Index to the JOURNALS of the MOUNTAIN CLUB of SOUTH AFRICA Volumes 104 – 2017 (2001 to 2014) Index to THE JOURNALS OF THE MOUNTAIN CLUB OF SOUTH AFRICA Volumes 104 – 117 (2001 to 2014) This fourth Journal Index of The Mountain Club of South Africa is published as the Club enters the 125 th year since it was formally constituted in the Parliamentary Café on 8 October, 1891. The publication of an annual was proposed a few weeks later and in January, 1894, The Mountain Club Annual was published by the Section Cape Town. In 1931 the name changed to the Journal of the Mountain Club of South Africa. This Index is dedicated to the men and women who have over the years explored the known and the unknown; at times pushing boundaries and limits, and then recording their experiences, many of which are contained in these publications. This Index is further dedicated to the volunteer editing teams who have unstintingly given of their time over the years to ensure that this publication happened. Long may this tradition continue, and be enjoyed by many. JP - January, 2015 Index to THE JOURNALS OF THE MOUNTAIN CLUB OF SOUTH AFRICA Volumes 104 – 117 (2001 to 2014) PREFACE This fourth Journal Index of The Mountain Club of South Africa employs the methodology used for the three previous published indices: 1891–1968; 1969–1978 and 1979–2000. This fourth edition is only available in electronic format, and can be added to in future.. How to use this Index The methodology used for compiling this index follows that used for the three previous indices. Entries appear in alphabetical sequence under authors’ names as well as subject headings. Each article is indexed as a whole with added entries where necessary. Each article is entered under the most specific heading that fits the whole article e.g. an article about AFRICA FACE, Table Mt. , is entered under AFRICA FACE, Table Mt. , not under TABLE Mt. If a considerable part of an article on a region is devoted to a specific peak in that region, an additional entry is made under the name of that peak. Always look first under the name of the specific area, route, peak, etc. required. If the information required is not found in articles which deal specifically with that area, it may be found in articles listed under the wider area of which this forms part, e.g. additional information about AFRICA FACE may be contained in an article that deals with TABLE Mt. comprehensively. Always look through the “see also” references listed after the articles in case the information required may have been entered under a more specific heading. Routes on Table Mountain are entered under their individual names, e.g. AFRICA FACE, Table Mt. Routes on other peaks and mountains will be found under the name of the peak or mountain. Illustrations: Photographs that illustrate articles are not given separate entries, but are indicated in the entries for articles as photo(s.) or illus.(trs.) (illustration(s)). If a specific peak appears prominently on a photograph of a mountain range or neighbouring peak, an added entry is made under the name of that peak, e.g. if Lion’s Head appears very prominently on a photograph illustrating an article about Table Mt., the photograph is indicated as “photo.” or “illus.” in the entry for Table Mt. and an added entry is made under LION’S HEAD “Illustrations”. If a peak or mountain, which is not given an added entry, appears prominently on a photograph, this is entered under the sub-heading “Illustrations” . All photographs that do not illustrate articles are entered under the sub-heading “Illustrations”. Maps: Apart from being mentioned in the collation of articles that they illustrate, maps are also grouped under geographical area in a special list at the end of the Index. If a map of a specific mountain is sought it may be found in the general index under the name of that mountain, but see also the list of maps under the name of the province or country. Mountain Club of SA. The style of the previous indices was followed and therefore many subjects are covered in this wide category, some in subheadings under specific Sections. It is therefore advisable to consult this heading. Routine matters , such as annual reports, are indexed analytically only for references to specific subjects and persons, most frequently under Mountain Club of SA. Poems are listed under the heading “POEMS ”. Plants are entered under their botanical species’ names, with reference to common names. Changes in the names of countries, provinces, towns, institutions and in spelling. During the period covered by this Index, some name changes occurred in Southern Africa and the process continues. The new names were used for indexing even though the older articles still use the old names. The spelling of Zulu names in the KwaZulu-Natal Drakensberg is in some cases still uncertain.

The activity often occurs in protected areas where agency managers are charged with the inherently conflicting mandate of protecting the natural environment and facilitating high quality recreational experiences. Effective management of such mountaineering environs is predicated on meaningful understanding of the users’ motivations, expectations and behaviours.

  • In Memoriam 1981
    In Memoriam Introduction Geoffrey Templeman Since the last Journal was published, 9 of our members have died, the list being as follows: Donald Mill; Marjorie Garrod; Charles John Morris; Mark Pasteur; Reginald Mountain; Thomas MacKinnon; Arnold Pines; Richard Grant and Archibald Scott. It also appears that no mention was made in the Journal of the death ofour distinguished Honorary Member Henry de Segogne in 1979:-ifanyone would like to write a tribute, I will be very pleased to print it next year. My request for any further tributes for Lucien Devies last year was promptly answered and they are included here. Also included from previous years are full obituaries of Sir Percy Wyn Harris, Dr John Lewis and Nicolas Jaeger, whilst mention should also be made here of the recent death of Sir Michael Postan, a former member of the club. I would once again like to express my sincere thanks to all who have helped in producing the tributes that follow-without their help, the Journal would be the poorer. It has not been possible to obtain obituaries for one or two members and my own short notes must suffice for the following. Reginald WilIiam Mountain, who joined the club in 1941, died last year at the age of 81. His application for membership shows that he started climbing in the Alps in 1924 and completed a number of standard courses in the Bernese Oberland and Mont Blanc region, mostly with guides. ArchibaldJames Scott died in October, 1981, aged 79, having been a member of the club for 46 years.

  • L'affaire Frêney
    ERIC VOLA L’affaire Frêney A Long-overdue Acknowledgement ugust 29 1961: the ‘Last Great Problem of the Alps’, The Central APillar of Frêney, is solved by Chris Bonington, Ian Clough, Jan Djuglosz and Don Whillans. But in French eyes the honours go also to René Desmaison, Pierre Julien, Yves Pollet-Villard and Ignacio Piussi. Desmaison seemed unable to accept the facts of the respective Pillar ascents and set about denigrating the British achievement while inflating his own – a fiction in which he was supported by the all-powerful Lucien Devies, the veritable godfather of post-war French mountaineering. Only now, half a century after the landmark climb, has the record been put straight in the French mountaineering press. 176. Southern flank of Mont Blanc showing Frêney pillars (centre). (Chris Bonington Picture Library) I became aware of Desmaison’s claim to have at least shared the first ascent on reading a recent biography of him by Antoine Chandellier, a journalist on Le Dauphiné Libéré, a regional newspaper in the French Alps. Entitled La Montagne en direct – La vie de René Desmaison (Guerin 2010), the book gives René’s version of the celebrated climb. In it Chandellier refers to Chris and Don as ‘an employee of a tinned food manufacturer and a plumber and zinc worker’, implying that no integrity could be expected of 247 248 T h e A l p i n e J o u r n A l 2 0 1 2 F r ê n e y p i l l A r 249 such characters.
