Due to its proximity to the equator, the weather is relatively stable throughout the year and when to climb Carstensz Pyramid generally relies on when your guide company is taking the expedition. The Climbing the Seven Summits: A Guide to Each Continents Highest Peak Buttress Route is the most commonly used path to the summit of Denali as it is the least technical and has significant infrastructure set up along the way in terms of Base Camps and medical evacuation availability.

Before attempting Puncak Jaya I plan to hone my rock climbing skills and work on specialist techniques such as jumaring a hanging rope. This was not without controversy, Climbing the Seven Summits: A Guide to Each Continents Highest Peak, since Bass selected gentle Mount Kosciuszko, an easy day hike in Victoria, as the summit of Australia. The South Col route from Nepal remains the most realistic route. Particularly more Alpine and high-altitude practice.

Hackett —an American mountaineer, reached the top of five continents. The Seven Summits are composed of each of the highest mountain peaks of each of the seven continents.

  • Radiological Protection and Radioactive Waste Management
    Occupational radiation doses of United Kingdom high altitude mountain guides as a result of cosmic ray exposures. Robert W Kerra* aRP Alba Ltd, Geanies House, Fearn, Tain, Ross-shire, Scotland, IV20 1TW, UK. Abstract UK based mountain guides lead multiple expeditions throughout the course of a year. They will receive radiation doses from cosmic rays during air travel and their time spent at elevated altitudes in the mountains of the world. These radiation doses are received as part of their employment. This paper illustrates that UK based high altitude mountain guides can potentially receive greater than 1 milliSv per year of cosmic radiation dose in excess of what they would have received at ground level. These individuals are “occupationally exposed” to cosmic radiation as a result of their profession. The European Community Basic Safety Standards Directive 96/29/EURATOM does not apply to exposure to cosmic radiation prevailing at ground level. The highest “ground level” that a UK mountain guide may be working at is 8848m. The maximum flying altitude of some internal flights in the UK is 7925m. 96/29/EURATOM does apply to cosmic radiations being received by aircrews therefore there is an anomaly in radiation protection where the cosmic radiation exposures of aircrew operating for short durations at altitudes lower than mountain guides operating at high altitudes for prolonged times have to be taken into account. UK based high altitude mountain guides are undergoing planned occupational exposures to cosmic radiation whilst still on the ground. Consideration should be given by the legislative authorities to include the control and assessment of cosmic radiation exposures of professionals likely to receive greater than 1 milliSv per year of cosmic radiation in excess of what would have been received in their home country at ground level.

    Dr. William Long 28 April 2001 Karen Brewster Interviewer (Begin Tape 1 - Side A) (000) KB: This is Karen Brewster and today is Saturday, April 28th, 2001. I'm here at the home of William Long in Palmer, Alaska, and we're going to be talking about his Antarctic and Arctic experiences and career. So, thank you very much for having me here. WL: Well, it's great to have you here Karen. It's an opportunity that I'm happy to participate in. KB: Well, good. And this is for the Byrd Polar Research Center at Ohio State. You very nicely wrote everything down and started to answer the questions, but I'm going to go through it so we can talk about things. WL: And I won't have those in my hand, so you can compare my answers to your questions. KB: So, let's just start with when and where you were born and a little bit about your childhood. 2 WL: I was born August 18th, 1930, in Minot, North Dakota. My father was a schoolteacher and he had taken his first job at Belva, which is near Minot, and it was that year that I was born. It was one of the coldest years they had experienced and perhaps that influences my interest in cold areas. But, my mother has told me that it was the year that it was below 50 below there and the cows froze in the field across from the home they lived in. We only lived there one year and from that point, we moved to California when I was one year old, and essentially I was raised in California, until I began adult life.

Harter Alpinismus am K2, dem »Berg der Berge«, dann komplett anders: Die Wüste von Chile, der Urwald von Neuguinea, die Weite der Antarktis … Kulturell und landschaftlich ist es eine riesige Fülle, für die es sich auf den Reisen lohnt, viel Zeit mitzunehmen, um sie zu erleben.
