  • In Memoriam 115
    IN MEMORIAM 115 • IN MEMORIAM CLAUDE WILSON 1860-1937 THE death of Claude Wilson within a few weeks of attaining his seventy-seventh birthday came as a terrible shock to his many friends. Few of us even knew that he was ill, but in the manner of his passing none can regret that there was no lingering illness. We can but quote his own words in Lord Conway's obituary: 'the best we can wish for those that we love is that they may be spared prolonged and hopeless ill health.' His brain remained clear up to the last twenty-four hours and he suffered no pain. The end occurred on October 31. With Claude Wilson's death an epoch of mountaineering comes to an end. He was of those who made guideless and Alpine history from Montenvers in the early 'nineties, of whom but Collie, Kesteven, Bradby, ~olly and Charles Pasteur still survive. That school, in which Mummery and Morse were perhaps the most prominent examples, was not composed of specialists. Its members had learnt their craft under the best Valais and Oberland guides; they were equally-proficient on rocks or on snow. It mattered little who was acting as leader in the ascent or last man in the descent. They were prepared to turn back if conditions or weather proved unfavourable. They took chances as all mountaineers are forced to do at times­ but no fatal accidents, no unfortunate incidents, marred that great page of Alpine history, a page not confined to Mont Blanc alone but distributed throughout the Western Alps.

  • The Permian Formation in the Alps of Piémont, Dauphiné, and Savoy
    Dr. Du Biche Preller—Permian in the Alps. 7 as at Bourg d'Oisans, has been noted by other writers. Here, too, the mineral so abundant in the green veins of Penmaenmawr, which Schaub has determined as prehnite,1 is at times seen to be intimately associated with the axinite. It has a lower refractive index and higher birefringence than the latter, and where cleavage-traces are developed it extinguishes parallel thereto (001). A genetic relation- ship between the two minerals appears to be indicated. In all the cases which I have seen recorded hitherto the gaseous boron-bearing emanations leading to the production of axinite have followed the intrusion of a granite magma. At Penmaenmawr the magma was of intermediate calc-alkalic character. It is assumed that here, too, the hot gases charged with boron-compounds reacted on the original lime-bearing minerals of the veins, releasing the silica and forming new combinations with the lime and other constituents, and that thus the secondary mineralization of the axinite veins was essentially effected. In the Cornish greenstones the production of axinite is usually accompanied by " one or more of the following minerals, pyroxene, epidote, hornblende, garnet, quartz, and felspar, while zoisite, zincblende, sphene, and fluor-spar are sometimes present ".J With the exception of quartz, a soda-lime felspar, and a little epidote, none of these minerals has been observed in the axinite veins of Penmaenmawr. The green and other veins, which are so abundant at Penmaenmawr and have been previously described, as mentioned above, consist predominantly of micropegmatite and orthoclase, with, subordinate plagioclase, augite, ilmenite, biotite, and apatite.

LONDON JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE STREET 1880 All rights are reserved [v] PREFACE. In the year 1860, shortly before leaving England for a long continental tour, the late Mr. William Longman requested me to make for him some sketches of the great Alpine peaks. At this time I had only a literary acquaintance with mountaineering, and had even not seen—much less set foot upon—a mountain. Amongst the peaks which were upon my list was Mont Pelvoux, in Dauphiné. The sketches that were required of it were to celebrate the triumph of some Englishmen who intended to make its ascent. They came—they saw—but they did not conquer. By a mere chance I fell in with a very agreeable Frenchman who accompanied this party, and was pressed by him to return to the assault.

Nel caso di di Pier Giorgio una nuova disgrazia, ma i morti devono essere almeno 4, se non proprio tutti Baldracco assieme almeno tutti nello stesso giorno e pazienza se a centinaia di chilometri di distanza, ci penserà un lancio di agenzia a mettere in fibrillazione i media.

E allora i telefoni, meglio se satellitari, squilleranno in continuazione: richiesta di pareri, di opinioni, meglio se con venatura polemica, che non guasta mai, ricerca dei media e colpevoli, ricerca della responsabilità e via dicendo.

  • Die Gipfelflur Der Alpen
    Die Gipielflur er 2' Von ALBERT HEIM. Mit 11 Figuren. Neujahrsblatt der Naturforschenden Gesellschaft in Zürich auf das Jahr 1927. 129. Stück. 0- - Druck von Gebr. Fretz A. G. in Zürich. In Kommission bei Beer Gipfelflurürich. Die Gipfelflur der Alpen. 1. Die äusserliche Erscheinung der Gipfelflur. Wohl alle meine Leser haben schon oftmals den Anblick der Alpen von beherrschenden Aus- sichtspunkten aus genossen und das herrliche Bild hat sich tief in ihr Gedächtnis eingeprägt, Sie erzählten von dem „Meer von Berggipfeln", das vor ihnen lag. Der Vergleich war ihnen deshalb nahe, weit auch die Gipfelhöhen des Gebirges, wenigstens regionenweise, eine auffallende Ausge- glichenheit ihrer Höhe ähnlich den Wellen des Meeres zeigen, und weil die Ausdehnung des ganzen Gebirges im Vergleich zum einzelnen Berge fast so gross schien wie das Meer im Verhältnis zu seinen Wellen. In keiner Gebirgsregion gibt es einen Gipfel, der alle Umgebenden sehr wesentlich überragen würde. Die Ausnahmen von dieser Gebundenheit der Gipfel an eine ausgeglichene Höhe sind fast immer ganz bescheidener Art. Sie können in den Alpen auf einige hundert Meter steigen (Säntis und Glärnisch sind ca. 300 in, Tödi etwa 400 m zu hoch), aber sie gehen (mit Ausnahme des Monte Viso in den Westalpen) niemals gegen 1000 in. Übersehen wir die Alpen von einem etwas herausgehobenen oder ganz ausserhalb liegenden Stand- punkt, wie z. B. Weissenstein, Hohentwiel, Säntis, Mythen, Monte Generoso etc., so sehen wir beim Blick gegen Osten oder gegen Westen; wie das Gebirge vorn Aussenrand gegen die Zentralzone hin in stetig und ziemlich gleichmässig zunehmenden Gipfelhöhen ansteigt. Diese Erscheinung liegt uns im Bewusstsein.

  • In Memoriam 1 49
    IN MEMORIAM 1 49 IN MEMORIAM GUIDO REY 1861- 1935 Translated 1 GuiDO REY was born in Turin on October 20, 1861. He was the nephew of Quintina Sella, the scientist and minister of the new Kingdom of Italy, who in 1863, returning from an ascent of Monte Viso, and inciting the youth of Italy to climb mountains in search of 'strength, beauty and virtue,' founded the Italian Alpine Club. Young Rey was one of the many descendants and relations of his illustrious uncle who followed in the latter's footsteps, and among whom figured the conquerors of the Aiguille du Geant, the pioneers of the first winter crossings of Mont Blanc, Monte Rosa and the Matterhorn and the still hale and hearty Vittorio Sella, to whose credit stand those marvellous, and as yet unsurpassed, series of mountain views of the Alps, the Caucasus, the Karakoram, Alaska and Ruwenzori. Rey came of a wealthy industrial family and during his whole life, his calling as a mountaineer was constantly clashing with his business duties. The fortunate position of Turin and the energy of his younger years enabled him to devote to the mountains every free day and every brief vacation. The Cottian, Graian, Pennine Alps and Dauphine were the scene of his chief early activities. Those were the days when the search for new routes and difficulties, for difficulties' sake, was not quite so breathless as in after years. Mountains were still climbed by the main routes, which, however well known, have never lost their majestic beauty. In the company of Cesare Fiorio and Carlo Ratti who, in Italy, represented the early champions of mountaineering without guides, Rey accomplished many important ascents, culmina­ ting in the Aiguilles d' Arves.

  • Some Alpine Recollections
    - 132 SOME ALPINE RECOLLECTIONS been reviewing an American book on ski touring and mountaineering which gives in precise detail the technique of self-contained camping, each member of a party being surprisingly lightly laden and yet supplied with a good many comforts. · I recommend this thought to young ski-tourers and even to others travelling in the Highlands and I hope to take active steps after the war to bring the technique of camping anew to the notice of climbers in the Alp&. For many of us now have a horror of the overcrowded Alpine huts and refuges. I ·wish to thank Mr. MacRobert for his charming talk and for the fascinating views of the Scottish hills which he has shown us. Many, indeed most of us, have done our mountaineering in foreign lands, and I always think there is an added thrill in crossing the Highlands the knowledge that we are on British soil. That is an additional reason why I have spent a very happy hour; and I have been thinking what a power of good a little ski-ing or climbing in • Scotland would qo many of us now. And, if I may be pennitted one. final remark, Mr. President I never thought I should live to see the day "\vhen photographs and films of slaloms and ski races would be shown to an appreciative audience co~sisting of members of the Alpine Club. SOME ALPINE RECOLLECTIONS • BY R. J. G. M{\YOR. Read before the Alpine Club, May 4, 1943 • HEN I received an invitation to read a paper to this Club, the first thought tP,at came to mind was to wonder whether I • could find anything to say that would deserve.

These figures speak well for the patriotism and the good sense of our Fellows. I mention patriotism, for economy is in the air; it is preaehed every- where and practised in most places?except, perhaps, some Government departments. But it is a false economy that would try to dispense with necessaries, and our Society at the present moment is in more ways than one a necessary for the nation. To have at hand, collected and collated, and ready for use, a store of geographical facts as to any possible seat of war; to cultivate the habit of mind?the sense of country, the geographical attitude?that can reason and act promptly on such facts, are obvious conditions of military and naval success.
