Denis Urubko, intervista al grande alpinista . Rivista mensile Eiger 1962, la rievocazione Tutti i popoli del Messner Mountain Museum gennaio 2012 editoriale orizzonti e orientamenti Perchè una nuova rivista Cari Soci, cari lettori ormai addentro la seconda decade del terzo millennio, a un anno dal traguardo ideale del centocinquantenario di fondazione, ci siamo interrogati sul presente e sul futuro della montagna e su quale sia l’immagine che la nostra Associazione ne deve dare e deve dare di sé, con il senso di responsabilità nei confronti della comunità nazionale che la nostra storia, prima ancora che essere Ente di pubblica utilità, ci ha affidato. La nuova rivista, da questo numero mensile, nasce quindi con questo scopo e la sim- bologia insita nella testata Montagne360° vuole essere significativa dell’ampiezza e dell’approfondimento dell’informazione che attraverso di essa si intende dare, sugli orizzonti attuali, quindi a 360°, e sugli orientamenti e prospettive della e per la mon- tagna, in particolare per le Alpi, fulcro d’Europa, e per gli Appennini, spina dorsale d’Italia, senza tuttavia trascurare gli altri rilievi della Terra. Ma cos’è oggi la montagna, quell’entità geomorfologica che proietta luci ed ombre sulle pianure, condizionandone evoluzione e sviluppo, in quanto fornitrice di quell’elemento essenziale alla vita che è l’acqua dolce? A dircelo sono i protagonisti dell’interpretazione pubblicità della vita delle e sulle montagne, nel tempo e nello spazio. Eccoli, in ordine alfabetico: Abitanti, per i quali deve essere fonte di reddito sostenibile e comparabile, per non di- ventare quartiere dormitorio di un pendolarismo costoso e improduttivo per il territorio. KONG Antropologi, che rifiutano lo stereotipo di un paradiso perduto per sostituirvi quello di una potenziale nuova terra promessa. Artisti, per i quali la montagna, come l’altra grande entità naturale, il mare, è fonte di ispirazione e identificazione interiore. Famiglia, adulti, giovani, anziani, educatori, per i quali è ambiente di riposo, svago educativo, rigeneratore di salute e energie, fonte di stupore e riflessione. Giornalisti, per molti dei quali è sempre ed ancora assassina, come ai tempi preillumini- stici, non essendosi accorti dello ‘sdoganamento’ degli ultimi 250 anni di storia. Medici, che ne vedono l’inesauribile potenzialità di un laboratorio naturale in quota. Politici, per i quali è ancora un oggetto misterioso, serbatoio, scarso, di risorse e di voti, talvolta considerato, come l’ambiente più in generale, più un costo che un beneficio per la collettività. Religiosi, come costante elemento di riferimento simbolico e sede di divinità. Scienziati, che dall’Illuminismo ne hanno compreso l’importanza quale entità naturale da investigare e studiare nell’interesse dell’umanità. Speculatori, per i quali è una risorsa da spremere per i propri interessi, spesso contra- stanti con quelli delle popolazioni residenti. Sportivi, per i quali è il terreno di gioco, sia sopra che sotto la superficie, di cimento e diporto, per misurarsi con le forze della natura o immedesimarsi in esse. Storici che hanno ricercato e rivelato le interazioni e gli effetti della presenza umana, dalle origini ad oggi. Dodici categorie che, nel volgere di ogni anno ci accompagneranno con la loro presenza su queste pagine dando materia e contenuti a questa nuova voce del Club Alpino Italia- no, al quale si affianca www.loscarpone.cai.it con i suoi aggiornamenti settimanali, per le montagne di fuori porta, d’Italia, d’Europa e del mondo, con l’esperienza e, come si è detto, con la responsabilità dei 150 anni della nostra storia.

  • The Supreme Discipline of Mountaineering
    The Supreme Discipline of Mountaineering To what heaven would it lead me to climb a mountain that flew? Christoph Ransmayr, “The Flying Mountain” MMM Corones on Kronplatz – between the Gader Valley, Olang and the Puster Valley – is the final act in the Messner Mountain Museum project (which comprises a total of six facilities). On the edge of South Tyrol’s mountain plateau with the most spectacular views, in the unique museum architecture created by Zaha Hadid, I present the crowning of traditional mountaineering. Kronplatz offers views beyond the borders of South Tyrol to all points of the compass: from the Lienz Dolomites in the east to the Ortler in the west, from the Marmolada in the south to the Zillertal Alps in the north. The museum is a mirror of the world of my childhood - the Geislerspitzen, the central buttress of the Heiligkreuzkofel (the most difficult climb in my whole life) and the glaciated granite mountains of the Ahrn Valley. On Kronplatz I present the development of modern mountaineering and 250 years of progress with regard to the equipment. I speak of triumphs and tragedies on the world’s most famous peaks – the Matterhorn, Cerro Torre, K2 – and the depiction of our activity, however contradictory it may seem. As in my other museums, I shed light on alpinism with the help of relics, thoughts, works of art (pictures and sculptures) and by reflecting the outside mountain backcloth in the interior of MMM Corones. As the storyteller of traditional mountaineering, it is not my intention to judge or dramatise but simply to condense human experience of a world that is my world, of the 250-year-old contest between man and the mountain.

Ten years after my predecessor I will have the difficult task to replace Fabio Palma in writing the editorials of Stile Alpino. Certainly he is better skilled than me in writing and has been one of the creators of this magazine founded by the Ragni di Lecco group. Nonetheless, I will try to be up to the job helping to select the last ascents around the world and to suggest new places but always taking care to include ascents in the Alps and close to home. The objective of Stile Alpino is to improve and steadily grow in order to publish ar- ticles, that might not have been published before, on ascents in unknown or known areas.

Participants. Participants included Finance Directors, Chief Actuaries, IT Directors and Senior Risk Managers. Participating regions. A large response was received from insurers in the following countries: UK, Netherlands, Germany, Ireland, Switzerland, Morocco, Mexico, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Taiwan and Australia. Significant outcomes • As expected, IFRS 17 compliance was identified as being primarily the responsibility of the Finance department although 47% of the responses suggested that it was a joint Finance, Actuarial, IT, Risk and Underwriting responsibility. • Compliance is managed centrally by almost 70% of the participants with only 28% having autonomy to implement their own local solutions. • 9% of respondents indicated that pure IFRS 17 compliance was their primary goal whilst 36% stated it was a catalyst for a broader Finance Transformation program. • 31% of the respondents reported that their IFRS 17 implementations were underway whereas 39% were still working on the detailed design. • Confidence in achieving IFRS 17 compliance within the current time scales is high with only 9% suggesting it would not be possible. • SAS was identified as the most popular technology for CSM calculation with 17% of the respondents having selected it. • The primary area of concern relates to data with 20% identifying data integration as of greatest concern.

  • Alpiniste Denis Urubko Part À La Conquête Du K2 En Solo !
    Himalaya : l’alpiniste Denis Urubko part à la conquête du K2 en solo ! Inquiétude et consternation. L’alpiniste Denis Urubko, héros du sauvetage d’Elizabeth Revol, a quitté samedi le reste de l’expédition sans prévenir, pour une attaque imminente du sommet du K2 en solitaire. Source page facebook de l’expédition Polski-Himalaizm-Zimowy-2016-2020. Après de nombreuses dissensions au sein de l’expédition polonaise partie fin décembre dans l’Himalaya avec l’intention de réaliser la première hivernale du K2, sa pièce maîtresse, Denis Urubko, a fait faux bond à ses partenaires pour atteindre le sommet en solo. C’est par un message laconique que le chef de l’expédition, Krzysztof Wielicki, a informé de la situation : « Denis Urubko a quitté la base, sans en informer la direction de l’expédition, pour tenter d’atteindre le sommet du K2 avant la fin du mois de février. L’expédition se poursuit conformément au plan prévu prévoyant la préparation d’une attaque au début du mois de mars ». L’alpiniste a quitté le camp de base du K2 samedi, sans sa radio ni sans prévenir son équipe. Il aurait été frustré par des décisions et par le rythme du reste de l’expédition, selon certains de ses membres qui ont témoigné à l’Agence France-Presse. « Il essayait de persuader l’équipe d’attaquer le sommet en février », a affirmé un porteur à l’AFP (en anglais). « Je ne pensais pas qu’il ferait ça » Krzysztof Wielicki n’a pas caché pas sa déception : « Je connais Denis depuis de nombreuses années, nous sommes amis.

Private collection.) 21 SIMONE MORO The First Winter Ascent of Nanga Parbat The Diamir face of Nanga Parbat. Moro switched from the Messner route to the Kinshofer due to unusually risky conditions on his favoured line. (All photos courtesy of Simone Moro) t was a cold dream, one almost 30 years in the making, on an epic moun- Itain, the biggest in the world even if it isn’t the highest. In the course of those three decades I spent a whole year either under or on the slopes of Nanga Parbat before finally realising my ambition of climbing to the summit in winter, and with a unique group of people. To realise big dreams you have to accept long waits and numerous defeats; rework strategies, teams and tactics. In a nutshell, you have to be willing to be mentally very strong as well as physically. A winter expedition to an 8,000er is not the cold version of a spring or summer expedition. It’s another world, a way of doing alpinism that’s com- pletely different; one that has to be learned, understood and experienced. Cold is certainly one of the elements with which you have to cope, but there is also the constant wind, freezing and damn loud, a wind that can force 23 24 T HE A LPINE J OURN A L 2 0 1 6 T HE F IRS T W IN T ER A SCEN T O F N A N ga P A RB at 25 many technical details and protocols that must be respected when climb- ing an 8,000er in winter.

  • Les Clochers D'arpette
    31 Les Clochers d’Arpette Portrait : large épaule rocheuse, ou tout du moins rocailleuse, de 2814 m à son point culminant. On trouve plusieurs points cotés sur la carte nationale, dont certains sont plus significatifs que d’autres. Quelqu’un a fixé une grande branche à l’avant-sommet est. Nom : en référence aux nombreux gendarmes rocheux recouvrant la montagne sur le Val d’Arpette et faisant penser à des clochers. Le nom provient surtout de deux grosses tours très lisses à 2500 m environ dans le versant sud-est (celui du Val d’Arpette). Dangers : fortes pentes, chutes de pierres et rochers à « varapper » Région : VS (massif du Mont Blanc), district d’Entremont, commune d’Orsières, Combe de Barmay et Val d’Arpette Accès : Martigny Martigny-Combe Les Valettes Champex Arpette Géologie : granites du massif cristallin externe du Mont Blanc Difficulté : il existe plusieurs itinéraires possibles, partant aussi bien d’Arpette que du versant opposé, mais il s’agit à chaque fois d’itinéraires fastidieux et demandant un pied sûr. La voie la plus courte et relativement pas compliquée consiste à remonter les pentes d’éboulis du versant sud-sud-ouest et ensuite de suivre l’arête sud-ouest exposée (cotation officielle : entre F et PD). Histoire : montagne parcourue depuis longtemps, sans doute par des chasseurs. L’arête est fut ouverte officiellement par Paul Beaumont et les guides François Fournier et Joseph Fournier le 04.09.1891. Le versant nord fut descendu à ski par Cédric Arnold et Christophe Darbellay le 13.01.1993. Spécificité : montagne sauvage, bien visible de la région de Fully et de ses environs, et donc offrant un beau panorama sur le district de Martigny, entre autres… 52 32 L’Aiguille d’Orny Portrait : aiguille rocheuse de 3150 m d’altitude, dotée d’aucun symbole, mais équipée d’un relais d’escalade.

  • Nanga Parbat: First Winter Ascent Pakistan, Western Himalaya at 3.17 P.M
    AAC Publications Nanga Parbat: First Winter Ascent Pakistan, Western Himalaya At 3.17 p.m. on February 26, Simone Moro (Italy), Muhammad Ali Sadpara (Pakistan), and Alex Txikon (Spain) stepped onto the summit of Nanga Parbat (8,125m) to make the long-awaited first winter ascent. Before the 2015-’16 winter season, which in the Northern Hemisphere conventionally runs from December 21 to March 20, a total of 31 expeditions had attempted Nanga Parbat in winter. Six more teams arrived for this winter season, and two of these eventually combined forces to make the successful ascent. Although more of a reconnaissance than a serious attempt (Nanga Parbat had not been climbed at that time), the first foray onto the mountain in winter conditions occurred in 1950, when a three-man team of British mountaineers established a couple of camps on the Rakhiot Face in December. When he started to suffer frostbite in the toes, Robert Marsh descended, leaving his companions William Crace and John Thornley in a tent at about 5,500m. They were never seen again. The Poles, those doyens of Himalayan winter mountaineering, started the ball rolling again in the 1988-’89 season. This and most subsequent expeditions failed to get above 7,000m. The best effort until this year came in early February 1997, when a Polish team led by the father of high-altitude winter mountaineering, Andrzej Zawada, established four camps on the standard Kinshofer Route, from the highest of which two climbers made a push for the top. Zbigniew Trzmiel reached a point only 250m below the summit before turning around.
