  • 461 Indians on the Bolivian Side Pomaratu. They Climbed to Its Top
    CLIMBS AND EXPEDITIONS 461 Indians on the Bolivian side Pomaratu. They climbed to its top on October 12, placing only one camp at 17,000 feet. As far as is known, Parinacota (20,768 feet) had been climbed twice before. Pomarata, which seems to be the correct name (20,473 feet) was claimed as a first ascent by Bolivians in 1946, but there is no certainty of this climb. The top of Pomarata is heavily glaciated. OSCAR GONZALEZ FBRRAN, Chb Andho de Chile Argentina El Tore. A most extraordinary find was made by two climbers, Erich Groch and Antonio Beorchia, when on January 28 they made what they had assumed would be the first ascent of El Toro (20,952 feet), in the Province of San Juan. On the summit they found what appeared to be a human head lying on the surface. When they tried to lift it, they dis- covered it was still attached to a mummified body. They returned with others to retrieve the body, which had been there at least 450 years, a sacrificial victim with a wound at the back of the head. He had been a young man of between 15 to 20 years. He was in a sitting position with his hands crossed below his knees, dressed in gray trousers with red trimmings, a red wool cap and a poncho. Under the body a rat was found, also mummified.

    JOLENE UNSOELD “Un-sold” www.sos.wa.gov/legacy who ARE we? | Washington’s Kaleidoscope Jolene addresses an anxious group of employees at Hoquiam Plywood Company in 1988 as the uncertainty over timber supplies intensifies. Kathy Quigg/The Daily World Introduction: “The Meddler” imber workers in her district were mad as hell over set- asides to protect the Northern Spotted Owl. Rush Lim- Tbaugh branded her a “feminazi.” Gun-control advocates called her a flip-flopper. It was the spring of 1994 and Con- gresswoman Jolene Unsoeld of Olympia was girding for the political fight of her life. CSPAN captured her in a bitter de- bate with abortion opponents. Dick Armey, Newt Gingrich’s sidekick, was standing tall in his armadillo-skin cowboy boots, railing against the “self-indulgent conduct” of women who had been “damned careless” with their bodies. As other Republi- cans piled on, Unsoeld’s neck reddened around her trademark pearl choker. Men just don’t get it, she shot back. “Reproductive health is at the very core of a woman’s existence. If you want to be brutally frank, what it compares with is if you had health- care plans that did not cover any illness related to testicles. I “Un-sold” 3 think the women of this country are being tolerant enough to allow you men to vote on this!” Julia Butler Hansen, one of Jolene’s predecessors repre- senting Washington’s complicated 3rd Congressional District, would have loved it. Brutally frank when provoked, Julia was married to a logger and could cuss like one.

  • Lesson 2: Meet Mount Everest
    Everest Education Expedition Curriculum Lesson 2: Meet Mount Everest Created by Montana State University Extended University and Montana NSF EPSCoR http://www.montana.edu/everest Lesson Overview: Begin to unravel the layers of Mount Everest through geography and history. Learn where Mount Everest sits in relation to the world, to Asia, and to surrounding countries. Compare Mount Everest to the highest peak in your region. Trace the routes of the first Americans, and other mountaineers of the past, who summited this peak, and plot the routes this expedition took as you learn the history of the world’s highest mountain. Objectives: Students will be able to: 1. Locate and identify Mount Everest including the two countries it straddles. 2. Locate and identify Granite Peak, the highest point in Montana (or the highest peak in your state or region). 3. Compare and contrast the geography and history of Mount Everest to Granite Peak (or the highest peak in your state or region). 4. Explain the route the first Americans took to summit Mount Everest. Vocabulary: base camp: a place used to store supplies and get ready for climbing located low on the mountain, safe from harsh weather, icefalls, avalanches and the effects of high altitude found higher on the mountain col (coal): a low point on a ridge in between two peaks, also called a “saddle” crevasse (kruh-VAS): a crack in a glacier’s surface that can be very deep and covered by snow elevation: the height of place measured from sea level glacier: a massive river of ice that moves slowly downward

  • The Himalayan Mountaineering Institute Darjeeling
    HARISH KAPADIA The Himalayan Mountaineering Institute Darjeeling The foundation stone of the Institute was laid by Shri Jawharlal Nehru on 4 November 1954 (Plate 87) We sat around a roaring campfire. Raymond Lambert was visiting Sikkim as a special guest of Tenzing Norgay, and we, the students of the basic training course of the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, were enter­ taining the guests in exchange for superb Scotch whisky. The Indian pre­ Everest expedition was also there. Students and Sherpas mingled with leading mountaineers of India, taking in the ambience of food and fun. As the fire turned to embers, the night passed into memory; but the bonds of friendship forged on that evening back in 1964 have lasted me a lifetime. This would probably be the experience of many students of the Himal­ ayan Mountaineering Institute (HMI). The training for the basic or advanced courses lasts for about 35 days and includes lectures on many aspects ofmountaineering, trekking to the base camp and learning various . skills. Adventure courses for young people aged between 12 and 17 are also available. To round everything off there is a 'graduation ceremony' at which a specially invited guest presents a badge and a certificate to each successful student. Like the question 'What do you do after climbing Everest?', it is important to ask what you do after completing your course at HMI. For me, the HMI provided far more than physical training alone. Meeting famous Sherpas, hearing their stories and being exposed to the world of mountains has had a lasting spiritual effect on my life.
