Russell The weather experienced in many parts of rhe Alps during rhe early months of 1877 was, to say the least, inhospitable. Long unsettled periods alternated with spells of extreme cold and biting winds; in the vicinity of St Morirz very low temperatures were recorded during January. One member of the Alpine Club able to make numerous high-level excur­ sions during the winter months in more agreeable conditions was D. W. Freshfield, who explored the Maritime Alps and foothills while staying at Cannes. Writing later in the AlpilJe Journal Freshfield recalled his _experiences in the coastal mountains, including an ascent above Grasse. 'A few steps to rhe right and I was on top of the Cheiron, under the lee of a big ruined signal, erected, no doubt, for trigonometrical purposes.

  • Les Clochers D'arpette
    31 Les Clochers d’Arpette Portrait : large épaule rocheuse, ou tout du moins rocailleuse, de 2814 m à son point culminant. On trouve plusieurs points cotés sur la carte nationale, dont certains sont plus significatifs que d’autres. Quelqu’un a fixé une grande branche à l’avant-sommet est. Nom : en référence aux nombreux gendarmes rocheux recouvrant la montagne sur le Val d’Arpette et faisant penser à des clochers. Le nom provient surtout de deux grosses tours très lisses à 2500 m environ dans le versant sud-est (celui du Val d’Arpette). Dangers : fortes pentes, chutes de pierres et rochers à « varapper » Région : VS (massif du Mont Blanc), district d’Entremont, commune d’Orsières, Combe de Barmay et Val d’Arpette Accès : Martigny Martigny-Combe Les Valettes Champex Arpette Géologie : granites du massif cristallin externe du Mont Blanc Difficulté : il existe plusieurs itinéraires possibles, partant aussi bien d’Arpette que du versant opposé, mais il s’agit à chaque fois d’itinéraires fastidieux et demandant un pied sûr. La voie la plus courte et relativement pas compliquée consiste à remonter les pentes d’éboulis du versant sud-sud-ouest et ensuite de suivre l’arête sud-ouest exposée (cotation officielle : entre F et PD). Histoire : montagne parcourue depuis longtemps, sans doute par des chasseurs. L’arête est fut ouverte officiellement par Paul Beaumont et les guides François Fournier et Joseph Fournier le 04.09.1891. Le versant nord fut descendu à ski par Cédric Arnold et Christophe Darbellay le 13.01.1993. Spécificité : montagne sauvage, bien visible de la région de Fully et de ses environs, et donc offrant un beau panorama sur le district de Martigny, entre autres… 52 32 L’Aiguille d’Orny Portrait : aiguille rocheuse de 3150 m d’altitude, dotée d’aucun symbole, mais équipée d’un relais d’escalade.

LONDON JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE STREET 1880 All rights are reserved [v] PREFACE. In the year 1860, shortly before leaving England for a long continental tour, the late Mr. William Longman requested me to make for him some sketches of the great Alpine peaks. At this time I had only a literary acquaintance with mountaineering, and had even not seen—much less set foot upon—a mountain. Amongst the peaks which were upon my list was Mont Pelvoux, in Dauphiné. The sketches that were required of it were to celebrate the triumph of some Englishmen who intended to make its ascent. They came—they saw—but they did not conquer. By a mere chance I fell in with a very agreeable Frenchman who accompanied this party, and was pressed by him to return to the assault.

  • One Hundred Years Ago C a Russell
    One Hundred Years Ago (with extracts from the Alpine Journal) CA RUSSELL (Plates 83-86) Although the weather experienced in many parts of the Alps during the opening days ofJanuary 1891 was unsettled, with reports of violent winds and very low temperatures, conditions slowly improved as the month progressed and several winter expeditions of note were completed. In the Mont Blanc range on 14 January Paul Giissfeldt with a party including Emile Rey and David Proment made the first winter ascent of the Grandes Jorasses, reaching the summit by way of the SW face. The ascent was carefully planned and 'a great track had been made by a party ofmen sent some days before to clear the way as far as the Italian Club hut.' Any route to Pointe Walker, the highest peak, is a fine expedition and the climb was a considerable achievement, even for this formidable party. Later in the month Giissfeldt, with Rey, Proment and two porters climbed the Gran Paradiso. 'The ascent ofthis peak by Dr Giissfeldt onJanuary 25 last, though not the first that has been made in winter, deserves record as a remarkable performance.' The party succeeded 'after two false starts, in getting t off from the Rifugio Vittorio Emanuele a few minutes before midnight on the 24th, reached the summit at 4.30, remained there twenty minutes and returned to the Rifugio at seven, thus accomplishing the whole excursion before sunrise. They were, however, favoured with a brilliant moon.' In the Bernina Alps on 20 February Mrs Elizabeth Mainl and WH Bulpett, with Martin Schocher and Martin Weibel, completed the first winter traverse of the three summits of Piz Palii and the first winter ascent of the central, highest, peak.

  • Jakob Anderegg
    JAKOB ANDEREGG JAKOB ANDEREGG BY D. F. 0. DANGAR T was unusual in the early years of the Club for a detailed obituary of a guide to be published in the Alpine Journal. Michel Croz, for instance, has no such notice; Andreas Maurer is dismissed in half a page and even in the case of Emile Rey, Giissfeldt and de Dechy, while paying tribute to him in the Correspondence columns, give all too few details of his career. Not until the death of Christian Almer in 1898 did a full-length biographical notice of a distinguished guide appear.1 As a result, the records of the achievements of the old-time guides are scattered through many volumes of the Journal, making it not always an easy matter to reconstruct the career of a particular guide. J akob Anderegg is a case in point; his brief obituary by A. W. Moore2 does not name a single expedition in which he took part. It was in the summer of r864 that Jakob, unknown and untried, appeared upon the Alpine scene and in the short space of fourteen years reached the highest ranks of his profession and at his death in r 878 left behind him a reputation for brilliant and daring enterprise equalled by few, if any, of his contemporaries. He was born in r827 and nothing is heard of him until A. W. Moore found him at Zermatt with the Walker family in July, r864.3 On July 12, this 'fine, handsome, fair man, with a profusion of beard and apparently as strong as a horse ' made his first recorded expedition, the second ascent of the Rimpfischhorn.

  • A Winter's Day at Courmayeur 1
    228 A WINTER'S DAY AT COURMAYEUR A WINTER'S DAY AT COURMAYEUR 1 BY CI-IARLES GOS T La Fouly the winter's day is darkening into night. Avalanches have fallen, it is hard to say where; up by the La Neuvaz Glacier, I should say. Somewhere the thunder of their voices can be heard. It 'is like listening to the rise and fall of the battering surge far off along the coast. In these mysterious rumblings, this clash of battle as nature's forces meet, we see another likeness that betrays the common parentage of sea and mountain. To-morrow we cross the Coi du Petit Ferret on skis. I cannot finish off some notes I need for a work I am just completing without once more seeing Courmayeur with its guides, its own particular setting and its old cemetery. My brother Emile comes with me, and we are to be joined by that fine old fellow Maurice · Crettex of Champex, well known to English climbers, and often referred to as ' le vieux guide du Signal.' He has business of his own to see to, including some transaction concerning cow-bells which appears to be an extremely complicated affair ; he is delighted at the prospect of a meeting with those trusted friends of his, Henri and Adolphe Rey, Laurent Croux and the rest of them. * * * * * Icy gusts were sweeping over the Col. In front of us lay the long white trough of the Italian Val Ferret with its mosaic of dark blue forests. The great walls of the Triolet, heavy with snow, rose above us.

  • MRS. HARRIS. I87
    Photo by Miss I. M. E. Bell THE BROUILLARD ARETE FROM THE CANTINE DE VISAILLE 137 A FESTA AND AN ASCENT OF THE BROUILLARD BY DOROTHY E. THOMPSON With the Peuteret Ridge burning fantastically in the rose glow—the Aiguille Noire four thousand or so sheer feet of diabolical colour—the Luigi Amedeo, in remote dignity towering above the Brouillard glacier, appeared almost benign by contrast. Standing by the Gamba hut, as one turned from watching the Dames Anglaises to look at the Col Emile Rey, its beautiful white curve seemed to have a certain mesmeric quality. Be that as it may, Joseph Georges le Skieur found small difficulty in fanning the wish to climb Mt. Blanc from the Italian side into an un­ bounded enthusiasm for the Arete Brouillard. It is, unfortunately, always on the last day of the holidays that these inspirations occur. Cautiously, during the following twelve months one sought counsel of the wise. It could not be said that they gave the idea blatant encouragement—their advice bearing a strong resemblance to Mr. Punch's to those about to marry. Only, their word was " Bivouacs ! " As I set out for my summer holiday in 1929 an invigorating missive reached me on the very morning that I left England, to the effect that a famous climber, casually, in conversation, had described the Couloir Emile Rey as a death trap; whereon I promptly decided that the ridge was not for me—a decision which it took the Alps themselves, looming gently on the horizon to revoke. Even less encouraging was the festa.
