERICAN ALPINE JOURNAL, 1997 Rapsha-Shara Shuwa
    THE AMERICAN ALPINE JOURNAL, 1997 Rapsha-Shara Shuwa, Second Ascent. It was reported that Annelies Ascharbl and Leo Graf from an Austrian expedition summited Shara Shuwa (6236 m) on July 27 via the east face. This was the second ascent of the mountain. The third was made the next day by Gertrude Olmuller and Vera Lindenberg from the same expedition. (High Mountain Sports 174) Nun-Kurt Ma& White Needle. Cesar Femandez Perez, Alfonso Vaquero Marin and Gustav0 Vazquez Farina climbed White Needle (6500 m), situated beneath the Nun-Kun Massif, as part of a commercial expedition organized by Terres de Aventure. They summited August 11, 1995. ALFONSOVAQUEROMAR~N, Spain NEPAL Api and Nampa, New Routes, and Bobaye, First Ascent. A Slovenian team mounted an expe- dition to a remote mountain group in western Nepal during the post-monsoon season, establish- ing three new routes on still-unclimbed faces, including one virgin summit. From a Base Camp at 3650 meters, Tomaz Humar made a solo first ascent, over a day and a half, of Bobaye (6808 m) via the northwest face, topping out on November 2. He named the route of ascent Zlato srce (Golden Heart, V, up to 85’) and dedicated it to his wife, who “patiently waited for him at home,” and the line of the descent (V+, up to 90°) to the late Vanja Furlan. On the south face of Nampa (6755 m), Matic Jost and Peter Meznar climbed Jagodna polj, (Strawberry Fields, TD 85”). The most dangerous and hardest part of the route was the couloir in the lower section of the face, which they climbed at night.

  • 204 the AMERICAN ALPINE JOURNAL 1994 That I Am the Only Person Over 80 Years of Age to Reach the Lake
    204 THE AMERICAN ALPINE JOURNAL 1994 that I am the only person over 80 years of age to reach the lake. The climbers crossed to Nepal Gap Glacier, on which they placed Camps I and II at 5200 and 5800 meters on September 25 and 27. Camp III was on the ridge between Gimmigela II and Sugarloaf at 6500 meters. Camp IV was placed just below the top of Gimmigela II at 6900 meters on October 9. Japanese Hideo Koike, Masanori Sato, Taroh Tanigawa and Indian Sherpas Phurba, Chuldin and Pasang Nima reached the summit of the east peak, Gemmigela II, (7005 meters, 22,982 feet) on October 13. At five A.M. on October 18, the final assault team left Camp V on the ridge between the main and east peaks for the main peak, Gemmigela I (7350 meters, 24,144 feet). A 7:30 A.M., the climbing leader, Masanori Sato, fell 35 meters into a hidden crevasse and was instantly killed. Despite all efforts, the others could not recover the body. Out of consideration for our lost friend, the expedition was terminated. The expedition leader was Tsuguyasu Itami. Ko YOSHIDA, Japanese Alpine Club Kokthang Attempt. An Indian team led by Dilip Kolhatkar had the dubious distinction of being the first Indian expedition to run into trouble with the new Government of Sikkim rules for mountaineers. They were stopped at a local police check point and extra payment was demanded even though they had full clearance from the Government of India and the Indian Mountaineering Foundation. The authorities in Sikkim were highly uncooperative and they lost too many days there to make progress.
