  • Artur Hajzer, 1962–2013
    AAC Publications Artur Hajzer, 1962–2013 Artur Hajzer, one of Poland’s best high-altitude climbers from the “golden age,” was killed while retreating from Gasherbrum I on July 7, 2013. He was 51. Born on June 28, 1962, in the Silesia region of Poland, Artur graduated from the University of Katowice with a degree in cultural studies. His interests in music, history, and art remained important throughout his life. He started climbing as a boy and soon progressed to increasingly difficult routes in the Tatras and the Alps, in both summer and winter, in preparation for his real calling: Himalayan climbing. He joined the Katowice Mountain Club, along with the likes of Jerzy Kukuczka, Krzysztof Wielicki, Ryszard Pawlowski, and Janusz Majer. His Himalayan adventures began at the age of 20, with expeditions to the Rolwaling Himal, to the Hindu Kush, and to the south face of Lhotse. Although the Lhotse expedition was unsuccessful, it was the beginning of his climbing partnership with Jerzy Kukuczka. Together they did the first winter ascent of Annapurna in 1987, a new route up the northeast face of Manaslu, and a new route on the east ridge of Shishapangma. Artur climbed seven 8,000-meter peaks and attempted the south face of Lhotse three times, reaching 8,300 meters on the formidable face. He even concocted a plan to climb all 14 8,000-meter peaks in one year, a scheme that was foiled by Pakistani officials when they refused him the required permits. Artur proved he was more than a climber when he organized the massively complicated “thunderbolt” rescue operation on Everest’s West Ridge, a disaster in which five members of a 10-member Polish team were killed.

  • 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.

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.

  • Annapurna I, East Ridge, Third Ascent. One of the Most Nota
    C LIMBS A ND E XP E DITIONS : N E PA L 375 Nepal ANNAPURNA HIMAL Annapurna I, east ridge, third ascent. One of the most nota- ble accomplishments of the season was the second two- way traverse of the east ridge of Annapurna I (8,091m). When the well-known Pol- ish climber, Piotr Pustelnik, organized his four-man team for this task, he was well aware of the difficulties they would confront on this huge ridge, which starts from Tarke Kang (a.k.a. Glacier Dome, 7,193m) in the east and runs westward over Roc Noir to the three 8,000m summits of Annapurna. However, he did not anticipate the addition of two not-so-highly skilled Tibetans on his permit and the problems one of them would present. The first ascent of the east ridge, which resulted in an elegant traverse of Annapurna, ranks with some of the most significant events in the history of Himalayan climbing. The ridge was first attempted by Germans in 1969, and again in 1981 by a Swedish team, the latter getting as far as the East Summit of Annapurna. Both approached via the West Annapurna Glacier and the east side of the col north of Fluted Peak. In September and October 1984 a six-man expedition entirely formed of Swiss guides, established four camps from the South Annapurna Glacier, climbing to the col between Fluted Peak and Tarke Kang from the more difficult but less dangerous west side, then, in common with the Germans and Swedes, up the ridge above to Tarke Kang itself.

  • Winter 8000: Climbing the World's Highest Mountains
    AAC Publications WINTER 8000: CLIMBING THE WORLD’S HIGHEST MOUNTAINS IN THE COLDEST SEASON By Bernadette McDonald WINTER 8000: CLIMBING THE WORLD’S HIGHEST MOUNTAINS IN THE COLDEST SEASON. Bernadette McDonald. Mountaineers Books, 2020. Paperback, 272 pages, $21.95. When a team of 10 Nepalese mountaineers reached the summit of K2 in the waning hours of January 16, 2021, the achievement marked not only a singular feat of endurance and teamwork, but also the closing of a frontier: All the world’s principle peaks above 8,000 meters have now been climbed in winter. While it took only 14 years, from 1950 to 1964, for all the 8,000-meter monsters to be climbed for the first time, their winter conquest required 41 more years. In her latest book, Canadian author Bernadette McDonald delivers a succinct and timely history of this period. Succinct because the author made the deft choice to structure her story with each chapter focusing on a different mountain. Checking in at tidy 272 pages, her narrative drops the reader directly into the fray on the flanks of each peak, delivering 14 epic climbs for the price of one. And timely because the book was released in 2020, some months before the K2 ascent made headlines around the world. At the heart of the story are the Ice Warriors, a legendary band of Polish mountaineers who embraced “the art of suffering” and successfully summited seven of the 8,000ers, including Everest, in a span of only eight years during the 1980s. Having written extensively about the rich Polish mountaineering tradition (McDonald’s Freedom Climbers: The Golden Age of Polish Climbing was published in 2011), she is clearly on comfortable terrain, introducing the reader to the key players with ease and adroitly explaining nuances between different cliques that came together behind the Iron Curtain in cities like Zakopane and Katowice.

  • 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.

    62 Years The last time Ken Brower traveled down the Yampa River in Northwest Colorado was with his father, David Brower, in 1952. This was the year his father became the first executive director of the Sierra Club and joined the fight against a pair of proposed dams on the Green River in Northwest Colorado. The dams would have flooded the canyons of the Green and its tributary, Yampa, inundating the heart of Dinosaur National Monument. With a conservation campaign that included a book, magazine articles, a film, a traveling slideshow, grassroots organizing, river trips and lobbying, David Brower and the Sierra Club ultimately won the fight ushering in a period many consider the dawn of modern environmentalism. 62 years later, Ken revisited the Yampa & Green Rivers to reflect on his father's work, their 1952 river trip, and how we will confront the looming water crisis in the American West. 9 Minutes.
