  • Pakistan 1995
    LINDSAY GRIFFIN & DAVID HAMILTON Pakistan 1995 Thanks are due to Xavier Eguskitza, Tafeh Mohammad andAsem Mustafa Awan for their help in providing information. ast summer in the Karakoram was one of generally unsettled weather L conditions. Intermittent bad weather was experienced from early June and a marked deterioration occurred from mid-August. The remnants of heavy snow cover from a late spring fall hampered early expeditions, while those arriving later experienced almost continuous precipitation. In spite of these difficulties there was an unusually high success rate on both the 8000m and lesser peaks. Pakistan Government statistics show that 59 expe­ ditions from 16 countries received permits to attempt peaks above 6000m. Of the 29 expeditions to 8000m peaks 17 were successful. On the lower peaks II of the 29 expeditions succeeded. There were 14 fatalities (9 on 8000m peaks) among the 384 foreign climbers; a Pakistani cook and porter also died in separate incidents. The action of the Pakistan Government in limiting the number of per­ mits issued for each of the 8000m peaks to six per season has led to the practice of several unconnected expeditions 'sharing' a permit, an un­ fortunate development which may lead to complicated disputes with the Pakistani authorities in the future. Despite the growing commercialisation of high-altitude climbing, there were only four overtly commercial teams on the 8000m peaks (three on Broad Peak and one on Gasherbrum II). However, it is clear that many places on 'non-commercial' expeditions were filled by experienced climbers able to supply substantial funds from their own, or sponsors', resources.

  • Morire Fulminato? Figurarsi, Solo Nei Film. È Un Evento Talmente Raro Che Non Succede Mai!”
    Le schede quasi tecniche SUCCEDE Dice: “Morire fulminato? Figurarsi, solo nei film. È un evento talmente raro che non succede mai!”. Impossibile ed improbabile sono due aggettivi separati da uno iato che per quanto piccolo è fatto di vite umane spezzate. Succede. TORINO – 4/07/2009. Un gruppo di escursionisti che si trovava a Briga Alta, sulle Alpi Marittime al confine tra le provincie italiane di Cuneo e Imperia e quella francese del Roya, è stato sorpreso da un violento temporale. Uno di loro è morto, folgorato da un fulmine. Gli altri sono stati soccorsi dagli elicotteri del 118 di Torino e Cuneo. La vittima è Alessandro Cortopassi, un ingegnere di 29 anni. Era il direttore della gita. Il suo corpo è stato ricomposto al cimitero di Garessio. L'incidente si è verificato in regione Ballaur, sotto la Cima delle Saline, a una quota di circa 1700-1800 metri. Ci sono anche sette escursionisti feriti. Due sono stati portati all'ospedale di Cuneo per contusioni non gravi, altri cinque si trovano invece all'ospedale di Mondovì: hanno avvertito il fulmine e sono stati sottoposti ad alcuni accertamenti cardiologici. E' stato rintracciato uno degli escursionisti, in un primo momento dato per disperso: si era rifugiato in una baita privata per sfuggire al maltempo. GINEVRA, Svizzera -- Un volo di 100 metri dal sentiero che porta al colle del Gran San Bernardo. E' morto così un ragazzo di 25 anni, residente in provincia di Pavia. 12/08/2009. L'escursionista si era recato lunedì mattina in montagna con la fidanzata. Insieme avevano imboccato il sentiero che porta alla statua di San Bernardo.

  • The First Winter Ascent of Nanga Parbat

Private collection.) 21 SIMONE MORO The First Winter Ascent of Nanga Parbat The Diamir face of Nanga Parbat. Moro switched from the Messner route to the Kinshofer due to unusually risky conditions on his favoured line. (All photos courtesy of Simone Moro) t was a cold dream, one almost 30 years in the making, on an epic moun- Itain, the biggest in the world even if it isn’t the highest. In the course of those three decades I spent a whole year either under or on the slopes of Nanga Parbat before finally realising my ambition of climbing to the summit in winter, and with a unique group of people. To realise big dreams you have to accept long waits and numerous defeats; rework strategies, teams and tactics. In a nutshell, you have to be willing to be mentally very strong as well as physically. A winter expedition to an 8,000er is not the cold version of a spring or summer expedition. It’s another world, a way of doing alpinism that’s com- pletely different; one that has to be learned, understood and experienced. Cold is certainly one of the elements with which you have to cope, but there is also the constant wind, freezing and damn loud, a wind that can force 23 24 T HE A LPINE J OURN A L 2 0 1 6 T HE F IRS T W IN T ER A SCEN T O F N A N ga P A RB at 25 many technical details and protocols that must be respected when climb- ing an 8,000er in winter.

  • Annapurna I, East Ridge, Third Ascent. One of the Most Nota
    C LIMBS A ND E XP E DITIONS : N E PA L 375 Nepal ANNAPURNA HIMAL Annapurna I, east ridge, third ascent. One of the most nota- ble accomplishments of the season was the second two- way traverse of the east ridge of Annapurna I (8,091m). When the well-known Pol- ish climber, Piotr Pustelnik, organized his four-man team for this task, he was well aware of the difficulties they would confront on this huge ridge, which starts from Tarke Kang (a.k.a. Glacier Dome, 7,193m) in the east and runs westward over Roc Noir to the three 8,000m summits of Annapurna. However, he did not anticipate the addition of two not-so-highly skilled Tibetans on his permit and the problems one of them would present. The first ascent of the east ridge, which resulted in an elegant traverse of Annapurna, ranks with some of the most significant events in the history of Himalayan climbing. The ridge was first attempted by Germans in 1969, and again in 1981 by a Swedish team, the latter getting as far as the East Summit of Annapurna. Both approached via the West Annapurna Glacier and the east side of the col north of Fluted Peak. In September and October 1984 a six-man expedition entirely formed of Swiss guides, established four camps from the South Annapurna Glacier, climbing to the col between Fluted Peak and Tarke Kang from the more difficult but less dangerous west side, then, in common with the Germans and Swedes, up the ridge above to Tarke Kang itself.
