I once re-visited the Dolomites where I had climbed as a young man and thought I could remember in fair detail everywhere I had been. To my surprise I found all that remained in my mind were a few of the spect• acular peaks, and huge areas in between, I might never have seen before. I have no doubt my memory of events behaves in just the same way, and imagination tries to fill the gaps.

  • Latok I, North Ridge, Attempt Pakistan, Karakoram, Panmah Muztagh We Would Have Done It, I'm Certain, but the Weather Was Constantly Against Us
    AAC Publications Latok I, North Ridge, Attempt Pakistan, Karakoram, Panmah Muztagh We would have done it, I'm certain, but the weather was constantly against us. Our sirdar told us he couldn't remember such weather in August. It snowed for all but the first two days of our 15-day attempt on the 2,400m north ridge of Latok I (7,145m). The north ridge is complex and grueling, but the snowfall did not make it dangerous; through all the storms, avalanches passed to either side of us. Anton Kashevnik, Valery Shamalo, and I arrived at base camp on August 6. During the approach an incident occurred that would play a significant part in the outcome of the expedition. While crossing a stream, Valery slipped and fell head first into the water, eventually leading to a cough that would plague him on the climb. The rope came in handy, and Anton dragged him out a few meters downstream. Over the next few days, we tried to acclimatize on an unnamed 6,000m peak, though we were all quite well acclimatized already—Valery from Elbrus, Anton from Trango, and myself from Denali. Snowfall kept us at base camp until the 17th, when things started to improve and a forecast predicted 10 days of fine weather. We started that day up the couloir on the left side of the lower rock pillar of the north ridge, but on that day only managed 10 pitches. On the 18th we decided not to continue in the couloir but cross onto the right side of the ridge.

  • Pakistan I 199
    Climbs & Expeditions: Pakistan I 199 PAKISTAN during the winter of 2014-’15, Tomas Mackiewicz (Poland) and Elizabeth Revol (France) reported reaching 7,800m (likely the same point as the Austrians). Mackiewicz and Revol tried again in 2015-’16, making to 7,500m with Arsalan Ahmed Ansari (Pakistan) From the small col at 7,760m, it would be possible to reach the 8,126m main summit either by following the original 1953 route or by traversing to the upper Kinshofer Route. – LINDSAY GRIFFIN, FROM INFORMATION PROVIDED BY MARKUS GSCHWENDT, AUSTRIA HINDU KUSH TIRICH MIR, NORTHWEST FACE, RARE ASCENT AND MINOR VARIATION French climbers Jérôme Chazelas and Thomas Quillet reported reaching the summit of Tirich Mir (7,708m), the highest peak in the Hindu Kush, in July, via the normal route (1967 Czechoslovak Route) up the northwest face. The crux of this route is climbing a couloir above [Above] Ganalo Peak at sunset from high on the northwest face of Nanga Parbat, during a 2008 attempt on the normal site of Camp 3 (ca 6,700m). Here, rather than climb the couloir direct, the two the northwest face. Markus Gschwendt moved out left onto snow slopes and climbed more mixed ground to the ridge above. They placed a high camp above the couloir at 7,200m and then took six hours to reach the summit. HIMALAYA More significant is that Tirich Mir, accessed through Chitral and lying very close to the Afghan border, has seen very little recent activity because of the perceived heightened terrorist threat in this area. This appears to be the first time the mountain has been summited since the NANGA PARBAT, NORTHWEST FACE VIA DIAMA GLACIER, PREVIOUSLY summer of 2001.

  • Muchu Chhish, Attempts Via South Ridge of Batura VI Pakistan, Karakoram, Batura Muztagh the Batura Massif from the South
    AAC Publications Muchu Chhish, Attempts via South Ridge of Batura VI Pakistan, Karakoram, Batura Muztagh The Batura massif from the south. (G) is unclimbed Muchu Chhish (7,453 meters). See below for the complete caption. Photo by Jon Bowles Photography. Despite very few foreign expeditions reaching the Karakoram in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions, two teams headed for Muchu Chhish (7,453m), generally considered to be the second-highest unclimbed peak in the world—and the highest for which it is possible to obtain a permit. (The highest unclimbed summit is Gangkar Punsum, 7,570m, in the Bhutan Himalaya.) Muchu Chhish lies almost 2km east along the main watershed (the Batura Wall) from Batura VI, in the direction of Pasu Sar (7,478m). All attempts to climb the mountain have followed a prominent ridge that extends to the south from the Batura Wall. This was the route followed in 1983 by a Polish-German team led by Wladyslw Wisz that made the first ascents of Batura V (7,531m) and Batura VI (7,462m), the two most easterly summits of the Batura Group (not Batura IV, as reported in AAJ 1984). The objective of Muchu Chhish suitors has been to repeat the 1983 route to the top of the Batura Wall and then make the committing ridge traverse to the east, all of it above 7,200m. The first expedition in 2020 to arrive at base camp on the Muchuhar Glacier was a three-member team from the Czech Republic: Pavel Ben (a former mayor of Prague and member of the Czech parliament), Jiri Janak, and Pavel Korinek.

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.

  • A Record of the First Ascents of the Fifty Highest Mountains
    184 A Record of the First Ascents of the Fifty Highest Mountains D. F. O. Dangar In the following list references have been given to accounts - as distinct from mere mentions - of the ascents that can be found in the Alpine Joumal (first reference) and/or the HimalayanJoumal (second reference). When the list was compiled some years ago eight of the 50 highest mountains were still uncJimbed and most ofthese were at that time virtually inaccessible to vVestern mountaineers; the number of these summits still unclimbed is now reduced to six.

  • Sani Pakush Expedition 2019 Report MEF Reference
    Sani Pakush Expedition 2019 Report MEF reference: 19-28 Region: Pakistan, Batura Muztagh, Karakoram Objective: To climb a new route alpine style on Sani Pakush 6952m up the northeast spur and east ridge, making the second ascent of the mountain. Google Earth coordinates: Sani Pakush lat 36.566627 lon 75.380186 Base camp lat 36.620382 lon 75.549274 Duration: 24th July to the 19th August Expedition members: Peter Thompson, Philip De-Beger Summary In 1998 I climbed the northeast spur of Sani Pakush during during a solo attempt on Beka Brakai Chhok. At that time the 13km walk from my base camp at Lupdor to Sani Pakush was mainly easy, flat ice. However by 2019 the upper Batura Glacier had changed considerably. In 2019 we had hoped to make our base camp at China Camp close to Sani Pakush but our porters refused to go beyond Lupdor due to the difficult nature of the glacier. They told us that no one had been to China Camp for many years. By 2019 the route had also changed. There were more seracs on the route. There were also several avalanche fault lines on the route and we feared there could be more avalanches. There had been a lot of snow during the winter. We witnessed an avalanche next to the route which swept across the approach to the route. Nevertheless, we started acclimatising with several walks to 4600m above base camp. We then spent three days in the nearby Wartom Nala, sleeping at 4800m. However when we attempted to make a carry to Sani Pakush we found the glacier very difficult with no prospect of an easier way ahead.

  • SMC Zoom Lecture Tuesday 9 February 2021 Tom Livingstone - Latok 1
    SMC Zoom lecture Tuesday 9 February 2021 Tom Livingstone - Latok 1 The Club will present a talk via Zoom on Tuesday 9 February at 8.00pm by Tom Livingstone on his incredible ascent of Latok 1 (7145m) in Pakistan. In a sub-range of Pakistan’s Karakoram called Panmah Muztagh lies a cluster of mountains: Latok I (7,145m), Latok II (7,108m), Latok III (6,949m) and Latok IV (6,456m). Though Latok I was first climbed in 1979 via the East Ridge by two teams of Japanese climbers, the grand prize on that mountain, the 2,500m North Ridge had rejected some 30 teams who attempted it (40 in total if you count those that never made it past base-camp) since 1978. That was until Aleš Česen (Slovakia), Luka Stražar (Slovakia) and Tom Livingstone (UK) completed the first ascent of the north side of the mountain. Base-camp to base-camp the trio spent seven days climbing two-thirds of the ridge before cutting right and heading up the north face to reach the summit. Tom Livingstone from Llanberis works as an outdoor instructor. In 2017 he made the first winter ascent of British Columbia’s Slesse Mountain (2,400m) via the Navigator Wall (700m, 6b M7+ R) with the late Marc Andre Leclerc. He made the youngest British ascent of the Cassin Ridge (AK5) on Denali and in spring 2017 he attempted the Slovak Direct on the south face of Denali but retreated due to weather. This is definitely the way to enjoy mountaineering on a dark February night! Support on how to Join the Meeting If you are new to Zoom then this short video gives some basic details about how to join a meeting.
