    100 NEW ROUTE ON THE GRAND PILlER D'ANGLE II am. Suddenly we have a wide view of the south side of Mont Blanc-weare on the top of the frontal face of the Grand Pilier d'Angle. A light plane dives straight towards us. Photos. A sip of tea. Pitons are thrown away-for luck ... and to lighten the burden. Our crampons dig into the softened ice. Wefeel the weight of the snow balling on them. The last rocks become an island for castaways. Six hours of drift in the warmed slush. The sun dips behind Mont Blanc de Courmayeur; the snow hardens. We force the pace to the limit. Over a cornice I reach the top of the ridge. It is 9 pm. The sun is just above the horizon. A fabulous play of colours. An overpowering red in every crystal of snow. Secret dark blue valleys. Distant grey-green. I had to share this. I pull the rope violently, telling them to hurry. Sixty metres is a long way. The blazing ball is sinking. They are just in time! At 10 pm we were in the longed-for"\ allot hut. SUMMARY Mont Blanc, South-east face of Grand Pilier d'Angle by new route to the left of the Bonatti-Gobbi route 15-20 July 1969. E. Chrobak, T.

No. M40-2160 Figure 1. View from top of Sulphur Mountain. Ranges of mountains and intermontane valleys trend in a northwesterly direction. Bow River, the highways and railway line cut across the mountains 3,500 feet below and Banff nestles in the valley between Tunnel and Sulphur Mountains. The grey limestone cliffs consist of sediments deposited during the Palaeozoic, the time of ancient life. The layers of rock dip west off the peaks into the valleys. Younger rocks of the Mesozoic, the time of medieval life, underlie the valleys between the ranges. The older Palaeozoic rocks of the mountains were pushed from the west along thrust faults over the Mesozoic rocks of the valleys. The thrust faults are located approximately at the base of the grey rocks on the east face of each mountain range. The lower slopes of the mountains were smoothed by glaciers during the Ice Age but the jagged peaks projected above the ice. Numerous cirques and hanging valleys are visible from here. The following letters refer to the ages of the rock formations: C - Cambrian; O - Ordovician; D - Devonian; M - Mississippian; Me - Mesozoic. 85261-6—H CONTENTS Page The Rocks 4 The Building of the Mountains 12 Mountain Sculpture 13 Drainage Patterns 17 Glossary

  • The Coast Range of British Columbia
    1 THE ALASKAN PANHANDLE and NORTH BRITISH COLUMBIA: A CLIMBER’S GUIDE. By Earle R. Whipple and Steven C. Gruhn Even today, the Alaskan Panhandle and the Coast Range (Coastal Ranges) of British Columbia are two of the wildest and most unknown ranges in the world. It is a land of high mountains, long distances, difficult access, long fjords (inlets), big inland lakes, large glaciers and icefields, powerful rivers and deep valleys with undergrowth. When measured from north-northwest to south-southeast, British Columbia is 1600 km (1000 miles) long, up to 800 km wide in the north, but narrower in the south, and is endowed with several cordilleras, of which the Coast Range and the Canadian Rockies are the longest. Only a relatively few areas are routinely visited by mountaineers in Alaska and the northern Coast Range. There is excellent technical climbing in the Taku Group on the Mendenhall Towers. The Stikine Group has outstanding summits such as Oasis Peak, the Devil’s Thumb, Cat’s Ears Spire and the Witch’s Tits, all on excellent rock and formidable. Numbers of traverses, both for summer and winter, abound. There are many easy summits and, along the coast, easy summits rise a bit above tree line with marvellous views not only of mountains but of the channels and islands. The Groups have inlets (fjords) and channels from the ocean, and climbers often approach their favourite peaks by boat, securing their craft against the coming tides. The famous American conservationist John Muir ascended the Snow Dome (Takhinsha Group) in 1888. The border between Alaska and British Columbia is long and the formal determination of the border produced much government- sponsored exploration and climbing by the United States and Canada in the years just before and after 1900.
