Insert Ofcers, Board Members, Committees ......................... 65 KA PO NE S M S O R U E N TA I N E The emblem of the Spokane Mountaineers was adopted on February 9, 1933, and is described as follows: “In the form of a circle approximately four inches in diameter, representing the woodman’s compass and symbolic of the completeness of nature, the emblem shall have an outer margin of forest green, carrying the name ‘Spokane Mountaineers’ in white block letters, thus utilizing the Association’s colors, green and white. Within the margin, a white feld shall carry in the background the outline of a mountain, in the foreground shall be a spray of kinnikinnick, with green leaves and red berries. There shall be a blazing sun above the mountain, bringing in the name ‘Spokane’ in its Indian interpretation, and symbolizing the Mountaineer’s love for the out-of-doors. To symbolize and include the year-round activities of the organization, there shall be inserted in the white border, a brown ice axe and ski pole crossed on the right, a pair of skis on the left.” 3 FROM THE PRESIDENT Submitted by Matt Jefries Greeting Spokane Mountaineers, As we begin to dust of our guidebooks and gear up for summer adventures, I want to take a moment to pause to recognize how amazing all of you are. I know of no other local community of people that is so passionate about the outdoors and whose members are so willing to teach and invest in others. Anyone who disagrees can just stop by one of the many courses held by our Backpacking, Mountain, and Rock schools, or one of the many other courses ofered. As I talk to many of you who are involved in volunteering with our programs, I am reminded of how valuable it is for us to be an intentional outdoor community— one that ofers opportunities to grow as an instructor and ultimately ofers ways to easily connect with like­minded people and go on fantastic adventures in the wild places we all work to preserve. These are the values at the very core of the organization. Toward those values of community, education, conservation, mentorship and adventure, I want everyone to have the opportunity to participate. Luckily, there are three things you can do: 1.) Don’t stop adventuring Try new things, go somewhere and do something amazing. Plan outings, climbs, hikes, paddles and put a couple trips into the Kinni. 2.) Get involved Come back and volunteer with one of the courses you have taken in the past. It’s a great way to refne your skills and meet people. You can also join one of our activity or service committees. Did you know any club member is welcome to join any of our committee meetings? 3.) Invest in someone or some group Get outside with new people. There are so many wonderful new climbers, hikers, skiers, etc. that have recently joined the club. Get to know a few of them in your sport of choice and invest in their success. Here at the Spokane Mountaineers we have an incredible community and its made of all the members who invest, educate and grow in their outdoor craft. Keep up the great work! Matt Jefries, President | Spokane Mountaineers [email protected] 4 BUSINESS UPDATES Submitted by Matt Jefries Since the current Ofcers and Board of Trustees started our terms in November, we have been hard at work to make sure the Spokane Mountaineers continue to provide an intentional outdoor community where volunteers and adventurers can grow in their skills and experience as well as have increased access to quality outdoor education. In this process, we have found there are a number of things that need to be addressed or modernized. Over the last few months, we have been working on a number of large organizational updates. The following is a brief summary of some of those works in progress: TECHNOLOGY We have heard loud and clear that the current website is a roadblock to easy participation. We’ve been working to address this through an audit of how members have been using the current website and what functions would be most useful and user friendly for members to use. Based on what we learned through the audit, we’ve been investigating options which could include either rebuilding the current website or using a diferent web platform. This summer and into fall, we will begin to test and review some solutions. ORGANIZATIONAL PROGRESS The Board of Trustees and the Ofcers have been working to identify best practices for development and governance in the non-proft sector in order to identify areas of growth for the Mountaineers. After reviewing common best practices, the Board of Trustees has moved to make changes to some of the operating procedures of the club including: Creating natural term limits for the ofcers Having a transparent process for removal of ofcers if needed Having a specifc process for consolidation of committees Incorporating indemnifcation as well addressing club liability and insurance needs The specifc language of the bylaw updates will be posted for review prior to the annual meeting in order to be ratifed during the annual membership vote. SPOKANE MOUNTAINEERS EDUCATION CENTER Another piece of feedback we’ve received from many members is a need for a dedicated central location where schools, meetings and events can be hosted. Although this is a lengthy process, we are in the initial stages of exploring if this is feasible andfguring how much fundraising may be required in order to make this a reality for the membership. SPOKANE MOUNTAINEERS FOUNDATION (SMF) You may not be aware of this, but we have a small foundation organization

  • This Is Me Waking up 1000Ft up on El Cap's North America Wall
    This is me waking up 1000ft up on El Cap's North America Wall. I am not overly psyched. Although you cannot see it in the photo, at this point I was being blasted by ice cold wind, being showered with bits of ice and I had a knee that had seized up. My psyche level was around 1 out of 10 and despite sort-of hoping that things would sort themselves out, I had pretty much already decided to bail. I really did not come here to bail but somehow the idea of going back down is, on the whole, more reasonable when you are on a route compared with when thinking about it at home. So, what was meant to be my first big-wall solo, became my first big-wall bail. ~- x -~ A week earlier I arrived in San Francisco. It was after a pretty hectic week and I was knackered, I think, due to this, somehow I managed to lose my wallet between airports. It took a while to accept this - I do not lose things. Boring story really; but I made contact with friends-of-friends, crashed at theirs and spent the next 48 hours getting cash via Western Union and finding somewhere that would rent a car using photos of a debit card and a counterpart driving licence. I arrived in a cold and rainy Yosemite Valley on the 7th of May and, with no a tent, I set to work to find a bivi with a roof. Once found, I went shopping for the gear and converted the car boot in my gear store/wardrobe.

  • Mount Hooker's North Face
    Mount Hooker’s North Face R i c h a r d K. M c C r a c k e n T h e G o l d e n Age of Mountaineering is still with us on great, impressive faces in the Wind River Range. The 1800-foot north face of Mount Hooker was one of the better-known, though not the only one of these unclimbed walls. After a week of climbing in the Cirque of the Towers region, Royal Robbins, Charlie Raymond and I made a reconnaissance of it from Base Camp at Graves Lake. The face has a prow-like bend in the middle, which appears in sharp, nearly vertical profile as you approach from the lake. A network of cracks cover it, and two long, sloping ledges high up slash across the left side. The upper one, which we dubbed Der Main Ledge, diagonals up to the summit, and the lower one, Der Minor Ledge, parallels it a few hundred feet below. Its appearance from the base discourages the climber and it is easy to see why at least two other parties surveyed the wall but did not climb it. Although the face is covered with a maze of cracks, there is no obvious line of attack. Various cracks appear climbable but many are useless because they either have inaccessible beginnings or lead nowhere. We noticed a promising series of chimneys and jam-cracks, starting 800 feet above the ground. They lay on the prow and led to Der Minor Ledge and eventually the summit.

  • 5Rig Adv.Pdf
    78 VERTICAL Ultralight and Cord Technique have a reduced safety factor when compared with traditional rigging. They therefore demand totally competent Alpine caving technique and even then extra precision. These rigging techniques are most useful for prospecting or light sporting trips when a small number of cavers will pass and wear on gear is not severe. Ultralight rigging Ultralight rigging is not so much a technique as a philosophy of reducing equipment weight, then rigging extra carefully to compensate. Rope makes up the bulk of your load so use the lightest available—8 mm, 7 mm and hopefully in the not too distant future even thinner ‘super fibre’ ropes. Deviations instead of rebelays and an absolute minimum of slack in rebelays give considerable rope savings. Thin ropes are not at all tough so use pure Alpine technique only, with NO rubbing of rope against rock. Rigging gear can also be reduced. Seven millimetre aluminium maillons on belays and mini-krabs on deviations are lighter than standard karabiners. Direct attachment bolt hangers or tying the rope into the eye of hangers (aluminium with rounded attachment hole only please) will also save weight. Leave pitons and nuts at home and use jammed knots and slings instead. The greatest risk in Ultralight Rigging is that 7 mm and 8 mm ropes cut very easily as they zip across rock edges under the weight of a falling caver. Rig ropes to avoid this by using tight backups and Y belays. This also keeps the chances of shock loading of the rope to an absolute minimum.

    This is a unique point in history. The world has changed dramatically. What started out as a warning, turned into a pandemic and transformed life as we know it. So, it’s time to train now to climb later. We play the long game and stay positive. Climbers know that the secret to solving a problem is not just about getting stronger, but also about getting smarter. Research on astronauts, explorers, mountaineers and others who have coped in extreme situations show there are many creative ways to deal with confinement and isolation in uncertain times. Climbers are part of a strong community that knows how to stick together. Maybe overcoming this pandemic will mean that we come back even stronger? There are so many examples of positive responses, resilience and solidarity. It might be tough out there at the moment, but there will be a point when we will be able to look back at these times and say that we made it through. We look forward to better times ahead. The problems, the crags, the mountains will all still be there once this is over and it’s safe to get out there. When the world opens back up, we’ll be ready.

  • David's Basics of Big Walling Evening We Will Be Doing Active Teaching
    David’s Basics of Big Walling Evening We will be doing active teaching. The idea is that by doing something, rather than just hearing me say it, you stand more chance of remembering it. Do the activities in pairs or triples – one person can read the instructions while the other one does the activity; then swap roles on the next activity. Try to tick off as many of the activities as you can before you leave, but don’t expect to do them all – you can’t learn the whole of the topic in an hour or two. If there is something you don’t understand, ask. Big wall tips. Read these AFTER you have done the activities – they will make more sense then. A copy of this document is on my website: www.multipitchclimbing.com 1. You can’t have too many lockers. Take mainly twist locks. 2. You can’t have too many snap gates. 3. Screwgates don’t stay done up. 4. The belay needs to be clean and readable for speed and safety. 5. Make the lockers you first clip into the bolts on belays large ones. This is because they are likely to end up with other lockers and bits of rope clipped or tied to them. 6. At belays make sure you have two different forms of attachment at all times – normally the rope and one daisy – attached to two different parts of the anchor. The haul bag also needs to be tied in twice. (If you drop the bag it will fall whole length of the haul line and might rip the belay from the wall.) 7.
