Book Reviews COMPILED by GEOFFREY TEMPLEMAN
Book Reviews COMPILED BY GEOFFREY TEMPLEMAN Hermann Buhl - Climbing without Compromise Reinhold Messner and Horst Hofler Cordee, pp208, £16.99 n mountaineering there are some names which acquire mythic status. IThey have a resonance that goes far beyond mere skill or achievement. In fact it is often the reverse: the climber's exploits have an epic quality that has nothing to do with good sense, planning or rational behaviour. They tread too close to the edge. They trespass beyond the normal boundaries. They get in scrapes. They probably have flawed characters overloaded with God knows what emotional baggage. You would probably try to keep your daughter away from them. But they are heroes. Of all the heroes who influenced my generation of climbers, the most enduring must be Hermann Buhl. His book Nanga Parbat Pilgrimage must have inspired countless youthful, deluded Boy's Own dreams of battling against the odds up terrifying precipices. Like Bonatti, he always seemed to be surviving terrible bivouacs, fighting his way up water-choked chimneys, leading his companions to safety or testing his nerve on outrageous solos, overcoming the odds, defying the impossible ... But also there was a simple, unaffected joy in the mountains, a freedom of spirit, a belief, however misguided, that total commitment to climbing could provide total fulfilment. Hermann Buhl died when I was three so I never methim. My impressions were formed entirely through his book and through Kurt Diemberger's account in Summits and Secrets of Buhl's last expedition - to Broad Peak and Chogolisa, where a broken cornice ended his life. -

Rio Olympics 2 3 Affairs 54 6 Standing Tall Mr
Established in 1936 The Doon School WEEKLY Saturday, August 20| Issue No. 2441 International Crossword Regulars Cutting Edge Rio Olympics 2 3 Affairs 54 6 Standing Tall Mr. Amarnath Dar, a former master, remembers his colleague Hari Dang who recently passed away. I have just received a message from Yadu Nath Bhide and a call from Gursharan that Hari Dang, my former colleague in Doon, is no more. I had joined Doon in 1962 just when Hari was away with Guru and Suman Dube on the First Indian Everest expedition in 1962. Naturally, I had developed a great admiration for all of them. After all, how many Indians could have then claimed to have attempted Mt Everest? As I joined Doon, I had known that Holdy, Jack Gibson, John Martyn and Chuckerbutty from Doon had been mountaineers. I too dreamt of joining this illustrious group. The expedition returned with Hari missing the summit, perhaps with only 400 feet left – and with frost bitten toes. Soon, he was flown out to France for plastic surgery of his frost bitten toes. So, it was a few months more before I could meet Hari. An old Modernite and Stephanian with a degree in Chemistry, he came out to Doon to teach Geography and English. Till I got to meet him myself, I had only heard stories about him from his students and colleagues. I formed a picture of him as an adventurer, but I was a little taken aback as he was also known to be an asthmatic, yet he went climbing. He had his beliefs, sense of humour and purpose in life. -
