  • Club Activities
    Club Activities EDITEDBY FREDERICKO.JOHNSON A.A.C.. Cascade Section. The Cascade Section had an active year in 1979. Our Activities Committee organized a slide show by the well- known British climber Chris Bonington with over 700 people attending. A scheduled slide and movie presentation by Austrian Peter Habeler unfortunately was cancelled at the last minute owing to his illness. On-going activities during the spring included a continuation of the plan to replace old bolt belay and rappel anchors at Peshastin Pinnacles with new heavy-duty bolts. Peshastin Pinnacles is one of Washington’s best high-angle rock climbing areas and is used heavily in the spring and fall by climbers from the northwestern United States and Canada. Other spring activities included a pot-luck dinner and slides of the American Women’s Himalayan Expedition to Annapurna I by Joan Firey. In November Steve Swenson presented slides of his ascents of the Aiguille du Triolet, Les Droites, and the Grandes Jorasses in the Alps. At the annual banquet on December 7 special recognition was given to sec- tion members Jim Henriot, Lynn Buchanan, Ruth Mendenhall, Howard Stansbury, and Sean Rice for their contributions of time and energy to Club endeavors. The new chairman, John Mendenhall, was introduced, and a program of slides of the alpine-style ascent of Nuptse in the Nepal Himalaya was presented by Georges Bettembourg, followed by the film, Free Climb. Over 90 members and guests were in attendance. The Cascade Section Endowment Fund Committee succeeded in raising more than $5000 during 1979, to bring total donations to more than $12,000 with 42% of the members participating.

  • Alaska Range
    Alaska Range Introduction The heavily glacierized Alaska Range consists of a number of adjacent and discrete mountain ranges that extend in an arc more than 750 km long (figs. 1, 381). From east to west, named ranges include the Nutzotin, Mentas- ta, Amphitheater, Clearwater, Tokosha, Kichatna, Teocalli, Tordrillo, Terra Cotta, and Revelation Mountains. This arcuate mountain massif spans the area from the White River, just east of the Canadian Border, to Merrill Pass on the western side of Cook Inlet southwest of Anchorage. Many of the indi- Figure 381.—Index map of vidual ranges support glaciers.

  • Expeditionsbericht
    Expeditionsbericht Alaska-Range, Kahiltna Basecamp 22. April bis 20. Mai 2016 Teilnehmer: Julian Bückers, Michael Dürr, Christoph Hummel, Tobias Karpinski Blick vom P 13790 zum Mount Foraker. Der Rücken, der von rechts auf den Gipfel führt, ist der oberste Teil der Sultana Ridge, dem einfachsten Weg auf diesen Berg. Gebiets-Recherche: Wir hatten uns für eine Expedition in die Ruth-Gorge vorbereitet: Für Topos und Routeninformationen war vor allem die Homepage des American Alpine Journal nützlich, ebenso die Alpenvereinsbibliothek auf der Praterinsel in München, wo eine vollständige Sammlung aller Ausgaben des AAJ vorliegt. Anreise: Die Anreise nach Talkeetna, von wo aus man alle Ziele in der Alaska Range per Luft-Taxi erreicht, ist problemlos. Nach der Landung in Anchorage tätigten wir alle wichtigen Einkäufe in Anchorage. Wir waren für Lebensmittel und Basislagerausstattung in zwei Geschäften: Im riesigen Supermarkt Fred Meyer (1000 E Northern Lights Blvd, Anchorage, AK 99508) und im nahen REI Bergsportgeschäft (1200 W Northern Lights Blvd, Anchorage, AK 99503, United States). Praktisch war, dass man spezielle Biwaknahrung, Gas, etc. bei REI (https://www.rei.com) vorbestellen kann - diese Dinge lagen dann abholbereit verpackt für uns im Laden in Anchorage bereit. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Straßenseite befindet sich das noch mehr für Alpinismus ausgelegte Bergsportfachgeschäft AMH (https://www.alaskamountaineering.com). Nach einer Nacht in Anchorage ließen wir uns von Talkeetna Taxi (http://talkeetnataxi.com/) nach Talkeetna fahren. Das Taxi sollte man ein paar Tage vorher bestellen, die Kosten belaufen sich auf 250 - 300 US-Dollar. In Talkeetna unterhält Talkeetna Air Taxi ein sogenanntes "Bunkhouse", in dem Kunden bis zu ihrem Abflug und nach der Rückkehr kostenlos übernachten können.
