Spectacular Rock Formations in Yosemite Valley "Spectacular Rock Formations in Yosemite Valley" Yosemite Valley's landscape is defined by a series of staggering cliffs and geologic formations which accentuate its splendor.

  • North America Summary, 1968
    240 CLIMBS A~D REGIONAL ?\OTES North America Summary, 1968. Climbing activity in both Alaska and Canada subsided mar­ kedly from the peak in 1967 when both regions were celebrating their centen­ nials. The lessened activity seems also to have spread to other sections too for new routes and first ascents were considerably fewer. In Alaska probably the outstanding climb from the standpoint of difficulty was the fourth ascent of Mount Foraker, where a four-man party (Warren Bleser, Alex Birtulis, Hans Baer, Peter Williams) opened a new route up the central rib of the South face. Late in June this party flew in from Talkeetna to the Lacuna glacier. By 11 July they had established their Base Camp at the foot of the South face and started up the rib. This involved 10,000 ft of ice and rotten rock at an angle of 65°. In the next two weeks three camps were estab­ lished, the highest at 13,000 ft. Here, it was decided to make an all-out push for the summit. On 24 July two of the climbers started ahead to prepare a route. In twenty-eight hours of steady going they finally reached a suitable spot for a bivouac. The other two men who started long after them reached the same place in ten hours of steady going utilising the steps, fixed ropes and pitons left by the first party. After a night in the bivouac, the two groups then contin­ ued together and reached the summit, 17,300 ft, on 25 July. They were forced to bivouac another night on the return before reaching their high camp.

  • A Historical Geography of Yosemite Valley Climbing Landscapes J
    Journal of Historical Geography 32 (2006) 190e219 www.elsevier.com/locate/jhg Mapping adventure: a historical geography of Yosemite Valley climbing landscapes J. Taylor Departments of History and Geography, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, V5A 1S6 Abstract Climbing guidebooks are invaluable resources for examining how modern recreation has inscribed val- ues onto public landscapes. The history of rock climbing in Yosemite Valley is particularly instructive be- cause it was a principal location for modern rock climbing and influenced modern environmental thought. Examining climbing guidebooks for Yosemite Valley also reveals a cultural shift during the 1960s in how climbers represented themselves and their deeds. New trends in route descriptions and naming practices re- flected shifts in social mores, environmental conditions, and sporting behavior. Guidebooks produced since 1970 suggest a coarsening progression in sport and an altered community demography, yet these texts also illustrate how change reinforced climbing’s values and customs.

Keywords: Yosemite; Guidebooks; History; Gender; Recreation In August 1933 a young San Francisco lawyer named Peter Starr hiked into the Sierra Nevada wilderness and disappeared. A huge search ensued, complete with elite climbing teams and the first ever use of airplanes in a Sierra search and rescue. Three weeks later another climber found Starr’s body on a ledge of the steep, previously unclimbed northeastern face of Michael Minaret. Peter Starr’s death rocked genteel California. News reports and polite society obsessed about him, but at the service Francis Farquhar, president of the Sierra Club, transformed Starr from victim to hero.

  • Sandstone Towers of the American South-West Desert Eric Bjdrnstad
    ABOUT IRGHIL M'GOUN AND THE BOU GOUMEZ Slowly we insinuated ourselves into the elegant 'Hotel Roses de Dades' so from camping outside it in the blowing dirt we dined and slept within. Never did skis look so out of place as ours stacked by the tent against the hotel with nothing but desert all round. Only in the north lay the hint of snowy peaks. The next morning they were white-washed with new snow, but that salvo was too late. We were out. We phoned and arranged for the mini-bus to pick us up at the hotel. Another driver, a surly maniac, took us over the dramatic Tizi n' Tichka pass (nearly 2400m) back to Marrakech, and because the journey was based on mileage we were actually charged less than expected. The patisserie and later a gourmet meal in the 'Bagatelle' with lots of Chaud Soleil really ended the tour. If it gave little ski-ing for our Eagle selves, the Alpine halves of our beings were fully satisfied. It was the sort of expedition John Ball had made at the start of the game, a hundred years ago; very traditional. Sandstone towers of the American south-west desert Eric Bjdrnstad The American SW desert is a loosely delineated area of the Colorado Plateau. Geographically, it is referred to as a table-land or high desert country and encompasses portions of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah. The territory is the product of relatively recent geologic activity. Only 50 million years ago the entire region was convulsed by violent movement of the earth's crust, and 12 million years ago, the area uplifted 1200 to 1800m.

  • Grand Teton National Park Jackson District
    National Park Service Craighead Beringia South Wyoming Game & Fish U.S. Department of the Interior State of Wyoming Grand Teton National Park Jackson District Howard Quigley Jackie Skaggs Mark Gocke 307-732-0188 307.739.3393 307.733.2383 ext 231 Interagency News Release For Immediate Release January 30, 2008 JACKSON- An ongoing mountain lion research project suffered a setback last Friday, January 25, when a lion kitten was killed during a routine capture operation in Grand Teton National Park. A local veterinarian and biologists from Craighead Beringia South, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, and Grand Teton National Park were attempting to capture the 7-month old kitten of a radio-collared adult female mountain lion, when tracking hounds caught and killed the young cougar. Lion researchers routinely use hounds to safely track and tree the cats so that they can be tranquilized, collared and released. Unfortunately, in this case the kitten involved was in such poor health that it was unable to climb a tree and escape the dogs. “We‟re obviously devastated by the loss of the kitten,” said Teton Cougar Project leader, Howard Quigley. “We have captured a number of cats this age, and even younger, and they‟ve always treed well ahead of the dogs. This kitten was so emaciated it likely couldn‟t climb a tree. There were dozens available.” A necropsy performed by the crew‟s veterinarian, reported „very little body fat‟ and „marked muscle atrophy.‟ Officials believed the young cat probably would not have survived the winter. The kitten‟s mother, known as F101, has been the most productive breeding female in the history of the project, but is now old and possibly quickly losing her ability to provide for her young.

  • Wringing Light out of Stone
    MOUNTAIN PROFILE THE PALISADES I DOUG ROBINSON Wringing Light out of Stone So this kid walks into the Palisades.... I was twenty, twenty-one—don’t remember. It was the mid-1960s, for sure. I’d been hanging in the Valley for a few seasons, wide-eyed and feeling lucky to be soaking up wisdom by holding the rope for Chuck Pratt, the finest crack climber of the Golden Age. Yeah, cracks: those stark highways up Yosemite’s smooth granite that only open up gradually to effort and humility. Later they begin to reveal another facet: shadowed, interior, drawing us toward hidden dimensions of our ascending passion. ¶ The Palisades, though, are alpine, which means they are even more fractured. It would take me a little longer to cut through to the true dimensions of even the obvious features. To my young imagination, they looked like the gleaming, angular granite in the too-perfect romantic pictures that I devoured out of Gaston Rébuffat’s mountaineering books. My earliest climbing partner, John Fischer, had already been there— crampons lashed to his tan canvas-and-leather pack—and he’d returned, wide-eyed, with the tale of having survived a starlit bivy on North Palisade. [Facing Page] Don Jensen climbing in the Palisades, Sierra Nevada, California, during the 1960s—captured in a photo that reflects the atmosphere of the French alpinist Gaston Rébuffat’s iconic images of the Alps. Many consider the Palisades to be the most alpine region of the High Sierra, although climate change has begun to affect the classic ice and snow climbs.
