Analysis of the Accident on Air Guitar
Analysis of the accident on Air Guitar The Safety Committee of the Swedish Climbing Association Draft 2004-05-30 Preface The Swedish Climbing Association (SKF) Safety Committee’s overall purpose is to reduce the number of incidents and accidents in connection to climbing and associated activities, as well as to increase and spread the knowledge of related risks. The fatal accident on the route Air Guitar involved four failed pieces of protection and two experienced climbers. Such unusual circumstances ring a warning bell, calling for an especially careful investigation. The Safety Committee asked the American Alpine Club to perform a preliminary investigation, which was financed by a company formerly owned by one of the climbers. Using the report from the preliminary investigation together with additional material, the Safety Committee has analyzed the accident. The details and results of the analysis are published in this report. There is a large amount of relevant material, and it is impossible to include all of it in this report. The Safety Committee has been forced to select what has been judged to be the most relevant material. Additionally, the remoteness of the accident site, and the difficulty of analyzing the equipment have complicated the analysis. The causes of the accident can never be “proven” with certainty. This report is not the final word on the accident, and the conclusions may need to be changed if new information appears. However, we do believe we have been able to gather sufficient evidence in order to attempt an -

Victorian Climbing Management Guidelines
Victorian Climbing Management Guidelines Compiled for the Victorian Climbing Community Revision: V04 Published: 15 Sept 2020 1 Contributing Authors: Matthew Brooks - content manager and writer Ashlee Hendy Leigh Hopkinson Kevin Lindorff Aaron Lowndes Phil Neville Matthew Tait Glenn Tempest Mike Tomkins Steven Wilson Endorsed by: Crag Stewards Victoria VICTORIAN CLIMBING MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES V04 15 SEPTEMBER 2020 2 Foreword - Consultation Process for The Victorian Climbing Management Guidelines The need for a process for the Victorian climbing community to discuss widely about best rock-climbing practices and how these can maximise safety and minimise impacts of crag environments has long been recognised. Discussions on these themes have been on-going in the local Victorian and wider Australian climbing communities for many decades. These discussions highlighted a need to broaden the ways for climbers to build collaborative relationships with Traditional Owners and land managers. Over the years, a number of endeavours to build and strengthen such relationships have been undertaken; Victorian climbers have been involved, for example, in a variety of collaborative environmental stewardship projects with Land Managers and Traditional Owners over the last two decades in particular, albeit in an ad hoc manner, as need for such projects have become apparent. The recent widespread climbing bans in the Grampians / Gariwerd have re-energised such discussions and provided a catalyst for reflection on the impacts of climbing, whether inadvertent or intentional, negative or positive. This has focussed considerations of how negative impacts on the environment or cultural heritage can be avoided or minimised and on those climbing practices that are most appropriate, respectful and environmentally sustainable. -
Fall Into Crevasse - Traveling Unroped on a Glacier Alaska, St
AAC Publications Fall Into Crevasse - Traveling Unroped on a Glacier Alaska, St. Elias Range, Middle Peak At the end of March, I (Colin Haley, 28) left for a climbing trip in Alaska’s St. Elias Range with Portlanders John Frieh and Daniel Harro. We were flown into the range by Paul Claus midday on April 1. We spent a few hours setting up our base camp and then went for a short ski up-glacier to scope our objective. About 20 minutes out of camp, I suddenly broke through a totally hidden crevasse and fell approximately 15 meters, ricocheting off the walls of the crevasse. We had left for our leisurely ski with essentially no equipment, so Daniel immediately skied back to camp to fetch a rope, crampons, ice tools, and harnesses. I was able to climb out of the crevasse with a top-rope (and even managed to rescue my skis and poles). Fortunately, I escaped any truly serious injuries. Unfortunately, however, I had a fractured cheekbone and my trip was over. We skied back to camp and the next morning I flew off the glacier, for a total of about 16 hours in the St. Elias Range. John and Daniel graciously offered to fly out and help get me home, but I was confident I’d be alright, so I told them to stay and go climbing. This accident has undoubtedly made me more wary of glacier travel, even though it’s something I’ve been doing very regularly for over 15 years. I’m sure I will continue to do some occasional solo travel on glaciers, but I absolutely view solo glacier travel much more seriously now. -

Crevasse Fall
AAC Publications Crevasse Fall – Poor Position Washington, North Cascades National Park, East McMillan Spire On July 29, my husband, Arthur Greef (52), and I (Colleen Hinton, 52) left camp at 6:30 a.m. with the goal of climbing the west ridge of East McMillan Spire (Class 3/4), followed by the southeast face of West McMillan Spire (Grade II 5.7). The weather was very warm, continuing a pattern of warmer-than- usual temperatures in the Pacific Northwest this summer. Due to heavy snowmelt, a large and unclimbable gap had formed between the top of the bergschrund and the bottom of the snow finger leading up to the notch between the two spires. After exploring alternatives, we decided to retreat and attempt another route. By this time it was about 9:30 a.m. While we were trying to locate our alternative route, we saw climbers rappelling down the south face of the east spire and onto the glacier, and we asked them whether the base of the snow finger might be accessible from their rappel route. Receiving an answer in the affirmative, we reascended the glacier and climbed to the lip of the bergschrund to look for the best route to the rock wall. As I was preparing my axe and a picket for a belay, I heard a “whumph” and instinctively grabbed the rope with my bare hands and threw myself onto the snow. I saw that the top of the bergschrund had collapsed under Arthur’s weight and he had disappeared below. Arthur estimates he hit rock within a couple of meters and then slid another eight meters on a wet, low-angled face until his backpack caught him. -

Ecology is presented as a way of thinking about and interpreting one's own environment, which can only be learned by practising, by applying these ideas to one's specific situation. Some people are 'ecologists with their heads', considering ecology to be a purely academic, scientific subject; some are 'ecologists with their hearts', being concerned about the future conditions for life on our planet Earth; others are 'ecologists with their hands', having learned some basic principles of ecology by trial and error in traditional agriculture, fisheries etcetera. Education of 'ecologists in their mind', combining the positive sides of the three approaches mentioned, can be seen as essential for the future of a country such as the Democratic Republic 'of the Sudan, with its large environmental potential for positive development, along with great risks of mis-managing the natural resources. -

If you want wool for fiber arts, or if you like spring lamb but can’t find (or afford) it in local markets, you don’t have to be convinced. But if you Shave a little extra pasture land that’s not enough for a beef cow, or if you’d rather raise and butcher several smaller meat animals than one large one, sheep certainly deserve consideration. BUYING A common way to get started with sheep is to buy grade ewes and a purebred ram. But whatever you buy, there are certain things to look for. In the ram, be especially conscious of the condition of the animal’s feet and legs. A ram without good legs and feet will not do his job. Avoid buying rams with ques- tionable semen quality.
