Get this: In the middle of sun-drenched Orlando, Fla. the Walt Disney Co. is erecting a 60-meter-high replica of snow-covered Mount Everest. It's a showcase attraction scheduled to open in 2006 at Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park. The premise: Visitors board an old mountain railway headed to the foot of Mount Everest. As the train climbs higher into "the Himalayas," it passes thick bamboo forests, thundering waterfalls and shimmering glacier fields. But the track ends unexpectedly in a gnarled mass of twisted metal. Suddenly the train begins racing forward and backward through caverns and icy canyons until riders come face to face with a giant hairy creature--the mythical yeti. It's enough to scare the wits out of Don W. Goodman, who has the job of ensuring that the $100 million roller coaster is finished on time--and on budget. It is a logistical nightmare: Hundreds of workers from independent contractors must simultaneously build the roller coaster and the mountain that contains it. They will erect 1,200 tons of steel and install one and a half hectares of rockwork. Goodman, president of Disney's Imagineering research lab, compares it to assembling a 3-D puzzle. It is difficult to anticipate the conflicts that will arise, say, between workers installing faux rock formations and crane operators erecting steel tracks.

He stepped onto the roof of the world with Nazir Sabir, a climber from Pakistan, and stared at the land far below. The date was May 17, 2000. Somewhere beneath him, in a camp he could not see, were the other members of the Canadian Everest Expedition, three climbers from Quebec who would not reach the summit of the world's tallest mountain. As Webster stood briefly on the peak -- for no one stays long on that icy pinnacle -- stories were already circulating he had left the other climbers behind, so driven was he to become the first Canadian of the new millennium to reach the top of Everest. He would learn of the stories later, and they would sting. Accusation followed nasty accusation, the worst perhaps being that the other climbers had quit on him, so totalitarian had they found his leadership. When Webster descended from the mountain, he walked into a firestorm of negative publicity that bothers him to this day. At times in the ensuing four Julie Oliver, The Citizen's Weekly Shaunna Burke, a U of O doctoral student, Andrew Lock, an Australian, years he would shrug, and say simply he was the and Hector Ponce de Leon, of Mexico, will attempt a team assault on strongest of the four climbers, the only one able to Everest in May, led by Ottawa climber Ben Webster.

  • Soviet Mountaineers and Mount Everest, 1953–1960 Eva Maurer
    This is an electronic version of an article published in the International Journal of the History of Sport, 26:4 (2009), 484-500 – DOI: 10.1080/09523360802658093 (publisher’s version) The International Journal of the History of Sport is available online at: http://www.informaworld.com/openurl?genre=article&issn=0952-3367&volume=29&is sue=4&spage=484 Cold War, ‘Thaw’ and ‘Everlasting Friendship’: Soviet Mountaineers and Mount Everest, 1953–1960 Eva Maurer In 1953, two events affected the community of Soviet mountaineers each in their own way. Stalin died and the world’s highest summit, Mount Everest, was climbed for the first time. This article traces how the story of Everest’s conquest was transmitted to the Soviet public: a slow process reflecting the transition from Stalinist isolation to Khrushchev’s ‘Thaw’. Between 1954 and 1960, the first personal contacts with Everest expedition leader John Hunt then opened up a window to the world (not only) for Soviet mountaineers, while at the same time the blossoming Sino-Soviet friendship of the mid1950s enabled Soviet mountaineers to prepare for their own, however unsuccessful, Sino-Soviet Everest Expedition. Everest acted as a catalyst for increasing contacts between East and West, capitalist and communist climbers, which provided new chances for comparison and self-reflection and thus contributed to the emergence of new discourses of identity and community within Soviet mountaineering. On 5 March 1953, Stalin died. Not even two months later, on 29 May, Mount Everest was climbed for the first time. While those events were unrelated and obviously of a very different nature, they both had a strong effect on one small group of Soviet citizens: the Soviet mountaineers or al’pinisty as they were referred to in Russian.

    46TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE AUSTRIAN ASSOCIATION FOR AMERICAN STUDIES MEDIATING MOUNTAINS the plight of inconsequence #10, 2014 © Richard T. Walker Abstracts and Speaker Biographies Department of American Studies, University of Innsbruck NOVEMBER 22-24, 2019 KEYNOTE LECTURES Keynote Lecture I, Friday, November 22, 15:00-16:30 (Aula, Main Building) “Highroads and Skyroads: Cinematic Mountains and the U.S. National Park Service” Jennifer Peterson (Woodbury University) What does the historical nature film have to tell us that might be useful today, as public awareness grows about current and accelerating forms of ecological catastrophe? In order to understand where we might be going in our relationship to the planet, it has become imperative to think about what led us to this pass in the first place. Based on archival research in U.S. government archives (NARA in College Park, Maryland and the Yosemite Archive in California), this talk brings together methodologies from film history and the environmental humanities to examine the filmmaking practices of the National Park Service (NPS) in the 1920s and 30s. As produced by the federal government, these educational films consolidate a specific concept of the national park as a “nature space” in which the so-called wilderness is evacuated of indigenous presence and repopulated with modern tourists. Through this process, natural landscapes – and specifically, mountain landscapes – were converted into commodities of scenic wonders. Produced in the interwar years before the popular concept of nature shifted into an environmentalist rhetoric of endangerment, the earliest federally-produced national park films celebrated the role of the state in taming the wilderness.

  • EVEREST – Südanstieg Von Nepal Der Höchste Berg Der Welt, Normalweg (Jährlich 6
    EVEREST – Südanstieg von Nepal Der Höchste Berg der Welt, Normalweg (jährlich 6. April - 6. Juni) I. Einleitung: Mit 8850m ist der Everest knapp 250m höher als jeder andere Berg auf der Welt. Der Anstieg von Nepal folgt der Route der Erstbegehung im Jahr 1953. Wir folgen den klassischem Weg durch den Khumbu Eisbruch, über die Lhotse Flanke zum Südsattel und von dort über den Südostgrat zum Gipfel. Es ist der Anstieg mit den geringsten technischen Schwierigkeiten zum Gipfel und hat sich auch deshalb heute als einer der zwei Normalwege etabliert. Dennoch bleibt die Besteigung ein sehr ernstes Unternehmen. Klettertechnisch ist der Süd-Anstieg von Nepal weniger anspruchsvoll als der Anstieg von Tibet/China, jedoch sind die objektiven Gefahren durch Eis-Schlag und Lawinen größer und die Wegstrecke ist weiter. Die Südseite ist wärmer und der Sherpa-Support stärker ausgeprägt. SummitClimb: Everest - Nepal Unsere Erfahrung geht zurück bis 1991 als Daniel Mazur von SummitClimb sein erstes Mal den Mount Everest bestieg. Seit 2004 führen wir jedes Jahr eine Tibet Everest Expedition durch, mit Ausnahme von 2008. Seit 2005 organisieren wir jedes Jahr eine Expedition von Nepal über den hier vorgestellten Südanstieg. Wir haben eine Reihe von Expeditionsleitern mit Gipfelerfahrung am Everest und eine sehr erfahrene Begleitmannschaft von Sherpas, Köchen und Trägern. Unsere Top-Sherpas suchen im Raum der Deutschsprachigen Anbieter ihres Gleichen. Seit Jahren erleben wir eine loyale und ehrliche Zusammenarbeit. So war Jangbu Sherpa aus Patale nun schon 17-mal mit SummitClimb-Gästen, auf dem Everest. Wir kennen unsere Sherpas persönliche, ihre Familien und ihre Kinder.

  • The Economics of Innovation: Mountaineering and the American Space Program
    The Economics of Innovation: Mountaineering and the American Space Program Howard E. McCurdy May, 2013 1 “The Economics of Innovation: Mountaineering and the American Space Program,” a research report submitted by Howard E. McCurdy, Ph.D., School of Public Affairs, American University, 4400 Massachusetts Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C., 20016, in fulfillment of NASA contract NNX12AQ63G, 11 March 2013; revised and resubmitted, 18 May 2013. Following page: An expedition 8 crewmember on the International Space Station took this photograph of Mt. Everest in 2004. Mt. Everest is 29,035 feet high. Passengers in a commercial jetliner flying over Everest at an altitude of 35,000 feet would be too close to the mountain to experience this view. The photograph is taken from the north. In the foreground appears the Tibetan plateau. To the south, clouds cover much of Nepal. Everest is the darker mountain peak to center right with the perennial cloud plume. The first expeditions attempting to climb the mountain approached from Tibet, traveling up the Rongbuk glacier, turning east, then moving back toward the V­shaped spot below and to the left of the summit. That is the North Col, a low point between Everest and Changtse. From the North Col, climbers proceed up the north ridge to its junction with the wind­swept northeast ridge and from there toward the summit. Most commercial outfitters approach the Everest from Nepal on the mountain’s southern side. This route follows the Western Cwm, visible as the deep cut stretching out to the right of the mountain. Upon reaching the South Col (behind Everest in this photograph), climbers turn north and head directly toward the space station.
