Quasi ogni parete questa pratica in Italia, Svizzera, Francia. Oggi le cose stanno di arrampicata aveva infatti la sua via “adrenalina”, senza che cambiando, se pensiamo che in Italia ci sono diversi settori si sapesse bene cosa fosse esattamente. Si sapeva però che “trad” (in cui si arrampica all’inglese) e persino in Francia, era eccitante, appunto, che era una specie di droga, e che ad Annot ed a Krontal, stanno nascendo settori con queste pertanto andava usata con moderazione. Ogni climber che caratteristiche che convivono pacificamente con quelli si rispettasse, se voleva continuare ad esserlo, leggi esistere sportivi. D’altra parte, proprio da noi, a settembre, si è svolto fisicamente, imparava a dosarla al punto giusto senza farne il I° meeting internazionale del trad in Valle dell’Orco, che abuso.

  • Wall Free Climb in the World by Tommy Caldwell
    FREE PASSAGE Finding the path of least resistance means climbing the hardest big- wall free climb in the world By Tommy Caldwell Obsession is like an illness. At first you don't realize anything is happening. But then the pain grows in your gut, like something is shredding your insides. Suddenly, the only thing that matters is beating it. You’ll do whatever it takes; spend all of your time, money and energy trying to overcome. Over months, even years, the obsession eats away at you. Then one day you look in the mirror, see the sunken cheeks and protruding ribs, and realize the toll taken. My obsession is a 3,000-foot chunk of granite, El Capitan in Yosemite Valley. As a teenager, I was first lured to El Cap because I could drive my van right up to the base of North America’s grandest wall and start climbing. I grew up a clumsy kid with bad hand-eye coordination, yet here on El Cap I felt as though I had stumbled into a world where I thrived. Being up on those steep walls demanded the right amount of climbing skill, pain tolerance and sheer bull-headedness that came naturally to me. For the last decade El Cap has beaten the crap out of me, yet I return to scour its monstrous walls to find the tiniest holds that will just barely go free. So far I have dedicated a third of my life to free climbing these soaring cracks and razor-sharp crimpers. Getting to the top is no longer important.

  • Scottish Winters 2004-2006
    SIMON RICHARDSON Scottish Winters 2004.. 2005 & 2005.. 2006 ive climbs stand out from the last two winter seasons - a technical test Fpiece in the Northern Corries, a bolt-protected climb in the Southern HigWands, a major addition to Pinnacle Buttress on Creag Meagaidh, a stylish and very fast repeat on the Shelter Stone and the first winter ascent of a long sought-after line in the far north-west. These climbs are strikingly different in style, and highlight the variety of climbing styles in the increasingly popular sport of Scottish winter climbing. Dave Macleod's winter ascent of The Hurting in Coire an t-Sneachda in February 2005 was something special. This 35m-high crack line slices through the prominent steep triangular wall on the right side of Fiacaill Buttress and was first climbed in 1991 as a summer E4 6a. The winter ascent was graded a hefty XI, 11, making it by far the most difficult winter pitch ever led in Scotland. MacLeod's lead was brilliant, and the resulting route is highly technical and very bold. In rock climbing terms think E9 or ElO. After inspecting the route on abseil, Dave almost flashed the route on his first attempt, but fell off three moves from the top. Scott Muir then top roped the climb, and pointed out to Dave that he had gone the wrong way at the top. Dave returned three days later to settle the score. It was a cold, windy day and recent heavy snow meant the cracks were verglassed. Dave abseiled down to see where Scott had gone at the top, chopped the verglas out of the crucial gear placements and then led the route.

Not only are mountaineers mostly men, but mountaineering involves manly and heroic social dispositions that establish male domination (Louveau, 2009). 2 Because mountain activities are a feminine-masculine construction, I chose here to look at the practice of mountaineering through the lens of autobiographies of female mountaineers. In these accounts, women never fail to mention male mountaineers, thus giving us an insight into men’s perception of them.
