On the Buttress Original Route, Americans GeoffTobin and Bob Shapiro made a completely free ascent, eliminating the tension traverse; they assessed the climb as 5.10 + . Elsewhere, at Embaribal attention has concentrated on the Rift Valley crag-further details are given in Mountain 73 17.

A Polish expedition led by Janusz Maczka established a new extremely hard route on the E face of Liap Nazar (5974m), up a prominent rock pillar dubbed 'one of the mOSt serious rock problems of the Pamir'. It involved 70 pitches, 40 ofthem V and VI, all free climbed in 5 days, the summit being reached on 6 August. The party's activities were halted at one point by stone avalanches.

Fall Into Crevasse - Traveling Unroped on a Glacier Alaska, St
AAC Publications Fall Into Crevasse - Traveling Unroped on a Glacier Alaska, St. Elias Range, Middle Peak At the end of March, I (Colin Haley, 28) left for a climbing trip in Alaska’s St. Elias Range with Portlanders John Frieh and Daniel Harro. We were flown into the range by Paul Claus midday on April 1. We spent a few hours setting up our base camp and then went for a short ski up-glacier to scope our objective. About 20 minutes out of camp, I suddenly broke through a totally hidden crevasse and fell approximately 15 meters, ricocheting off the walls of the crevasse. We had left for our leisurely ski with essentially no equipment, so Daniel immediately skied back to camp to fetch a rope, crampons, ice tools, and harnesses. I was able to climb out of the crevasse with a top-rope (and even managed to rescue my skis and poles). Fortunately, I escaped any truly serious injuries. Unfortunately, however, I had a fractured cheekbone and my trip was over. We skied back to camp and the next morning I flew off the glacier, for a total of about 16 hours in the St. Elias Range. John and Daniel graciously offered to fly out and help get me home, but I was confident I’d be alright, so I told them to stay and go climbing. This accident has undoubtedly made me more wary of glacier travel, even though it’s something I’ve been doing very regularly for over 15 years. I’m sure I will continue to do some occasional solo travel on glaciers, but I absolutely view solo glacier travel much more seriously now. -

Thus, we’ve teamed up with the American Breast Cancer Foundation, an organization that is doing their part to save our world, one breast at a time, in order to do our part, in hopes of becoming role models and encouraging the rest of the world to do their part too. So here’s our plan: We are going to climb Denali (Mount McKinley) via the West Buttress route in June of 2006. -

Mount Everest Foundation Expedition Reports 1995 SUMMARISED by BILL RUTHVEN
Mount Everest Foundation Expedition Reports 1995 SUMMARISED BY BILL RUTHVEN ach year, the Mount Everest Foundation supports a number of expedi Etions undertaking exploration in one form or another amongst the high mountains of the world. As well as 'Approval' - which in itself some times has the effect of opening other purses - most expeditions also receive a grant, usually ranging between £200 and £1500. Whilst this only repre sents a small proportion of the overall cost of an expedition, the moral support and the promise of a few hundred pounds during the preparatory stages of an expedition can sometimes make the difference between it going and not going. All that the MEF asks in return is a comprehensive report. Once received, copies are lodged with the Alpine Club Library, the Royal Geographical Society and the British Mountaineering Council where they are available for consultation by future expeditioners. The following notes are based on reports that have been received during 1995, and are divided into geogra phical areas. America - North 95/14 British Hub-Sew 1995 Geoff Hornby (with Dean Freeman, Stephen Jones and Tom Nonis). May-June 1995 On arrival in the Mount Logan area of Canada, this team was surprised to find very little snow, but later over four metres fell in a single night. Hub-Sew (3570m) looked unsafe throughout the expedition, so attention was turned to other peaks in the vicinity. A new route was climbed on Wood Peak (4840m), which they called the Sinclair Spur in memory of Mark Sinclair who was to have been a member of the team but was killed earlier in the year. -
