In the pages that follow, we make special note and salute those of you whose gifts to the Annual Fund made it possible for us to offer the unique Midland experience to a strong and diverse student body. This year at Midland was one full of gratitude and celebration. As a community, we held many thanksgivings throughout the year, not just in November. We bid a fond farewell to Will and Marguerite BOARD OF TRUSTEES Graham, who retired after ten years of leading the school, and we celebrated their many contributions at events during Alumni/ae, Parents and Friends Weekend and in May at a gathering at the Wildling Lorri Hamilton Durbin ‘85 Museum in Solvang. At both events, alumni/ae and other members of the Midland community, President and Chair as well as educational leaders including Mike Mulligan, Head of School at Thacher School (who Jonathan Andrews ‘64 has known Will since college) and Mike Beck, Head of School at Dunn School, recognized Will’s Vice President transformative leadership and commitment to the Midland vision. Lise Goddard, Dean of Studies, Rob Adams ‘85 published and presented a book, “The Enduring Educational Model of Midland School” dedicated Treasurer in part to Will and Marguerite, which ably sets forth the ideals and ideas behind the distinctive Midland educational model and why it remains a relevant and authentic educational model in the Dee Hodge III ‘70 modern age. Secretary John Martin ‘66 Among the many wonderful student projects completed this year on campus, Midland’s 10th grade Alumni/ae President class installed 3-kW grid-tied solar arrays in the girls’ yard as part of the science curriculum, and William L. Graham students also added ground swales to better manage soil infiltration and groundwater recharge and Head of School to support landscaping, flood control, and the wildlife drinking water supply. We welcomed a series of impressive speakers to campus. Jane Woodward, CEO and Vice President of Energy Education Alexander (Mike) Babcock at MAP and a Consulting Professor at Stanford University, and Karl Knapp, also a Consulting Edward S. Carpenter ‘64 Professor at Stanford University, both spoke to the Midland community about the present and future of renewable energy in California, the United States, and the world. Dr. Louis Reichardt, ’60, distinguished Jim Dreyfuss ’81 neuroscientist at UCSF and renowned mountaineer attended the Senior Awards Banquet and Pam Doiron presented the Kunasz award, named in honor of his classmate Paul Kunasz ’60. Ruth Fisher Lastly, we continue to give thanks for the hard work that culminated in Midland’s first campus plan Charles ‘Kim’ Kimbell in 2013, which seeks to maintain the integrity of the campus and to ensure that the physical plant continues to serve Midland’s mission and its students.The plan, led by Ed Carpenter ’64, (visit: Cáitrín McKiernan ‘98 http://bit.do/midlandcampusplan) has been warmly supported by many members in the Midland Tom Mone ‘72 community. Midland has been fortunate to already have received significant capital gifts and pledges which will be used to support the campus plan and to secure Midland’s future, including the largest Peter Schuyler single gift in Midland’s history from former Board Chair Mason Willrich ’50, and significant leadership Cymbre Thomas ‘03 gifts from the extended Schuyler/Kellogg families and from Warner Henry ’55. We will be celebrating those commitments and sharing more news about the campus improvements those gifts will make TRUSTEES EMERITI possible in coming months. Mason Willrich ‘50 The present is bright for Midland, and the future will be as well, with your help and participation. Lucy Dobson As Midland counts its blessings, at the top of the list remains the strength and connectivity of the larger Midland community. On behalf of Midland School, we thank each of you for your support.

SOUTH AFRICA We are indebted to Michael Scott who has provided us with an Events and Trends revicw of climbing in South Africa which appears on p 227. ASIA The trend towards lightweight expeditions, exemplified by ascents such as Messner and Habeler's of Hidden Pcak and Tasker and Renshaw's of Dunagiri in 1975 has been re­ inforced this season. Some outstanding climbs have resulted-the ascent of the W face of Changabang by Peter Boardman and Joe Tasker represents one of the more spectacular of these. The previous relaxation of restrictions in the Karakoram and in Garhwal is resulting in 236 NOTES-ASIA an increased number of parties in both areas; the Japanese have been particularly active in thc former and have recorded many first ascents.

  • 1978 American K2 Expedition H. Adams Carter 52
    1978 American K2 expedition H. Adams Carter An American expedition of 12 climbers and 4 high-altitude porters, led by James Whittaker, succeeded in climbing K2 in September by a route which followed the entire length of the NE ridge, traversed across the E face below the summit pyramid and reached the Abruzzi Ridge for the final section. Three of the 4 summit climbers did not use oxygen at any point, the first time that K2 has been climbed without such aid. To avoid possible conflicts with the British K2 expedition, the Americans left very late, not arriving in Pakistan until 15 June and Base Camp (5000m) until 5 July. By this time a heavy monsoon season was being felt, even in the Karakoram. For the next 2 months, the team was plagued by a series of 4- to 7-day stor~s, which were never separated by more than 3 days of fair weather and repeatedly disrupted attempts to establish the higher camps. The lower route followed the 1976 Polish attempt and placed 5 camps at 5550m, 6160m, 6800m, 6950m and 7690m. The major technical difficulties were steep ice in the couloirs leading from the glacier to the ridge crest between Camps I and 2, and a 'Iong, steep traverse along the jagged ridge crest between Camps 3 and 4. The end of the NE ridge at 7690m was finally reached on 18 August, but storms prevented a camp from being established there until 28 August. The following afternoon, James Wickwire and Louis Reichardt found a camp-site at 7950m, from which it was hoped to complete the direct route up the NE face, on which the Poles had come so close to being successful in 1976.
