He would welcome further information and any new route descriptions for publication in these pages at: 2 Top Sling, Tregarth, Bangor, Gwynedd LL57 4RL. The year saw AC members involved in several important winter as­ cents, a continuous crossing of all the 4000m peaks in the Alps, plus a fine series of first woman solo ascents. It also saw the demise of two outstanding continental activists: Romain Vogler, one of the greatest Swiss Alpine rock-climbers and full-time guide, died at the age of 34 in a rappelling accident on a crag at Maladiere. It appears that he was making a long rappel and had not set the ropes equally, his weight com­ ing on to a single strand as he neared the bottom. In May Fred Vimal, France's most promising young Alpinist, was killed whilst trying to solo a hard mixed free/aid route on the Grand Capucin. He was held by his ropes after a 20m fall, but appears to have hit his head and prob­ ably died of hypothermia.

  • Les Clochers D'arpette
    31 Les Clochers d’Arpette Portrait : large épaule rocheuse, ou tout du moins rocailleuse, de 2814 m à son point culminant. On trouve plusieurs points cotés sur la carte nationale, dont certains sont plus significatifs que d’autres. Quelqu’un a fixé une grande branche à l’avant-sommet est. Nom : en référence aux nombreux gendarmes rocheux recouvrant la montagne sur le Val d’Arpette et faisant penser à des clochers. Le nom provient surtout de deux grosses tours très lisses à 2500 m environ dans le versant sud-est (celui du Val d’Arpette). Dangers : fortes pentes, chutes de pierres et rochers à « varapper » Région : VS (massif du Mont Blanc), district d’Entremont, commune d’Orsières, Combe de Barmay et Val d’Arpette Accès : Martigny Martigny-Combe Les Valettes Champex Arpette Géologie : granites du massif cristallin externe du Mont Blanc Difficulté : il existe plusieurs itinéraires possibles, partant aussi bien d’Arpette que du versant opposé, mais il s’agit à chaque fois d’itinéraires fastidieux et demandant un pied sûr. La voie la plus courte et relativement pas compliquée consiste à remonter les pentes d’éboulis du versant sud-sud-ouest et ensuite de suivre l’arête sud-ouest exposée (cotation officielle : entre F et PD). Histoire : montagne parcourue depuis longtemps, sans doute par des chasseurs. L’arête est fut ouverte officiellement par Paul Beaumont et les guides François Fournier et Joseph Fournier le 04.09.1891. Le versant nord fut descendu à ski par Cédric Arnold et Christophe Darbellay le 13.01.1993. Spécificité : montagne sauvage, bien visible de la région de Fully et de ses environs, et donc offrant un beau panorama sur le district de Martigny, entre autres… 52 32 L’Aiguille d’Orny Portrait : aiguille rocheuse de 3150 m d’altitude, dotée d’aucun symbole, mais équipée d’un relais d’escalade.

  • One Hundred Years Ago (With Extracts from the Alpine Journal)
    CA RUSSELL One Hundred Years Ago (with extracts from the Alpine Journal) (Plates 57-61) he fIrst attempt to ascend Mont Blanc in the twentieth centuryl was T made on Thursday, but without success. Even before the Pierre Pointue was reached the snow was found to be so deep that racquettes had to be used, while at the Grand Junction of the Glacier de Taconna progress was rendered very difficult from the same cause. On reaching Grands Mulets (10,007 feet), it was decided to give up the task of reaching the actual summit owing to the great depth of the snow and the intense cold, and signs ofwind. Moreover, one of the guides was suffering from frostbite. The party, consisting of Mr. Crofts and the guides Joseph Demarchi, Fran~ois Mugnier and Jules Monard spent the night at the Grands Mulets, and descended to Chamonix next morning. The severe conditions experienced by Mr Crofts' party on 17 January 1901 were prolonged by exceptionally cold winds which persisted for several weeks in many Alpine regions. Although little mountaineering was possi­ ble the fust ski ascents of two peaks were completed: on 30 March Henry Hoek and Ernst Schottelius climbed the Dammastock; and on 28 May Schottelius, accompanied by Friedrich Reichert, reached the summit of the Oberaarhorn. A period of fine weather which commenced in May prompted an early start to the climbing season and by the end of the fIrst week in June a number of successful expeditions had been completed. Throughout Switzerland glorious, warm weather is being experienced, and with it Alpine climbing has begun in real earnest.

  • Christophe Dumarest
    THE CLIMB INTERVIEW Lucia Prosino talks to CHRISTOPHE DUMAREST France is renowned as a country of exceptional climbers and outstanding mountaineers. Christophe Dumarest is no exception. Behind this highly skilled athlete, however, lies an inventive and attentive person, always ready to crack a joke and eager to share his experiences with others. He’s climbed extensively in the Greater Ranges and opened many new routes in the Alps, such as Tifenn (V6 A1 M8+, 1100 m) on the Aiguille Sans Nom, Destruction Massive (M7/IV, 400m) on the north face of the Tournier Spur on the Droites, and Jean-Chri (7a+, A1, 800 m) on the, Hidden Pillar of Freney. He’s also repeated some of the famous hard modern classics in the range, such as the Lesueur Route (ED3, M8+, 900 m) on the north face of the Dru, and the Gousseault/Desmaison (M7+, 1100m) route with a direct variation. But he prefers to spend his time devising his next enchainments, with a keen eye on the aesthetics of the mountain range in question, and the historical aspects of the routes he chooses to link up. Lucia Prosino recently spoke to Christophe about his life and climbs, the role of ethics in the sport, and the enduring respect he has for British climbers and mountaineers. Mont Blanc is your home and your playground. (Largo’s Route, ED1, W16, M5 X 5c). Why are a lot of Can you still write history there? strong alpinists going to China these days?

  • Patrick Gabarrou : La Montagne Lui a Tendu Les Bras
    Publié le 21 juillet 2005(Mise à jour le 27/12) Par Jean-François Cullafroz Patrick Gabarrou : La montagne lui a tendu les bras Pèlerin de la terre et du ciel, c’est le titre d’une prière qui habite ce montagnard. Patrick Gabarrou vit depuis trente ans en vallée d’Arve, dans les Alpes. Il aime guider les personnes handicapées physiques pour admirer les plus hauts sommets d’Europe. Le 6 juin 2004, dans la nuit anniversaire du débarquement, Patrick Gabarrou, alpiniste de haut vol, ouvrait une nouvelle voie dans les Alpes françaises sur le versant est du Mont-Blanc du Tacul. Une longue équipée réalisée avec Pierre Darbellay, un collègue suisse de Verbier. « Cela faisait longtemps que j’avais repéré ce passage et j’attendais le moment propice. Deux jours auparavant, j’étais allé faire du ski de randonnée là-haut, sur le versant italien. La neige et la glace étaient de belle qualité. Alors, j’ai appelé Pierre », raconte le guide de haute montagne installé aux Carroz-d’Arâches, en Haute-Savoie. Ils s’étaient retrouvés quelques mois plus tôt dans les Aravis, dans une goulotte de glace près de La Clusaz. Ils se connaissaient peu mais, dès les premières impressions échangées, ils se sont dit qu’ils pourraient un jour faire route ensemble. « Faire une première à deux, c’est extraordinaire ! Au fil des heures, on sent naître une symbiose qui s’enracine dans la confiance des efforts partagés. Et puis, quand on est là-haut, après dix-neuf heures de montée, c’est un émerveillement commun.

    206 The Alpine Club Library. The entire text of the second edition is revised, rearranged, and rewritten, and the authors have not only simplified the general plan of the guide, but, acting on the advice of the reviewers of the first edition, have added a number of new features, and at the same time have not increased the bulk of the volume. The plan of listing peaks alphabetically within their groups has been retained, and to each peak is added not only the altitude, but the rna p reference number and a key letter indicating its oceanic watershed. It has been considered undesirable to retain the earlier sectional sketch maps, and instead a general key-map has been included. A new feature, noticeably absent from the first edition, is an index of passes with appropriate textual references. A glance at the index of peaks reveals in italics how many mountains in the Rockies are but tenta­ tively named ; and it is to be hop~ed most emphatically that the decisions of the Geographic Board of Canada, in confirming or revising the suggestions of pioneer mountaineers, will be arrived at with more wisdom and appropriateness, and less regard for passing political fancy, than has been evinced in the recent past. • N.

The Climb That Time Forgot takes the prominent New Zealand 2012-13 Kester Brown corner system up right from the large cave/overhang. The corner was entered from the right via a thin and technical traverse. Above, the groove proved less exciting than the ground below. (Mike Mitchell) Maritime Alps On the great north-east face of the Corno Stella (3050m), one of the best known and most important peaks in the southern Alps, the Bavarian-Italian team of Paolo ‘Maldi’ Dalmasso, Christian Gaab, Toni Lamprecht, Uli Strunz and Benno Wagner put up the hard new rock route, Come Animali nella Bolla dei Temporali (Like Animals in a Thunder Ball). The 450m, 13-pitch line has its hardest part towards the top: the last three pitches are F7c, F6b and F7b+, with obligatory moves of F6c.
