Alpejskie 4-tysięczniki Po zdobyciu kilku 4-ro tysięczników przyszło mi do głowy zrobienie listy (a jakże) i kompletowanie pozostałych szczytów. Na stronie Pettera znalazłem potrzebne informacje. W Alpach jest 51 szczytów o wysokości bezwzględnej powyżej 4000 metrów i wybitności nie mniejszej niż 100 metrów, czyli takich, które pasują do definicji „prawdziwej” góry. W 1994 roku UIAA ogłosiła oficjalną listę aż 82 szczytów czterotysięcznych i te dodatkowe 31 są zamieszczone na poniższej liście jako szczyty „nie ujęte w rankingu” (NR). Istnieje wiele punktów spornych na tej liście. Znajdują się na niej wierzchołki o wybitności zaledwie kilkumetrowej, podczas gdy pominięte są na niej wierzchołki o wybitności kilkudziesięciometrowej. Nie planuję wdawać się w dyskusję co jest „prawdziwą” górą a co nią nie jest. Podobnie jak przy innych projektach, tak i tu chodzi przecież o to, by być w ruchu. Kolorem zielonym oznaczam szczyty przeze mnie zdobyte, natomiast kolorem żółtym te, z którymi żadna próba do tej pory się nie powiodła.

    AIGUILLES and DOLOMITES. by E. Thomas

    268 Aiguilles and Dolomites . • AIGUILLES AND DoLOMITES. BY EUSTACE THOMAS. (Read before the Alpine Club, April 4, 1933.) T is four years since an article of mine entitled '· Six Years and the Four Thousanders,' an extension of a list furnished by Captain Farrar, appeared in the ALPINE JOURNAL ; 1 this gave a catalogue of Alpine peaks of a height of 4000 metres or over. My friends take a rather malicious delight in suggesting minor points and perhaps gendarmes on ridges to be added, and it is rather difficult to decide what ought or ought not to be included. Since that date, however, a list has appeared .in La JYlontagne under the signature of our member, Jean Chaubert; and with this I am in agreement. The principal addition was that of the Aiguilles du Diable, which I announced my intention of adding to the bag in my former paper. · In 1929 and 1930 the .Aiguilles du Diable were the principal objects of my desires, but were not in a fit state during my stay in the Alps those years. In 1930 I actually vvent to Chamonix from England for a second time in September ; but the weather changed for the wor$e on my arrival. All other points of Chaubert's list were gathered in however and, where there was any doubt, mountains were revisited. The original list was altered as follows .: Gran Paradiso, two points ; Massif of Mont Blanc two points on the Dome du Gouter were added, Pointe Bayeux and Poi1~te Bravais ; (:}ran des J orasses . Pointe Young was added; Grand Combin completely traversed to include five summits ; Breithorn completely traversed to include five summits; Jungfrau Group Wengern Jungfrau added.

    AIGUILLE DE BIONNASSAY 4052 M (Relazione Stilata Dalla G.A

    AIGUILLE DE BIONNASSAY 4052 m (Relazione stilata dalla G.A. Diego Filippi, 2018) Per la via Normale italiana Meravigliosa e superba cima, l’Aiguille de Bionnassay si eleva nettamente, tra il Col de Bionnassay e il Col del Miage, sulla lunga cresta ovest del Monte Bianco. Montagna decisamente elegante, deve la sua fama al profilo estetico della sua straordinaria lama ghiacciata che ne caratterizza la esile vetta. La prima ascensione spetta alla celebre guida di Chamonix Michel Payot, che con il collega Jean-Pierre Cacht, condusse in vetta la comitiva di inglesi E.N. Buxton, F.C. Grove e R.J.S. McDonald, il 28 luglio 1865, salendo per il versante nord ovest della montagna. Michel Payot lo troveremo anche successivamente come primo salitore dell’Aiguille de Rochefort nel 1873 e del Dôme di Rochefort nel 1881. Gli itinerari più frequentati che portano alla cima, la Normale Francese per la cresta sud e la Normale Italiana per la cresta est, sono salite in cresta di grandissimo interesse e soddisfazione, immerse in ambienti davvero isolati e selvaggi e caratterizzati da lunghissimi avvicinamenti per raggiungere i rifugi. La via Normale Italiana, per il ghiacciaio del Miage e del Dôme, segue in gran parte la Via Normale al Monte Bianco, staccandosi da questa solo nei pressi del Piton des Italiens. Club 4000 Gruppo della Sezione La via Normale Italiana Itinerario prevalentemente glaciale, immerso nel grandioso ambiente del versante occidentale del Monte Bianco. La salita al rifugio Gonnella, CAI di Torino seppur infinita e faticosa, è di grandissima soddisfazione. Uno spesso strato di detriti copre interamente il ghiacciaio del Miage rendendo Via G.

    Aiguille De Rochefort 4001M

    Aiguille de Rochefort 4001m The Aiguille de Rochefort is a 4001 m high mountain situated in the middle of the long ridge that goes from Dent du Geant to the Grandes Jorasses. The snow ridge that goes to this peak is among some of the most famous and aestetichs route of the Alps. It's one of the best and recommended day tours in the Mont Blanc area.

Few steps and we are on the glacier.The first part, until the “Gengiva” is quite easy scrambling. From there we start to follow the narrow snow ridge that with few up and down goes at the bottom of the last difficult cliff. 3 pitches on solid granit and we are on top of the Aiguille de Rochefort. The way back is along the same itinerary; with 3 rappels we pass the rock cliff and then we follow the ridge back to the “Gengiva”. Following the same itinerary of the way up, we go back to Rif. Torino 4 to 5 hours 700m 3 hours 700 m You have to know: Accommodation: Hotel in Courmayeur Meeting point: At 7:00am at the lift station in Courmayeur.

  • Les Clochers D'arpette

    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.

    Notes 1971 the Alps Colin Taytor

    Notes 1971 The Alps Colin Taytor Summary The summer season of 1971 must be one of the best on record. In the Western Alps the winter snowfall was late and less than usual, so the big classic faces came into condition early and remained in good condition for much of the season, in spite of several quite big storms in late July and August. A solo first ascent and half a dozen solo ascents of major routes were made by British climbers. British parties also made ascents of important routes such as the North-west faces of the Olan and the Ailefroide in the Dauphine, the Brouillard Pillars, the Grand Pilier d'Angle, the Central Pillar of Freney and the Droites North face in the Mont Blanc region, and of the Eiger and the Matterhorn North faces. Many other British parties made notable ascents and the notes below, while not complete, are confined mainly to their achievements. Details of ascents by continental climbers can be found in Alpine Climbing and in the continental journals, particularly La Montagne and Alpinismus. I am grateful particularly to Doug Scott, the Editor of Alpine Climbing and to Ken Wilson, the Editor of Mountain for collecting much of the information on which these notes are based, and also to many others who sent in information about their routes. DAUPHINE Probably more English parties climbed in the Dauphine in the summer of 1971 than ever before. Weather conditions were good, particularly during July, although several big storms occurred in August. As a result, many of the big routes were in condition.

    One Hundred Years Ago (With Extracts from the Alpine Journal)

    CA RUSSELL One Hundred Years Ago (with extracts from the Alpine Journal) (Plates 57-61) he fIrst attempt to ascend Mont Blanc in the twentieth centuryl was T made on Thursday, but without success. Even before the Pierre Pointue was reached the snow was found to be so deep that racquettes had to be used, while at the Grand Junction of the Glacier de Taconna progress was rendered very difficult from the same cause. On reaching Grands Mulets (10,007 feet), it was decided to give up the task of reaching the actual summit owing to the great depth of the snow and the intense cold, and signs ofwind. Moreover, one of the guides was suffering from frostbite. The party, consisting of Mr. Crofts and the guides Joseph Demarchi, Fran~ois Mugnier and Jules Monard spent the night at the Grands Mulets, and descended to Chamonix next morning. The severe conditions experienced by Mr Crofts' party on 17 January 1901 were prolonged by exceptionally cold winds which persisted for several weeks in many Alpine regions. Although little mountaineering was possi­ ble the fust ski ascents of two peaks were completed: on 30 March Henry Hoek and Ernst Schottelius climbed the Dammastock; and on 28 May Schottelius, accompanied by Friedrich Reichert, reached the summit of the Oberaarhorn. A period of fine weather which commenced in May prompted an early start to the climbing season and by the end of the fIrst week in June a number of successful expeditions had been completed. Throughout Switzerland glorious, warm weather is being experienced, and with it Alpine climbing has begun in real earnest.
