  • The Big Walls, by Reinhold Messner, Translated by Audrey Salkeld
    The Big Walls, by Reinhold Messner, Translated by Audrey Salkeld. New York: Oxford University Press, 1978. 144 pages. Price $19.95. The immediate impression is good. Here is a handsome book about some of the most interesting climbs on record, and a book, moreover, by Reinhold Messner, who is arguably the most successful climber on the world stage today. We start in the Alps, make a quick swing into South America, and end up in the Himalaya, and in so doing are taken up not only the Three Big Walls of the Alps, but also the Three Big Walls of the World. When the reader gets down to the substance of the book, however, he may be in trouble. Is this a book in the great climbs format? There are photodiagrams of the climbs, with the usual dotted lines and notes on equipment and so forth. But the amount of detail is woefully inadequate, and no one would embark on any of these climbs without seeking better sources. In this an autobiographical work? There is quite a bit of personal anecdote, yet so many of Messner’s major climbs are omitted, while relatively unimportant ones are included. Further­ more, Messner has written a book on the Rupal Face of Nanga Parbat, and the treatment here is brief. What is the theme, the connecting link, between these Big Walls and the histories and personal experiences that Messner weaves into his book? Are there, in fact, Three Big Walls of the World—or is it just a handy concept around which to structure a book? Messner is a pro­ lific writer, and a good one, and in the last analysis it seems that here we have an author in search of a subject.

  • Going up a Mountain
    Going Up a Mountain Going Up a Mountain by ReadWorks Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world. It is located in the country of Nepal. It is 8,848 meters tall. This means it is just over five-and-a-half miles in height. Until 1953, nobody had successfully climbed Mount Everest, though many had tried. Mount Everest has steep slopes. Many climbers have slipped and fallen to their deaths. The mountain is very windy. Parts of it are covered with snow. Many mountaineers would get caught in snowstorms and be unable to climb. The mountain is rocky. Sometimes, during snowstorms, rocks would tumble down the slopes of the mountain. Any climbers trying to go up the mountain might be risking their lives. There is also very little oxygen atop Mount Everest. This is because the oxygen in the air reduces as we go higher. This means that it is difficult for climbers to breathe. The climbers usually take oxygen in cylinders to breathe. If they do take oxygen tanks, they have to carry extra weight on their backs. This slows them down. In 1953, a New Zealand-based climber, Edmund Hillary, and a Nepalese climber, Tenzing Norgay, climbed Mount Everest for the first time. They both took photographs on the peak. They then buried some sweets on the peak, as a gesture to celebrate their climb. But they ReadWorks.org · © 2014 ReadWorks®, Inc. All rights reserved. Going Up a Mountain could not stay for long, because it was windy and snowy. They soon came down. Later, many people asked Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay which of them had reached the peak first.

  • Trad Climbing Policy Doc. ED Uiaapositionstatement 6.09.12
    1 UIAA POLICY ON THE PRESERVATION OF NATURAL ROCK FOR ADVENTURE CLIMBING CONTENTS Executive summary 2 The reasons for this document 3 Definitions 3 The attraction of sport climbing 5 The benefits of adventure climbing 5 Co-existence and diversity 6 The way forward 7 Afterword 9 Appendix: Comments from around the world 11 2 Executive summary Despite earlier attempts by the UIAA to offer guidance on fixed equipment and the conservation of natural rock, bolts continue to be placed in areas where many climbers wish they were not. This document evaluates the history and appeal of different forms of rock climbing, and considers earlier attitudes to fixed gear. It also considers how the case for adventure climbing can be re-stated more effectively and asks for guidance from the UIAA for Federations in developing countries on how to sustain the balance between sport and adventure climbing. Finally, in the appendix, it offers the views of leading climbers and climbing thinkers on how progress can be made in reaching a more balanced approach to meeting the needs of adventure and sport climbers – and the environment. 3 The reasons for this document In May 2000 the UIAA Council approved a policy, embodied in the document ‘To bolt or not to be’, on the use of fixed equipment – notably bolts and stanchions – on mountain crags and cliffs. It set out what was assumed by Robert Renzler, then President of the Mountaineering Commission, and his team of advisors to be “an acceptable compromise” between the preservation of some rock in its natural state suitable for traditional climbing and the bolting of cliffs for sport climbing and the securing of mountain routes.

  • Alpine Club of Canada – Vancouver Island Section January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016 Financial Statements (Unaudited) Descrip
    Alpine Club of Canada – Vancouver Island Section January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016 Financial Statements (unaudited) Descriptions of Organization The Alpine Club of Canada is a registered Amateur Athletic Association and a registered Canadian charity (Registration No.: 10670 4182 RR0001). Its vision is to bring together, and give voice to, Canada’s mountaineering community. The Mission is to promote alpine experiences, knowledge and culture; responsible access; and excellence in mountain skills and leadership. The Vancouver Island Section is one of 22 local sections of the National Club. It receives some funding from the Alpine Club of Canada based on membership. The rest of the money is locally fund raised. All donations to the Vancouver Island Section are sent to us through the National Office and donors are eligible for income tax receipts. The Vancouver Island Section of the Alpine Club of Canada has two accounts at Coast Capital Savings. One is the general organizational account and the other is the Hut account, to build and maintain the new Vancouver Island ACC Hut. It also has 2 separate funds with Ogden Brown for the following purposes: Memorial Fund: for youth grants. Contributions are matched by the Vancouver Island Section. Funds are dispersed each year, depending on the interest income accrued over the previous year. Contingency Fund: for Contingencies if needed. As well, at the 2016 AGM, the membership voted to put aside $15,000 for a possible Vancouver Island Hut. Of this amount, $14,000 was put into the Contingency Fund to maximize fund income while the hut idea was further developed.
