The Dolomites the World Natural Heritage List Unesco
THE DOLOMITES THE WORLD NATURAL HERITAGE LIST UNESCO Nomination of the Dolomites for inscription on the World Natural Heritage List UNESCO Odle / Geisler O the mind, mind has mountains; cliffs of fall Frightful, sheer, no-manfathomed. Hold them cheap May who ne’er hung there 2 G.M. Hopkins (1844 - 1889) Nomination of the Dolomites for inscription on the World Natural Heritage List UNESCO THE TENTATIVE LIST AND THE NOMINATION OF THE DOLOMITES This Nomination Document is the answer to the Decision to defer the previous nomination of the Dolomites (2005) expressed by the World Heritage Commit- tee during the Thirty-first Session Christchurch, New Zealand (23 June – 2 July 2007). In detail, the World Heritage Committee having examined Documents WHC-07/31. COM/8B and WHC-07/31.COM/INF.8B.2, defers the examination of the nomina- tion of The Dolomites, Italy, to the World Heritage List on the basis of criteria (vii) and (viii). As outlined in the document licensed by the Word Heritage Committee at the end of the 29th session held in Durban, South Africa, in July 2005, Italy has proposed the Dolomites as one of the sites deserving consideration for a possible future nomination as a site of outstanding universal value. The request was included in annex 1 of the Tentative List dated march 31st 2005, whereas the denomination ‘Dolomites’ is defined in annex 2 “Tentative List Sub- mission in accordance with decision 27 Com 8a” and annex 3 (Properties ac- cepted as meeting the requirements for Tentative List), within the scope of the broader denomination ‘Alps’, which also includes a) Western Alps and c) Eastern Alps, under the category ‘Natural Sites’. -

W. Lloyd. ScHWEIZER ALPEN CLUB. Mr. E. Gotdon Spencer represented the Alpine Club at the Fete centrale at Basel on November 15-16, 1958, and in a short speech conveyed the Club's good wishes to the S.A.C. Dr. Georg Calonder has succeeded Dr. Robert Wenck as President on the expiry of the latter's term of office. OsTERREICHISCHER ALPENKLUB. The O.A.K. celebrated its eightieth birthday last year, having been founded at Vienna on December 5, 1878. We extend our congratulations and best wishes. It has a membership of about 6oo, the small number being due to the fact that, unlike many of the Continental alpine clubs, it requires a qualification list of climbs from intending members. Swiss GLACIERS. The Swiss Commission des Glaciers in its report for 1956-7 reveals that the great majority (85 per cent) of the eighty eight glaciers under observation were in retreat; 3 per cent were stationary, and 12 per cent were in growth. -
Italian Climbing Between the Wars Riccardo Cassin (Translation: S
Italian climbing between the wars Riccardo Cassin (Translation: S. K. Armitstead) It evolved all over the world at an incredible speed. At first it was essentially of an exploratory and scientific nature. It was the students of nature, and above all the geologists, who overcame the mystery and magic of the great mountains. In more recent times climbing has become primarily a sport: a recent conquest of civilisation. It was born of the feelings of love of nature inspired by the works of Jean Jacques Rousseau, Montaigne and other French writers. Its birthday was the ascent of Mont Blanc by the Swiss geologist de Saussure, who was the first to see the mountains through the admiring eyes of a poet, and the publication of his book Travels in the Alps. In an age in which scientists, like Tyndall, were ashamed to confess that they climbed Mont Blanc for the pure pleasure of scaling it and took a barometer with them as an excuse, the English taught and spread the pleasures of climb ing; the first explorers of our Alps were Englishmen. Every summit was reached by the most easily accessible route; then in order to know the mountains better, they had to climb them by every face. Walls, buttresses and cracks yielded one by one. They sought the difficult, the even more difficult problems. They reached the sixth grade, then VI+; from pitons and karabiners to stirrups and bolts. All the great North faces, hitherto invio late, were conquered. Then, as the Alps were no longer enough, they sought new virgin peaks in the Himalaya and the Andes. -

Hundert Jahre Felsklettern Die Geschichte Eines Gesellschaftlichen Phänomens
Richard Hechtel Hundert Jahre Felsklettern Die Geschichte eines gesellschaftlichen Phänomens Lisa Hechtel gewidmet in Erinnerung an Richard Hechtel Impressum Richard Hechtel: „Hundert Jahre Felsklettern – Die Geschichte eines gesellschaft- lichen Phänomens“ Redwood City/California USA Beendet im Jahr 2003 Redaktion: Günter Schweißhelm und Fritz Weidmann ISBN 978-3-00-033616-4 ISSN 1616-6450 Titelbild: Richard Hechtel im Joshua Tree National Park Richard Hechtel HUNDERT JAHRE FELSKLETTERN Die Geschichte eines gesellschaftlichen Phänomens, erzählt von Richard Hechtel und seinen Mitarbeitern Herausgegeben von der Sektion Bayerland des Deutschen Alpenvereins e.V. Vorwort Dr. Richard Hechtel war einer der profiliertesten Bayerländer, ein begeisterter und erfolgreicher Bergsteiger und ein eleganter Felskletterer. 67 Jahre war er Mitglied der Sektion Bayerland. Schon in jungen Jahren war er alpin-schriftstellerisch tätig. Seine Autobiographie erschien 1989 unter dem Titel „Lebenserinnerungen, vom Klettergarten zu den Bergen der Welt“ in der Bruckmann-Bergsteiger-Bibliothek. In seinen letzten Lebensjahren bis zu seinem Tod am 17.06.2003 arbeitete er in- tensiv am vorliegenden Werk „100 Jahre Felsklettern“, das nunmehr die Sektion Bayerland veröffentlicht, wobei die moderne Kommunikationsmöglichkeit des Internet genutzt wird. Was will diese Veröffentlichung? Dazu schreibt Richard Hechtel: „Wir wollen in vorurteilsfreier Weise berichten, wie es wirklich war, und dabei den Leser unterhalten, Erinnerungen in ihm wach- rufen, ihn zu neuen Taten inspirieren und vor Irrtümern bewahren. Es wendet sich in gleichem Maße an den Sportkletterer, den Bergwanderer, den Himalayastürmer und den ‚Armchair Mountaineer„.“ Bewusst haben wir als Herausgeber Änderungen am ursprünglichen Text von Richard unterlassen und seine Sichtweise wiedergegeben, auch wenn sich das nicht immer mit unserer eigenen deckt. Wir danken Dr. -

HANS KRAUS 1906-1996 Dr. Hans Kraus died on March 5, 1996, in his home in New York City. He had been a mem ber of the Club for 55 years. He was best known in the climbing world for his pioneering efforts in developing the Shawangunks. He also made early trips to the Wind Rivers, the Tetons and the Bugaboos. Bom in Trieste, Italy, he graduated from the University of Vienna Medical School in 1929 and emigrated to this country in 1938. Introduced to climbing by his father at a very early age, he was closely associated with two of the leading Italian climbers of their respective generations, Emilio Comici and Gino Solda. Having climbed with these outstanding climbers in the Dolomites, he was trained in the use of double rope and artificial aid and introduced these tech niques to the eastern climbing community after his arrival in the U.S. Shortly after he came to New York City, he met with the late Fritz Wiessner, an Honorary Member of The American Alpine Cub. Wiessner had recently “discovered” the “Gunks” and the two began a partnership and friendship that lasted for generations. Kraus, living in New York City, was the leading developer in the development of the ‘Gunks from before WW II until the mid ‘50s. He did High Exposure and the Directissima. Although High Exposure is now rated 5.6, it was an extremely bold lead when first done by Kraus, armed with a hemp rope and what today we would consider to be very primitive pitons. On the original ascent he placed three pins on the top pitch.
