After a near-death mountain climbing accident, Joe Simpson's injuries were so severe he was told he'd never climb again. His recovery left him to confront the question: why, after coming so close to death, did he feel compelled to continue climbing? I spent several winters snow camping, going into California's Sierra Nevada on skis, and adored it, but I'm afraid of heights and never gave climbing the briefest consideration. The lure was impossible to grasp. Women climb a different life-and-death peek in childbirth. But I love survival stories, and this went further to explain risk-taking than anything I've encountered. Simpson's honesty about fear makes it a spellbinding spiritual epic. He attempts the same route that his The Beckoning Silence as a lad had failed to complete, and in his narration uses language with the same care as The Beckoning Silence climbing gear. I get it now. Or maybe I don't - but listening tuo a man who uses English with such power is not a The Beckoning Silence I'll soon forget. It's a love story between man and mountain, the bond forged among climbing partners, conquering fear yet knowing when to stop; the awe of death and the horror of loneliness I'm so glad he followed his The Beckoning Silence wisdom to find a route off his inner mountain into another rewarding career, He's at the top of his game - as a writer this time, expressing his experiences of loss and grief and passion for life without a drop of sentimentality. It's poetic exactness with Shakespearean depth. Improvement in the directing could will? I wasn't sure at times which team we were following a helicopter in the 's? Or I was just being a moron!

  • The Eiger Myth Compiled by Marco Bomio
    The Eiger Myth Compiled by Marco Bomio Compiled by Marco Bomio, 3818 Grindelwald 1 The Myth «If the wall can be done, then we will do it – or stay there!” This assertion by Edi Rainer and Willy Angerer proved tragically true for them both – they stayed there. The first attempt on the Eiger North Face in 1936 went down in history as the most infamous drama surrounding the North Face and those who tried to conquer it. Together with their German companions Andreas Hinterstoisser and Toni Kurz, the two Austrians perished in this wall notorious for its rockfalls and suddenly deteriorating weather. The gruesome image of Toni Kurz dangling in the rope went around the world. Two years later, Anderl Heckmair, Ludwig Vörg, Heinrich Harrer and Fritz Kasparek managed the first ascent of the 1800-metre-high face. 70 years later, local professional mountaineer Ueli Steck set a new record by climbing it in 2 hours and 47 minutes. 1.1 How the Eiger Myth was made In the public perception, its exposed north wall made the Eiger the embodiment of a perilous, difficult and unpredictable mountain. The persistence with which this image has been burnt into the collective memory is surprising yet explainable. The myth surrounding the Eiger North Face has its initial roots in the 1930s, a decade in which nine alpinists were killed in various attempts leading up to the successful first ascent in July 1938. From 1935 onwards, the climbing elite regarded the North Face as “the last problem in the Western Alps”. This fact alone drew the best climbers – mainly Germans, Austrians and Italians at the time – like a magnet to the Eiger.

The pair opted to track from west to east, ending with Piz Bernina. Until the early 1990s there was no definitive list; some opting for as low as 52 (the number of completely separate mountains), others adding more, with alpine specialist Richard Goedecke listing a staggering 150 individual tops and bumps. At the end of 1993, in an attempt to put an end to the debate, a joint UIAA and Italian Alpine Club committee came up with an ‘official’ list of 82, which they hoped would be used as the benchmark for future attempts. This list came too late for Simon Jenkins and Martin Moran, who in the same year made the first non-mechanised traverse of 74 summits from the Piz Bernina to the Barre des Ecrins.

  • North Face Genere : Drammatico Regia : Philipp Stolzl Interpreti : Benno Fürmann, Johanna Wokalek, Florian Lukas, Simon Schwarz, Georg Friedrich
    NorthFace diPhilippStolzl Titolo Originale : North Face Genere : Drammatico Regia : Philipp Stolzl Interpreti : Benno Fürmann, Johanna Wokalek, Florian Lukas, Simon Schwarz, Georg Friedrich. Durata : 126’ colore. Produzione : Austria – Germania 2008 Distribuzione : Archibald Enterprise 2010. IN COLLABORAZIONE CON CAI – SEZIONE di MERATE Luglio 1936. Due militari bavaresi in licenza, Toni Kurz e Andi Hinterstoisser, decidono di affrontare l'inviolata parete nord dell'Eiger in territorio svizzero, un'impresa considerata impossibile. L'ascensione, che ha inizio il 18 luglio, attira immediatamente le attenzioni della stampa dell'epoca e viene seguita anche dalla fidanzata di Kurz, giornalista. Il regime nazista, nella persona di Goebbels, decide di utilizzare i due come strumenti di propaganda per quanto nessuno dei due sia iscritto al partito. Le cordate però saranno due perché anche gli austriaci Edi Rainer e Willy Angerer hanno deciso di tentare l'impresa. Chi ama le montagne e le scalate non può mancare questo film spettacolare che riesce, utilizzando in parte le location reali, a portare sullo schermo con grande efficacia un evento realmente accaduto restituendoci con meticolosa precisione le stato delle cose. Perché è alta l'attenzione filologica sui mezzi utilizzati per una scalata ritenuta talmente impossibile da far comunicare alle guide dal Comitato Centrale del Club Alpino Svizzero l'avvertimento che non sarebbero state ritenute responsabili se avessero rifiutato di andare in soccorso ad eventuali scalatori che si trovassero in stato di pericolo su quella parete. È così possibile fare un confronto con le differenze abissali che sussistono tra quel non lontanissimo passato e le tecnologie attuali. Il film riesce inoltre a descrivere con efficacia la mai sopita rivalità tra tedeschi e austriaci grazie al rapporto, a tratti conflittuale, che si instaura tra gli appartenenti alle due cordate.

    Chronology of the Eiger from 1252 to 2013 Compiled by Daniel Anker and Rainer Rettner ©Daniel Anker: Eiger – die vertikale Arena. AS Verlag, Zürich 2008, 4. Auflage; Eiger-Archiv Rainer Rettner 1252 A document in Latin concerning a property sale by Ita von Wädiswyl to Interlaken Abbey refers to an area of land thus: “ad montem qui nominatur Egere”, translated as “to the mountain named Eiger”. After the Bietschhorn, the Eiger is the second summit in the Swiss Alps with a recorded name. 1850 “The northern drop of the Eiger falls in its entire expanse terribly steep to the valley, it is so to speak a single giant cliff face which one gazes at in horror and admiration. Only in places, such as Mittellegi, in the fissures of the upper summit mass and the couloirs and cavities where the smooth rock is ruptured more deeply, does the eternal snow cling.” Gottlieb Studer, a district governor by profession and a mountaineer, landscape draughtsman and Alpine writer by passion, describes the North Face of the Eiger for the first time in writing in his volume Das Panorama von Bern . 1858 11 August: Irishman and occasional climber Charles Barrington makes the first ascent of the Eiger (3970 m) over the west flank with Grindelwald mountain guides Christian Almer and Peter Bohren. 1861 27/28 July: Second ascent of the Eiger by Viennese alpinist Sigismund Porges and his local guides Christian Michel, Hans and Peter Baumann.

  • Das Rätsel Um Die Karte Von Piri Reis
    Das Rätsel um die Karte von Piri Reis Die Karte des Admiral Piri Reis wird als ein authentisches Dokument eingestuft und ist keine Fälschung. Sie wurde 1513 n.Chr. in Konstantinopel angefertigt. Sie stellt die Westküste Afrikas, die Ostküste Südamerikas und die Nordküste der Antarktis dar. Piri Reis konnte nicht durch zeitgenössische Entdecker von der Antarktis erfahren haben, weil der Kontinent erst 1818 n.Chr. gefunden wurde – also mehr als 300 Jahre nachdem die Karte gezeichnet wurde. Es ist undurchschaubar, wie die Küste des Königin Maud Landes (Teil der Antarktis) in eisfreiem Zustand dargestellt wurde. Man weiß aufgrund geologischer Untersuchungen, dass man sie nach 4000 v. Chr. nicht mehr vermessen und kartographieren konnte. Es ist nicht möglich den frühesten Zeitpunkt für eine Vermessung festzulegen. Anscheinend hat sich der Küstenstreifen jedoch 9000 Jahre lang in einem eisfreien Zustand befunden, bevor er völlig unter dem Eis verschwand. Es ist keine historische Kultur bekannt, die in der Lage gewesen wäre, oder einen Nutzen davon gehabt hätte, die antarktischen Küsten in dem fraglichen Zeitraum, das heißt zwischen 13000 v. Chr. und 4000 v. Chr., zu vermessen. Das Rätsel der Karte besteht also in erster Linie nicht darin, dass auf ihr bereits 1513 ein Kontinent zu sehen ist, der erst 1818 entdeckt wurde, sondern darin, dass auf ihr ein Küstenabschnitt dargestellt wird, in dem er sich seit 6000 Jahren nicht mehr befindet. Wie lässt sich dieses Phänomen erklären? Piri Reis, dessen eigentlicher Name Muhiddin Pirî ist, wurde zwischen 1465-1470 in Gelibolu geboren. Er kam durch seinen Onkel Kemal Reis, einen berühmten Seefahrer des Ottomanischen Reiches, in die Marine, der ihn schon 1481 mit aufs Mittelmeer mitnahm.
