Your return will be different depending upon when you invested. In the following pages, I will walk you through changes to the portfolio, the top three holdings, and market musings. Before I get started with the portfolio, please allow me to digress a bit to talk about investing lessons from mountain climbing, specifically the 8,000ers. ******** We All Have Our Own Annapurna: On a hot summer day in Rockford, IL, after a grueling three-set Boys-18 tennis match that my son won, I decided to take him to the local public library to cool down before getting back on the court for his next match. Flipping through an old stack of Rockford Register Star, a local newspaper, an article celebrating a local son caught my attention. “Ed Viesturs makes history on highest peaks” (July 21, 2013). Ed is the only American to have reached the summit of all fourteen 8,000-meter (26,247 feet) peaks in the world...without the aid of supplemental oxygen. I am not sure why, but I was immediately intrigued by this man and his many accomplishments. Perhaps it is because, as Robert Pirsig says in his wonderful book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, “The allegory of a physical mountain for the spiritual one that stands between each soul and its goal is an easy and natural one to make.” While Mt.

  • Mount Everest Foundation Expedition Reports 1995 SUMMARISED by BILL RUTHVEN
    Mount Everest Foundation Expedition Reports 1995 SUMMARISED BY BILL RUTHVEN ach year, the Mount Everest Foundation supports a number of expedi­ Etions undertaking exploration in one form or another amongst the high mountains of the world. As well as 'Approval' - which in itself some­ times has the effect of opening other purses - most expeditions also receive a grant, usually ranging between £200 and £1500. Whilst this only repre­ sents a small proportion of the overall cost of an expedition, the moral support and the promise of a few hundred pounds during the preparatory stages of an expedition can sometimes make the difference between it going and not going. All that the MEF asks in return is a comprehensive report. Once received, copies are lodged with the Alpine Club Library, the Royal Geographical Society and the British Mountaineering Council where they are available for consultation by future expeditioners. The following notes are based on reports that have been received during 1995, and are divided into geogra­ phical areas.

May-June 1995 On arrival in the Mount Logan area of Canada, this team was surprised to find very little snow, but later over four metres fell in a single night. Hub-Sew (3570m) looked unsafe throughout the expedition, so attention was turned to other peaks in the vicinity. A new route was climbed on Wood Peak (4840m), which they called the Sinclair Spur in memory of Mark Sinclair who was to have been a member of the team but was killed earlier in the year.

  • After Thin Air
    After Thin Air The legacy of the 1996 Mount Everest tragedy by Michael Chessler ou already know the names of the mountain and the climbers. Climbing mania like this Yhad never happened before. It started with what was supposed to be a routine guided ascent of the highest peak trod by man. The peak had first been climbed a half century before and the public knew only the names of the first two men to climb it. It came as a surprise to the nation that climbers were risking their lives and the lives of their guides while spending great sums of money to climb this peak. And then a sensational magazine article of the ascent led to a best-selling book. Soon everyone wanted to see and hear the author in person. The lectures seemed to go on forever, the media loved it and the multitude of related books became a publisher’s dream come true. Soon everybody was talking about the famed expedition. Climbers and non-climbers alike debated the ethics and propriety of guided mountaineering. The author was thrust into a posi­ tion as the leading authority on the subject, and everyone was moved by his book and lec­ tures. He became rich from royalties, and his name will be forever associated with the peak he climbed but once. He is indelibly a part of mountaineering history and literature. Oh! Did you think I was talking about Jon Krakauer, Into Thin A ir and Mount Everest? Heavens, no! I was talking about Albert Smith, The Story of Mont Blanc, and the Mont Blanc mania of the 1850s! Mountaineering, with its media extravaganzas and celebrities, triumphs and tragedies, rule makers and rule breakers, best-selling books and wannabe rebuttals, has been around since the sport was introduced on Mont Blanc by J.

Alpina A semiannual review of mountaineering in the greater ranges Yosemite National Park On the walls. This past June, Selah Schneiter, age 10, climbed the Nose on El Capitan (3,000 ft on the 7,569-ft peak) with her father and one other climber. They ascended in five days. Selah is the youngest known climber to go up any line on the cliff. She led some of the pitches. The park’s Camp 4 launched the great Yosemite Valley golden age of climbing from the late 1950s through the early 1970s. Steve Roper described it as a pretty anarchic place in his colorful book Camp 4: Recollections of a Yosemite Rockclimber (The Mountaineers, 1994). But now times at Camp 4 are changing, and not necessarily for the better. The National Park Service issued this announcement: Late May through Early September, as part of a pilot program in 2019, campsites are available only by daily lottery, one day in advance, via recreation.gov, beginning May 22 (the first lottery is on May 21) and lasting through September 15 (last lottery is September 14).
