Note on the History of the Innominata Face of Mont Blanc De Courmayeur
1 34 HISTORY OF THE INNOMINATA FACE them difficult but solved the problem by the most exposed, airy and exhilarating ice-climb I ever did. I reckon sixteen essentially different ways to Mont Blanc. I wish I had done them all ! NOTE ON THE ILLUSTRATIONS FIG. 1. This was taken from the inner end of Col Eccles in 1921 during the ascent of Mont Blanc by Eccles' route. Pie Eccles is seen high on the right, and the top of the Aiguille Noite de Peteret just shows over the left flank of the Pie. FIG. 2. This was taken from the lnnominata face in 1919 during a halt at 13.30 on the crest of the branch rib. The skyline shows the Aiguille Blanche de Peteret on the extreme left (a snow cap), with Punta Gugliermina at the right end of what appears to be a level summit ridge but really descends steeply. On the right of the deep gap is the Aiguille Noire de Peteret with the middle section of the Fresney glacier below it. The snow-sprinkled rock mass in the right lower corner is Pie Eccles a bird's eye view. FIG. 3. This was taken at the same time as Fig. 2, with which it joins. Pie Eccles is again seen, in the left lower corner. To the right of it, in the middle of the view, is a n ear part of the branch rib, and above that is seen a bird's view of the Punta lnnominata with the Aiguille Joseph Croux further off to the left. -

In 1941 an outburst of Lake Palcacocha, in one of Maharaja Sayajirao University of the deadliest historical glacial lake outburst floods (GLOF) worldwide, destroyed large Baroda, India Fabio Matano, parts of the city of Huaraz, located in the lowermost part of the catchment. Since Consiglio Nazionale Delle Ricerche this outburst, glaciers, and glacial lakes in Quillcay catchment have undergone drastic (CNR), Italy changes, including a volume increase of Lake Palcacocha between around 1990 and *Correspondence: 2010 by a factor of 34. In parallel, the population of Huaraz grew exponentially to more Holger Frey [email protected] than 120,000 inhabitants nowadays, making a comprehensive assessment and mapping of GLOF hazards for the Quillcay catchment and the city of Huaraz indispensable. -
The Peuterey Ridge
THE PEUTEREY RIDGE THE PEUTEREY RIDGE BY J. NEIL MATHER CHANCE word in Chamonix, when we were both ~without regular companions, led me to join Ian McNaught-Davis in an attempt on the Peuterey Ridge. Although I had not met him previously, Mac was well known to me as a competent rock climber and a fast mover. Arrangements were quickly made and we· were soon en route for Courmayeur by motor-cycle. Some rather sudden thunderstorms delayed our arrival in Cour mayeur and caused us to wait another day before starting the climb. The classic ascent of the Peuterey Ridge attains the crest at the Breche Nord des Dames Anglaises, between the Isolee and the Aiguille Blanche, and traverses the Aiguille Blanche to reach Mont Blanc de Courmayeur via the Grand Pilier d'Angle and the upper reaches of the arete. This route was first done by Obersteiner and Schreiner on 30- 31 July, 1927. A swift party given favourable conditions can traverse Mont Blanc from the Gamba hut within the day, but most parties prefer either to spend a night at the Refuge-bivouac Craveri, a small hut which holds five people and which is situated at the Breche Nord, or to make a more hardy bivouac higher up the ridge. We left the chalets of Fresnay at 12.30 P.M. on August 4, 1952, bound for the refuge. Our way took us by the Gamba hut and proved a most pleasant walk. The hut-book there contained an entry under that day telling of the tragic deaths of John Churchill and J ocelyn Moore in the Eccles bivouac. -

The method combines observations from the French Alpine region rain gauges and precipitation estimates from weather radars with background information from short-range nu- merical weather prediction forecasts in an optimal way. The performance of this technique is evaluated using measurements of precipitation and of snow depth during two years (2012/13 and 2013/14). It is shown that the 1DVar model allows an effective assimilation of measurements of different types, including rain gauge and radar-derived precipitation. The use of radar-derived precipitation rates over mountains to force the nu- merical snowpack model Crocus significantly reduces the bias and standard deviation with respect to in- dependent snow depth observations. The improvement is particularly significant for large rainfall or snowfall events, which are decisive for avalanche hazard forecasting. The use of radar-derived precipitation rates at an hourly time step improves the time series of precipitation analyses and has a positive impact on simulated snow depths. -

Evidence of observed negative impacts on natural and human systems from anthropogenic climate change is increasing. However, human systems in particular are dynamic and influenced by multiple drivers, and hence identifying an anthropogenic climate signal is challenging. 15 Here we analyze the case of lake Palcacocha in the Andes of Peru which offers a representative model for other glacier lakes and related risks around the world because it features a dynamic evolution of flood risk driven by physical and socio-economic factors and processes. Furthermore, it is the object of a prominent climate litigation case where a local Peruvian citizen sued a large German energy producer over risk of flooding from lake Palcacocha. Adopting a conceptual model of cascading impacts and multiple drivers of risk we first study climatic and other geophysical 20 drivers of flood risk.
