SUMMITS OF DESIRE pparently Cerro Torre is the Marilyn Munroe mountain; that is according Ato Andy Kirkpatrick. He said so in his talk at the recent interna- tional winter climbing seminar and meet hosted by the BMC and MCofS at Glenmore Lodge. Andy was talking about desire and aiming for what seems to be the most unattainable objec- tive. After seeing all those photographs of such an attractive but inaccessible looking peak I think I understood the comparison Andy was making to the ‘goddess of glamour’. During another talk Rafael Jensen from Sweden made a very press- ing point about the need to make honest and full reports about ascents. Rafael had in mind some claims about ascents on K2 and Everest, but the point related well to Cerro Torre and the scepti- cism of Maestri’s infamous ‘compressor’ bolt route with the death of Tony Egger during the descent. Later, discussing some of the tactics Looking for Marilyn?

America considered the possibility of free climb- ing Maestri’s compressor route and removing the bolts. They joked about leaving the compressor, which still in litigation, criminal liability, and insurance could create hangs high on the wall, as a monument to Maestri’s tactics and a situation like permanent FMD restrictions (who said it high point. Now what a scheme that would be: a bold statement couldn’t get any worse?). It has been invaluable that all about ethics, truth, and respect for such an awesome peak. those volunteer supporters and access representatives have been busy pressing the case locally whenever practicable At least three other truths manifested themselves during the for the lifting of FMD access restrictions.

Without members and donors like you, we would fall short F of accomplishing our goals. I recently came across some interesting statistics in the Outdoor Foundation’s annual Outdoor Recreation Participation Report. In 2008, 4.7 million people in the United States participated in bouldering, sport climbing, or indoor climbing, and 2.3 million people went trad climbing, ice climbing, or mountaineering. It is also interesting to note that less than 1% of these climbers are members of the Access Fund. And the majority of our support comes from membership. We are working on climbing issues all across the country, from California to Maine. While we have had many successes and our reach is broad, just imagine what would be possible if we were able to increase our membership base: more grants, more direct support of local climbing organizations, and, ultimately, more climbing areas open and protected. We could use your help. Chances are a number of your climbing friends and partners aren’t current Access Fund members. Please take a moment to tell them about our work and the impor- tance of joining us, not to mention benefits like discounts on gear, grants for local projects, timely information and alerts about local access issues, and a subscrip- tion to the Vertical Times.

  • SAINT ELIAS RANGE ALPINE MOUNTAINEERING EQUIPMENT LIST © Copyright 2004 American Alpine Institute
    SAINT ELIAS RANGE ALPINE MOUNTAINEERING EQUIPMENT LIST © Copyright 2004 American Alpine Institute The Saint Elias Range is a land of extremes. Intense maritime storms, which may drop several feet of snow, can be quickly followed by a week of clear, sunny, and remarkably warm weather. The daily temperature fluctuations on the glaciers can be astonishingly large. With the ice filled valleys acting as giant reflector ovens, a clear cold night of 0F can become a sweltering 80F day only 8 hours later. The clothing you bring, therefore, should be selected with an eye towards versatility. In this regard, the layering effect achieved by a number of thinner garments will be preferable to one or two extremely thick items. Clothing should allow good freedom of movement and be light in weight. In May, at our base camp, lows at night normally range from 10F to 20F while the day- time highs climb up to comfortable above freezing temperatures. Average temperatures in June normally are about 5F to 10F warmer than those in May. Mid-day in June, the lower glaciers of the Saint Elias can be uncomfortably hot, even wearing shorts and a T-shirt, while night time lows dip to near the freezing point. Snow, sometimes lots of it, can fall during either month. Rain is not uncommon, especially at the lower elevations. In this program group climbing equipment and group camping gear (tents, stoves and cooking equipment) are supplied by AAI. Food is also provided though you may wish to bring along a small amount of your favorite snack food.

    VERTICAL TIMES The National Publication of the Access Fund Winter 15/Volume 104 www.accessfund.org Too Important to Fail: The Problem of Aging Bolts page 8 SIX THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU CLIMB IN THE DESERT 5 INSIDE SCOOP: INDIAN CREEK 6 CLIMBERS PARTNER WITH CITY TO OPEN NEW DULUTH ICE PARK 7 AF Perspective year ago, we shipped off several three-ring binders, each with over 500 pages of documents, to the Land Trust Alliance (LTA) Accreditation A Commission. This was our final application to become an accredited land trust—the culmination of six years of preparation that started with our adoption of the LTA standards in 2009. The accreditation process is so thorough that the LTA recommends hiring an external consultant just to help amass the necessary documentation. They generously awarded Access Fund a $2,500 grant to do just that. We’re very proud to announce that we are now one of 317 accredited land trusts in the United States. After launching our revolving loan program to support climbing area acquisitions in 2009, and after more than two decades of supporting land acquisitions across the country, we decided it was important for Access Fund to embody the highest standards for a land trust. Our work involves consulting with and supporting local climbing organizations (LCOs), and we want to give the best advice and serve as an example. LTA accreditation is important to us, to our network of local organizations, and to the climbing community. And it took a lot of work! We aren’t planning to throw ourselves an accreditation party, but I wanted to share a little of the backstory.

  • Gear Brands List & Lexicon
    Gear Brands List & Lexicon Mountain climbing is an equipment intensive activity. Having good equipment in the mountains increases safety and your comfort level and therefore your chance of having a successful climb. Alpine Ascents does not sell equipment nor do we receive any outside incentive to recommend a particular brand name over another. Our recommendations are based on quality, experience and performance with your best interest in mind. This lexicon represents years of in-field knowledge and experience by a multitude of guides, teachers and climbers. We have found that by being well-equipped on climbs and expeditions our climbers are able to succeed in conditions that force other teams back. No matter which trip you are considering you can trust the gear selection has been carefully thought out to every last detail. People new to the sport often find gear purchasing a daunting chore. We recommend you examine our suggested brands closely to assist in your purchasing decisions and consider renting gear whenever possible. Begin preparing for your trip as far in advance as possible so that you may find sale items. As always we highly recommend consulting our staff of experts prior to making major equipment purchases. A Word on Layering One of the most frequently asked questions regarding outdoor equipment relates to clothing, specifically (and most importantly for safety and comfort), proper layering. There are Four basic layers you will need on most of our trips, including our Mount Rainier programs. They are illustrated below: Underwear

  • Climbing and Rappelling: Safety Activity Checkpoints
    Climbing and Rappelling: Safety Activity Checkpoints Girls (except for Girl Scout Daisies) may participate in three types of climbing: Bouldering: Climbing without a rope but at a height not greater than 6 feet off the ground. Spotters (participants who safeguard the movements of a member of the group) provide support and protect the head and upper body of a climber in case of a fall. Spotting is used on descending and ascending high elements or climbing routes and bouldering. Top roping: A climbing method in which the climb is anchored from the top of the climbing route, using belays (safety ropes to secure a person to an anchor point). The belayer (person who controls belay/safety line to prevent long and dangerous falls) may be set up at the top or the bottom of the route. Multi‐pitch climbing: For experienced climbers only; a climb on a long route that requires several pitches the length of a rope or less (a “pitch” is the rope‐length between belay stations). The climbing group climbs to the top of the first pitch. The lead climber climbs the next pitch, anchors in, and belays each remaining climber individually to the anchor. Rappelling is a means of descending by sliding down a rope. The rope runs through a mechanical device, and a safety belay is used in all rappelling activities. Rappelling is not recommended for Girl Scout Daisies and Brownies. Know where to climb and rappel. Climbing and rappelling may be done on indoor or outdoor artificial climbing walls, climbing/rappelling towers, and natural rock.
