    This Is Me Waking up 1000Ft up on El Cap's North America Wall

    This is me waking up 1000ft up on El Cap's North America Wall. I am not overly psyched. Although you cannot see it in the photo, at this point I was being blasted by ice cold wind, being showered with bits of ice and I had a knee that had seized up. My psyche level was around 1 out of 10 and despite sort-of hoping that things would sort themselves out, I had pretty much already decided to bail. I really did not come here to bail but somehow the idea of going back down is, on the whole, more reasonable when you are on a route compared with when thinking about it at home. So, what was meant to be my first big-wall solo, became my first big-wall bail. ~- x -~ A week earlier I arrived in San Francisco. It was after a pretty hectic week and I was knackered, I think, due to this, somehow I managed to lose my wallet between airports. It took a while to accept this - I do not lose things. Boring story really; but I made contact with friends-of-friends, crashed at theirs and spent the next 48 hours getting cash via Western Union and finding somewhere that would rent a car using photos of a debit card and a counterpart driving licence. I arrived in a cold and rainy Yosemite Valley on the 7th of May and, with no a tent, I set to work to find a bivi with a roof. Once found, I went shopping for the gear and converted the car boot in my gear store/wardrobe.
  • Mount Hooker's North Face

    Mount Hooker's North Face

    Mount Hooker’s North Face R i c h a r d K. M c C r a c k e n T h e G o l d e n Age of Mountaineering is still with us on great, impressive faces in the Wind River Range. The 1800-foot north face of Mount Hooker was one of the better-known, though not the only one of these unclimbed walls. After a week of climbing in the Cirque of the Towers region, Royal Robbins, Charlie Raymond and I made a reconnaissance of it from Base Camp at Graves Lake. The face has a prow-like bend in the middle, which appears in sharp, nearly vertical profile as you approach from the lake. A network of cracks cover it, and two long, sloping ledges high up slash across the left side. The upper one, which we dubbed Der Main Ledge, diagonals up to the summit, and the lower one, Der Minor Ledge, parallels it a few hundred feet below. Its appearance from the base discourages the climber and it is easy to see why at least two other parties surveyed the wall but did not climb it. Although the face is covered with a maze of cracks, there is no obvious line of attack. Various cracks appear climbable but many are useless because they either have inaccessible beginnings or lead nowhere. We noticed a promising series of chimneys and jam-cracks, starting 800 feet above the ground. They lay on the prow and led to Der Minor Ledge and eventually the summit.

    “Curious Caverns”: Cave Tourism in Nineteenth-Century Ireland by Nick E. Bridges A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements For the degree of Master of Arts in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Nick E. Bridges, December, 2016 i ABSRACT “Curious Caverns”: Cave Tourism in Nineteenth-Century Ireland Nick E. Bridges Advisors: University of Guelph Dr. Kevin J. James Dr. Finola O’Kane-Crimmins Dr. Alan Gordon Caves were sites in Ireland’s developing tourist landscape during the nineteenth century. In this study, St. Kevin’s Bed, Co. Wicklow, the caverns around Cong, Co. Mayo, and the Mitchelstown caves, Co. Tipperary, are examined to illustrate how these destinations were incorporated within mass tourism from approximately 1830 to1914. The tourism industry which developed during the nineteenth century highlighted caves and promoted them as both supernatural and natural spaces within wider landscape tours. As supernatural places, caves expressed Irish myth and folklore. Other sites prompted tourists to consider aspects of Irish history. As the century progressed, interest in and knowledge of geology expanded and caves became destinations where tourists could learn about new scientific developments and experience geological wonder. Travel literature prefigured caves as dynamic destinations able to fulfill the diverse desires of many tourists. However, developments in infrastructure were necessary for travelers to reach these sites. Steamboats ferried tourists across the Irish sea onto the island and an ever-expanding network of railways snaked their way across Ireland. The case studies featured here were all integrated into different tourist networks. St. Kevin’s Bed was a marker within Glendalough’s wider landscape, an established eighteenth century site.

    78 VERTICAL Ultralight and Cord Technique have a reduced safety factor when compared with traditional rigging. They therefore demand totally competent Alpine caving technique and even then extra precision. These rigging techniques are most useful for prospecting or light sporting trips when a small number of cavers will pass and wear on gear is not severe. Ultralight rigging Ultralight rigging is not so much a technique as a philosophy of reducing equipment weight, then rigging extra carefully to compensate. Rope makes up the bulk of your load so use the lightest available—8 mm, 7 mm and hopefully in the not too distant future even thinner ‘super fibre’ ropes. Deviations instead of rebelays and an absolute minimum of slack in rebelays give considerable rope savings. Thin ropes are not at all tough so use pure Alpine technique only, with NO rubbing of rope against rock. Rigging gear can also be reduced. Seven millimetre aluminium maillons on belays and mini-krabs on deviations are lighter than standard karabiners. Direct attachment bolt hangers or tying the rope into the eye of hangers (aluminium with rounded attachment hole only please) will also save weight. Leave pitons and nuts at home and use jammed knots and slings instead. The greatest risk in Ultralight Rigging is that 7 mm and 8 mm ropes cut very easily as they zip across rock edges under the weight of a falling caver. Rig ropes to avoid this by using tight backups and Y belays. This also keeps the chances of shock loading of the rope to an absolute minimum.

    This is a unique point in history. The world has changed dramatically. What started out as a warning, turned into a pandemic and transformed life as we know it. So, it’s time to train now to climb later. We play the long game and stay positive. Climbers know that the secret to solving a problem is not just about getting stronger, but also about getting smarter. Research on astronauts, explorers, mountaineers and others who have coped in extreme situations show there are many creative ways to deal with confinement and isolation in uncertain times. Climbers are part of a strong community that knows how to stick together. Maybe overcoming this pandemic will mean that we come back even stronger? There are so many examples of positive responses, resilience and solidarity. It might be tough out there at the moment, but there will be a point when we will be able to look back at these times and say that we made it through. We look forward to better times ahead. The problems, the crags, the mountains will all still be there once this is over and it’s safe to get out there. When the world opens back up, we’ll be ready.

    David's Basics of Big Walling Evening We Will Be Doing Active Teaching

    David’s Basics of Big Walling Evening We will be doing active teaching. The idea is that by doing something, rather than just hearing me say it, you stand more chance of remembering it. Do the activities in pairs or triples – one person can read the instructions while the other one does the activity; then swap roles on the next activity. Try to tick off as many of the activities as you can before you leave, but don’t expect to do them all – you can’t learn the whole of the topic in an hour or two. If there is something you don’t understand, ask. Big wall tips. Read these AFTER you have done the activities – they will make more sense then. A copy of this document is on my website: www.multipitchclimbing.com 1. You can’t have too many lockers. Take mainly twist locks. 2. You can’t have too many snap gates. 3. Screwgates don’t stay done up. 4. The belay needs to be clean and readable for speed and safety. 5. Make the lockers you first clip into the bolts on belays large ones. This is because they are likely to end up with other lockers and bits of rope clipped or tied to them. 6. At belays make sure you have two different forms of attachment at all times – normally the rope and one daisy – attached to two different parts of the anchor. The haul bag also needs to be tied in twice. (If you drop the bag it will fall whole length of the haul line and might rip the belay from the wall.) 7.
