Las fechas en las que se llevarían a cabo ambas expediciones van desde la primera semana de marzo a la última de de mayo (en torno a 90 días, 45 por expedición con traslados interiores). La estrategia que plantea es, viajar durante la primera semana de marzo al Shisha Pangma (Tíbet) y en torno al 12 de abril, haya ascendido o no al Shisha, desplazarse en helicóptero desde Katmandú al campo base del Annapurna (Nepal). Obviamente, si en estas fechas está a punto de hacer cumbre en el Shisha y tiene posibilidades podría retrasar un poco su desplazamiento a la zona del Annapurna. El traslado entre una y otra montaña se llevaría a cabo en helicóptero desde Katmandú, para evitar la complicada marcha de aproximación al Annapura. Edurne y el equipo de alpinistas llegarían aclimatados y podrían iniciar inmediatamente la ascensión.

    US Female Mountaineers Travel Abroad, 1890-1915

    Jenny Ernie-Steighner Thinking Gender 2009 Conference Paper January 23, 3009 Delightful Escapes: U. S. Female Mountaineers Travel Abroad, 1890-1915 I would like to start this afternoon by sharing two primary documents with you. The first is an editorial note describing a “Mrs. Workman.” The second is a letter sent to a Miss Annie S. Peck. Though many of us today know little, if anything, about either of these women, the following two documents reveal an impressive contemporaneous familiarity with both Mrs. Workman (more commonly known as Fanny Bullock Workman) and Annie S. Peck. On June 2nd, 1910 the editor of the well-circulated British newspaper The Independent described Bullock Workman thus: Mrs. Workman, who is a native of Worcester, Mass., is an Officer l’Instruction Publique of France and a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, London. Major Darwin, the president of the society, said after Mrs. Workman read her paper on the Hispar Journey before it last December: ‘I believe I am right in saying that the feats accomplished by Mrs. Workman are more remarkable in the way of mountaineering than those which have been accomplished ever before by any of her sex. Whether I ought to make that limitation or not I am rather doubtful, but, at all events, with that limitation it will not be denied.1 Approximately fourteen years prior a young fourteen-year-old boy from Grand Rapids, Michigan wrote to Peck (who had recently summited the Matterhorn) with the hopes of gaining her signature. His letter read: Dear Madam, … I collect autographs.

In a special camp in the Shataeva; Elvira; women’s mountaineering; Cold War Soviet Pamir mountains, climbers from ten different Western nations, were to climb and live side by side with each other and and detente with Soviet and Polish climbers nearby. Inscribed in the context of political detente, the Pamir camp allowed for more cultural contact across the Cold War divides. It can thus be seen as a microcosm of different climbing communities, sometimes overcoming, but some- times also divided by the lines of nationality, language, political sys- tem, and last but not least by gender.
