Related News • Female 30K Cycling Race Starts in Afghanistan • Afghan Female Cyclist in France Prepares for Olympics Fatima Sultani, an 18-year-old Afghan woman, spoke to TOLOnews and said she and companions reached the summit of Noshakh in the Hindu Kush mountains, which is the highest peak in Afghanistan at 7,492 meters. 1 The group claims to be the first all-Afghan team to reach the summit. Fatima was joined by eight other mountaineers, including two girls and six men, on the 17-day journey. They began the challenging trip almost a month ago from Kabul. Noshakh is located in the Wakhan corridor in the northeastern province of Badakhshan. “Mountaineering is a strong sport, but we can conquer the summit if we are provided the gear,” Sultani said.The team members said they did their exercises for the trip in Panjshir, Salang and other places for one month ahead of their journey. “We made a plan with our friends to conquer Noshakh summit without foreign support as the first Afghan team,” said Ali Akbar Sakhi, head of the team.

  • An Ascent of the Watzmann Ostwand
    An Ascent of the Watzmann Ostwand R ic h a rd N. Me y e r T H E Watzmann, an 8900-foot peak in the Bavarian Alps, domi­ nates the ancient little town of Berchtesgaden as majestically as the Matterhorn does Zermatt. Many thousands of Americans admire it every year, for Berchtesgaden is a major recreation and vacation center for all the American troops and civilians and their families stationed in Europe. The posh Berchtesgadener Hof, which only a few years ago echoed to the “Heil Hitler” greetings of the Third Reich’s rulers, is now only one of several hotels still under requisi­ tion by American authorities. There is never a dull moment at Berchtesgaden. Entertainment abounds: all kinds of sports; visits to the bleak, bombed-out resi­ dences of former Nazi V IP’s; American movies and night clubs; snack bars and real bars. In particular, the American authorities have tried hard to rouse an interest in climbing. The challenge of the peak is always there, an interesting and steep scramble of seven or eight hours with an overnight stay at a comfortable Alpine Club house; and there is a “Watzmann Club” which issues certificates to Amer­ icans who make the climb. The tour is really worth while, with a fine view and close-ups of magnificent, rugged mountain scenery, not equalled on many a higher and more difficult peak. Despite these well-publicized attractions, the thousands of Amer­ icans in the valley rarely lift their eyes to the hills. I have been on the Watzmann three times by different routes; and, except my wife and three friends who once accompanied me, I have never seen another American on the mountain or at the cabin.

  • Belay Device Recommendation for Single Pitch Climbing
    Belay Device Recommendation for Single Pitch Climbing The German Alpine Club (DAV) recommends assisted braking belay devices for belaying single pitch routes in climbing gyms and outdoors. Assisted braking devices offer a safety advantage as compared to manual belay devices. There are different models of assisted braking belay devices on the market. They all have one characteristic in common: In case of a fall they pinch the rope. This is how they assist the belayer’s hand strength. Whether using an assisted braking device or a manual device (e.g. Tube/Munter Hitch): every belay device has specific handling characteristics. Only if you know and are familiar with these characteristics can you belay correctly and avoid errors of application. Qualified training and practice are essential. Crucial issues when belaying with any device: - Always keep a controlling hand on the rope - Practice your device handling before you start belaying - Practice holding falls - Consider the weight difference between climber and belayer - Consider the amount of hand strength required to hold a fall when choosing a device - Choose the right spot for belaying, in particular when the climber is still near the ground - Reduce the amount of slack rope to the utmost, in particular when belaying near the ground - Constantly pay attention What is the advantage of assisted braking belay devices? Especially in gyms and at highly frequented crags, distraction is a serious problem. Inattentiveness may quickly lead to a severe accident. Assisted braking belay devices increase the chance of preventing a fall to the ground despite belaying errors. In particular at artificial climbing walls the route of the rope is often straight so that rope friction is minimal, therefore a large part of the energy of the fall ends up on the belayer.
