  • Alpejskie 4-Tysięczniki
    Alpejskie 4-tysięczniki Po zdobyciu kilku 4-ro tysięczników przyszło mi do głowy zrobienie listy (a jakże) i kompletowanie pozostałych szczytów. Na stronie Pettera znalazłem potrzebne informacje. W Alpach jest 51 szczytów o wysokości bezwzględnej powyżej 4000 metrów i wybitności nie mniejszej niż 100 metrów, czyli takich, które pasują do definicji „prawdziwej” góry. W 1994 roku UIAA ogłosiła oficjalną listę aż 82 szczytów czterotysięcznych i te dodatkowe 31 są zamieszczone na poniższej liście jako szczyty „nie ujęte w rankingu” (NR). Istnieje wiele punktów spornych na tej liście. Znajdują się na niej wierzchołki o wybitności zaledwie kilkumetrowej, podczas gdy pominięte są na niej wierzchołki o wybitności kilkudziesięciometrowej. Nie planuję wdawać się w dyskusję co jest „prawdziwą” górą a co nią nie jest. Podobnie jak przy innych projektach, tak i tu chodzi przecież o to, by być w ruchu. Kolorem zielonym oznaczam szczyty przeze mnie zdobyte, natomiast kolorem żółtym te, z którymi żadna próba do tej pory się nie powiodła.

  • The Alpine Club Library
    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.

LONDON JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE STREET 1880 All rights are reserved [v] PREFACE. In the year 1860, shortly before leaving England for a long continental tour, the late Mr. William Longman requested me to make for him some sketches of the great Alpine peaks. At this time I had only a literary acquaintance with mountaineering, and had even not seen—much less set foot upon—a mountain. Amongst the peaks which were upon my list was Mont Pelvoux, in Dauphiné. The sketches that were required of it were to celebrate the triumph of some Englishmen who intended to make its ascent. They came—they saw—but they did not conquer. By a mere chance I fell in with a very agreeable Frenchman who accompanied this party, and was pressed by him to return to the assault.

The topographic prominence is an important factor to decide the official nomination of a summit. The 'Official list' proposed by the UIAA is based not only on prominence but also on other criteria such as the morphology general appearance and mountaineering interest. Summits such as Punta Giordani or Mont Blanc de Courmayeur have much less than the 30 metres minimum prominence criterion but are included in the list because of the other criteria.

  • Trekking the Tour of Mont Blanc
    TREKKING THE TOUR OF MONT BLANC About the Author Kev Reynolds is a freelance travel writer and lecturer who lives in the Kent countryside when not trekking in distant mountain ranges. His close asso- ciation with Cicerone Press began in 1978 with his guide to the Pyrenees, followed by numerous other titles covering the Alps, the Himalaya and the more gentle landscapes of southern England. Some of his adventures when researching routes for his books appear in A Walk in the Clouds, a collection of short stories celebrating his life among mountains worldwide. In 2015 Cicerone published his memoir of trekking adventures in Nepal, entitled Abode of the Gods. He also acted as contributing editor for the Cicerone anniversary book, Fifty Years of Adventure. Elected an honorary member of the Outdoor Writers’ & Photographers’ Guild, SELVA (the Société d’Etude de la Littérature de Voyage du monde Anglophone) and the British Association of International Mountain Leaders (BAIML), Kev’s enthusiasm for the countryside in general, and mountains in particular, remains undiminished after a lifetime’s activity.

  • Bourritt's Attempt on Mont Blanc in 1784. T
    204 BOURRIT'S ATTEMPT ON MONT BLANC IN 1784 Thumb presents a rock face for its entire 3 ,ooo feet. We were fortunate in finding an excellent climbing route on a sloping rock-shelf leading to a scramble up a buttress, interspersed with short pitches of difficult climbing. The rock, however, was rotten and crumbled readily in many places. We climbed to a shoulder at about 2,ooo ft., directly overlooking the Sanctuary Pinnacle, when t~e character of the mountain changed to a sheer rock face with only one fault a vertical ice-filled cleft. A high wind had sprung up and although it was delightfu-l to bask on the sun-warmed rocks when out of the wind, it was not a suit­ able day for difficult rock climbing. We accordingly descended until we found a snow-filled gully, which provided a good glissade and route off the mountain. There is no doubt that the uppermost part of the Thumb presents great difficulty to the climber. During the year most of us had fio,vn over this group of mountains several times and had studied possible routes from the air as well as from the ground, and from all angles it appeared to be a very steep rock climb. This was our last day of climbing and the next day we struck camp, lashed up the sledge and drove the dogs back to the base. The fort­ night's climbing had been a great success, if enjoyment is the criterion of success, though we were very disappointed by our failure to achieve all that we had set out to climb.

Acknowledgements I am grateful to Frank Parkinson, without whose scholarship in support of Yorkshire-born students I could not have undertaken this study. The Frank Parkinson Scholarship stipulates that parents of the scholar must also be Yorkshire-born. I cannot help thinking that what Parkinson had in mind was the type of social mobility embodied by the journey from my Bradford-born mother, Marie McKeating, who ‘passed the Eleven-Plus’ but was denied entry into a grammar school because she was ‘from a children’s home and likely a trouble- maker’, to her second child in whom she instilled a love of books, debate and analysis. The existence of this thesis is testament to both my mother’s and Frank Parkinson’s generosity and vision. Thank you to David Higgins and Jeremy Davies for their guidance and support. I give considerable thanks to Fiona Beckett and John Whale for their encouragement and expert interventions.
