Thanks are also due to Margaret of the Alpine Club library for assistance in looking up old journals. In late 1996 Ben Linton, Ed Lynch-Bell and Ian Brodrick undertook the mammoth scanning and OCR exercise needed to transfer the paper text back into computer form after the original electronic version was lost in a disk crash. This was done in order to create a world-wide web version of the guide. Mike Caine of the Manx Fell and Rock Club then helped with route information from his Manx climbing web site.

  • “K2 IL NODO INFINITO” Di Kurt Diemberger
    “K2 IL NODO INFINITO” di Kurt Diemberger K2. La vicenda, il vissuto di questo libro si impernia sulla meravigliosa e terribile montagna, la montagna-sogno, la montagna sopra la montagna, simile ad un immenso cristallo di cui evoca la sfolgorante e misteriosa regolarità. Nelle facce di questo cristallo si riflettono gli eventi nelle loro infinite angolazioni:il K2 degli esordi; i pensieri e i progetti di Hermann Buhl che al suo cospetto, poco prima di salire il Broad Peak e di morire sul Chogolisa, nel 1957, discusse con l'allora venticinquenne Kurt Diemberger il famoso stile "Alpi occidentali". L'immenso spigolo nord che sale verso il cielo come una linea infinita; le parole di Shipton, uno dei primi esploratori occidentali giunto al suo cospetto, che incantarono Diemberger e lo avvolsero in una invincibile magia; il tentativo lungo questo spigolo, la vita ai suoi piedi in uno dei più remoti angoli del Sinkiang - dove egli ritorna, carico di esperienza e di dolore, ma anche di amore, nelle ultime pagine del libro. Parallelamente si delinea il rapporto umano con gli amici, con Julie Tullis; la compagna con cui, da qualche anno, ha fondato "the highest filmteam of the world" ed il suo rapporto di solidarietà con lei. Infine la tragica estate del 1986. Kurt e Julie trovano alla base della montagna un vero "villaggio", dove si incontrano le più svariate personalità dell' alpinismo, Maurice e Liliane Barrard, Benoit Chamoux, Michel Parmentier, Renato Casarotto, Agostino da Polenza, Gianni Calcagno, Jerzy Kukuczka, Wanda Rutkiewicz e tanti altri, come se si fossero dati un appuntamento importante.

FREE TO ALL BMC MEMBERS £2.00 21821_Summit_15_Cover.p65 1 9/13/99, 9:40 AM FOREWORD.. SUMMITS OF DIVERSITY ust over six years ago the BMC’s Mountaineering Festival at the Buxton Opera House had the theme Jof Freedom. There was a strong line up of high- profile speakers, an exhibition, and an indoor bouldering league team challenge. Although not a sell-out, Buxton ‘93 was an enjoyable and memorable event. The event programme cover was a cartoon based on Delacroix’s famous painting of ‘Liberty guiding the people’ – only the BMC version had mountaineering luminaries at the barri- cade defending freedom of access. The Festival pro- gramme introduction talked about “the freedom to enjoy our cliffs and mountain environment” which it said “seem(ed) to be increasingly under threat”. As we come to the end of the 1990’s things have changed. It still appears to be universally accepted that access is the most important part of the BMC’s work - without access there is no climbing or hill walking. However, the careful evolution of the BMC’s Access Charter, lobbying of Government and developing partnerships with other relevant bodies, has created significant stepping stones towards improving an individual’s right to responsible freedom of access to the open countryside. Progress has been impressive - although there is still some way to go for the Government to deliver its commitment to improve access for responsible outdoor recreation.
