  • The Centenary Meet at Zermatt, Pages from a Diary

THE CENTENARY MEET AT ZERMATT, 1957 TI-IE CENTENARY MEET AT ZERMATT, 1957 Pages from a Diary BY SIR JOHN I-IUNT wo days after the Raclette party on Riffelalp, our party returned to the Betemps hut, after an exceptionally cold and windy traverse of the Lyskamm, which was, however, noteworthy I for the membership of the party itself; it included the leaders of two Swiss Everest Expeditions, Eduard Wyss-Dunant and Albert Eggler, as well as Fritz IJuchsinger, who, with Ernst Reiss, made the first ascent of Lhotse in 1956. .. Our next objective was the Brei thorn via the Klein Triftje (or Young ridge) and we were busy with preparations from the moment of our return to the hut. The composition of the party for this next expedition changed with the arrival of George Band and Chris Brasher, hot-foot from the Bregag­ lia; my wife and Wyss-Dunant dropped out, and Hobhouse, Tyson and I were joined by Eggler, Luchsinger and Fritz Gansser . August 22. We left the hut at 3 a.m. in clear starlight. Band and Brasher got away to a flying start and made a great pace across the Grenz glacier towards the foot of the buttress thrown down from the I{lein Triftj e; we could see their lantern almost half a mile ahead of us when we were barely half-way across. Misfortune struck us early, for at brief intervals both Luchsinger and I broke our crampons on the rough going; we managed to make temporary repairs, but I was short of t,;vo of the inside points, which proved awkward later on.

Four of those summits were first ascents mountaineer, Edward Whymper (1840-1911). including the Grandes One hundred and fifty years ago, in 1865, Whymper became the first person to climb the Jorasses and the Aiguille Matterhorn; a triumph that concluded an extraordinary career as the most courageous Verte, ascending just over and determined mountaineer of his generation. In fact, it has been widely suggested that 100,000 feet in the process. Whymper was a generation ahead of his peers in terms of what he accomplished in the mountains. And he had done it all by the time he was twenty-five years old. This summer the narrative landscapist, James Hart Dyke, spent his own ‘season’ in the Alps. For over two weeks in August he trekked and climbed, retracing where possible Whymper’s footsteps. Over a period of thirty-one days in June and July 1865, Whymper and his guides climbed five mountains and crossed eleven passes.

BENSON Ltd. LONDON : T. C. & E. C. JACK, 35 & 36 PATERNOSTER ROW, E.C. AND EDINBURGH PREFATORY NOTE This book of Mountaineering Ventures is written primarily not for the man of the peaks, but for the man of the level pavement. Certain technicalities and commonplaces of the sport have therefore been explained not once, but once and again as they occur in the various chapters. The intent is that any reader who may elect to cull the chapters as he lists may not find himself unpleasantly confronted with unfamiliar phraseology whereof there is no elucidation save through the exasperating medium of a glossary or a cross-reference. It must be noted that the percentage of fatal accidents recorded in the following pages far exceeds the actual average in proportion to ascents made, which indeed can only be reckoned in many places of decimals. The explanation is that this volume treats not of regular routes, tariffed and catalogued, but of Ventures—an entirely different matter. Were it within his powers, the compiler would wish ade- quately to express his thanks to the many kind friends who have assisted him with loans of books, photographs, good advice, and, more than all, by encouraging countenance. Failing this, he must resort to the miserably insufficient re- source of cataloguing their names alphabetically.

  • Antrona Ophiolite, Pennine Alps) As Inferred from Microstructural, Microchemical, and Neutron Diffraction Quantitative Texture Analysis

Marconi 66, 28844 Villadossola, Italy. *** Institut Laue-Langevin, Grenoble, France. ° CNR-IDPA, Sezione di Milano, Italy. Corresponding author: e-mail: [email protected] Keywords: Antrona ophiolite, serpentinite, mantle peridotite, neutron diffraction, Quantitative texture analysis. Pennine Alps. ABSTRACT The Antrona ophiolite is located in the Italian side of Western Central Alps. In the Alpine nappe stack, it lies at low structural levels, being sandwiched between the overlying continental Monte Rosa Nappe (upper Penninic) and the underlying Camughera-Moncucco continental Unit (middle Penninic). The ophiolite sequence includes serpentinized ultramafites, metagabbros and mafic rocks covered by calcschists. The ultramafic portion of the Antrona ophiolite consists of serpentinized peridotites, with interbedded layers of various mafic/ultramafic rocks, and underlies the mafic rocks and metasediments. In spite of the Alpine tectonic and metamorphic evolution of the Antrona ophiolite and its heavy serpentinization, the ultramafic rocks preserve relict texture and miner- alogy that allow discussing the nature of their protoliths. Olivine-clinopyroxene-spinel-bearing serpentinites still retain relict porphyroclastic texture, com- monly attributed to mantle peridotites. This inference is supported by quantitative textural analysis of Lattice Preferred Orientation by neutron diffraction, per- formed for the first time in olivine crystals of Alpine ophiolites, suggesting T conditions > 800°C for the activation of slip systems.

  • Helvetia Philatelic Society Newsletter
    UDC 656.835 (494) ISSN 0951-0001 HELVETIA PHILATELIC SOCIETY NEWSLETTER Founded in 1946 by Edward H Spiro Honorary President Tony Hoyle Honorary Secretary Peter Vonwiller 13 Pulpit Close CHESHAM Buckinghamshire HP5 2RZ Tel. +44 (0)1494 782472 Honorary Editor Peter Hobbs Six Tyning End Widcombe BA2 6AN Tel. +44 (0)1225 310971 No. 1 January 2007 On reading Fred Pickard's erudite comments in the December newsletter, answering a query concerning the 1936 Landscape issue, I was reminded of the situation regarding the 1949 issue. Printing started in May of that year, and in the case of the 20c value, printing was halted after 18,000 sheets of 50 stamps had been printed; it was decided that the appearance of the stamp was not satisfactory. A new die was prepared and printing recommenced, some 1,558,240,000 being eventually produced; the original 18,000 sheets were not destroyed however, they were issued to Post Offices along with those of the later printing (die 2). The differences between the two dies, was not discovered until late in 1951. Obviously large quantities of the Die 2 stamp were printed before the first day of issue, consequently there was plenty of scope for printing errors to have occurred. I have a block of four stamps, with a first day cancel, which shows blotches of colour, which are not uncommon in stamps with much later cancellations. Whilst looking at the first day of issue blocks, I discovered error in the 25c value; this was not due to faulty printing, but was caused by a scratch in the printing plate, which creates a straight line of colour, not unlike a tall post, rising from the road across the Melide dam, directly above the letter L in Helvetia.(see illustration) Zumstein lists this error under Z302 pfl ; I had previously seen exactly the same fault in a single stamp, unfortunately undated, and I also have a stamp with a similar fault, but in this case directly above the E in Helvetia.
