Is it dangerous? It can be. Besides the risk of bad position when falling to the water it is essential for you to watch the depth of water at the place where you are climbing. The depth depends on high tide/low tide. With some routes it is possible to hit the rock when falling. It really helps to follow the DWS classification of risk (S0 to S3) and the descripti- on in the guide during the selection of the routes. Where have you already done DWS? At Kalymnos, Thailand and Mallorca. Is there any special equipment needed for DWS? Do you have any tech-tip? You can do without the special gear but having it extends your opportunities. The number one is a boat. If you don’t have it, a waterproof case for Lumír Fajkoš, SIGR Customer service manager yoor stuff will help.

  • From Brunate to Monte Piatto Easy Trail Along the Mountain Side , East from Como
    1 From Brunate to Monte Piatto Easy trail along the mountain side , east from Como. From Torno it is possible to get back to Como by boat all year round. ITINERARY: Brunate - Monte Piatto - Torno WALKING TIME: 2hrs 30min ASCENT: almost none DESCENT: 400m DIFFICULTY: Easy. The path is mainly flat. The last section is a stepped mule track downhill, but the first section of the path is rather rugged. Not recommended in bad weather. TRAIL SIGNS: Signs to “Montepiatto” all along the trail CONNECTIONS: To Brunate Funicular from Como, Piazza De Gasperi every 30 minutes From Torno to Como boats and buses no. C30/31/32 ROUTE: From the lakeside road Lungo Lario Trieste in Como you can reach Brunate by funicular. The tram-like vehicle shuffles between the lake and the mountain village in 8 minutes. At the top station walk down the steps to turn right along via Roma. Here you can see lots of charming buildings dating back to the early 20th century, the golden era for Brunate’s tourism, like Villa Pirotta (Federico Frigerio, 1902) or the fountain called “Tre Fontane” with a Campari advertising bas-relief of the 30es. Turn left to follow via Nidrino, and pass by the Chalet Sonzogno (1902). Do not follow via Monte Rosa but instead walk down to the sportscentre. At the end of the football pitch follow the track on the right marked as “Strada Regia.” The trail slowly works its way down to the Monti di Blevio . Ignore the “Strada Regia” which leads to Capovico but continue straight along the flat path until you reach Monti di Sorto .

  • Toponymy of Climbing Space: Names Within the Polish Climbing Community
    Toponymy of Climbing Space: Names Within the Polish Climbing Community Mariusz Rutkowski University of Warmia and Mazury Social groups create social space from geographic space in ways which are useful to their members. The nature of the social space can be approached through the names which are used to define it. A study of the names in the "climbing space" created by Polish climbers shows that they are l;lsed in ways which are meaningful only within the context of climbing and they serve to express group values and to promote group solidarity. The perception of mountains or more particularly the perception of the surrounding space, is conditioned by social as well as geographical factors; one important social factor is membership in a particular social group and engaging in the kinds of activies associated with it. Social groups have their own characteristic spatial activities, which determine the perception of space characteristic of them. This perception should be understood as a mental reflection of physical (objective) reality rather than as passive reception. The perception is a dynamic process in which a group delineates space, which results in the creation of a particular kind of social space (Lefebvre 1974). Creation of space is understood in its cultural and symbolic meaning, and not as creation of physical spatial forms (e.g., buildings), but as distinguishing from the surround- ing reality such objects as may be attributed to a specific type of activity. 1 Therefore, social space can be defined as symbolic space, perceived and mentally processed by a particular group, and the creation of such an understood social space is a prerequisite for successfully realizing the activities which are important to that group.

  • Annapurna I, East Ridge, Third Ascent. One of the Most Nota
    C LIMBS A ND E XP E DITIONS : N E PA L 375 Nepal ANNAPURNA HIMAL Annapurna I, east ridge, third ascent. One of the most nota- ble accomplishments of the season was the second two- way traverse of the east ridge of Annapurna I (8,091m). When the well-known Pol- ish climber, Piotr Pustelnik, organized his four-man team for this task, he was well aware of the difficulties they would confront on this huge ridge, which starts from Tarke Kang (a.k.a. Glacier Dome, 7,193m) in the east and runs westward over Roc Noir to the three 8,000m summits of Annapurna. However, he did not anticipate the addition of two not-so-highly skilled Tibetans on his permit and the problems one of them would present. The first ascent of the east ridge, which resulted in an elegant traverse of Annapurna, ranks with some of the most significant events in the history of Himalayan climbing. The ridge was first attempted by Germans in 1969, and again in 1981 by a Swedish team, the latter getting as far as the East Summit of Annapurna. Both approached via the West Annapurna Glacier and the east side of the col north of Fluted Peak. In September and October 1984 a six-man expedition entirely formed of Swiss guides, established four camps from the South Annapurna Glacier, climbing to the col between Fluted Peak and Tarke Kang from the more difficult but less dangerous west side, then, in common with the Germans and Swedes, up the ridge above to Tarke Kang itself.

  • The Eiger, North Face, Odyssee
    AAC Publications The Eiger, North Face, Odyssee Switzerland All photos by Frank Kretschmann / Funst.de I started dreaming of climbing a new route through the steepest part of the north face of the Eiger in 2002. I joined Steph Siegrist on his new project La Vida es Silbar (Siegrist-Steck, 2003) a few times. From my first moment in this small world on the Eiger, the central part of the wall fascinated me the most. While I was working on a free ascent of the Japanese Direttissima in 2003 with Simon Anthamatten, I watched Steph and Ueli Steck bolt my dream line, crying and smiling at the same time. They named it Paciencia. Simon and I missed the first free ascent of the Japanese Direttissima by one pitch. It was a 7b in the upper part of the route. We didn’t want to risk pulling the rope down for one more attempt due to heavy rockfall. Beginning in the summer of 2004, Robert Jasper and I fought another five seasons to completely free the Japanese Direttissima, finally succeeding in 2009. I felt that Robert and I were the perfect team for Eiger free ascents. We trust each other blindly, and in addition to being a great free climber, Robert has a lot of experience in hard mixed routes like the ones you often find on the Eiger. With our passion to free the great old Eiger routes, we were also able to free the Harlin Direttissima, with the Heckmair exit, in 2010, and in 2013 we freed the Ghilini-Piola Direttissima.

Summer sports should help the tourist industry to cushion possible diminutions in Alpine winter tourism. From the commercialisation of climbing, mountaineering and hiking new legal issues emerge. How to assure both essential freedom and necessary safety tourists are seeking for m mountain envi­ ronments? How does global warming influence natural hazards? Consumer desires have changed for climatic and job situation reasons. Compensation claims for civil liabilities mcrease, but what norms do lawyers apply in the various outdoor sports? Keywords: freedom, information, law, mountaineering, safety, tourism 1 Introduction Permafrost thaw and glaciers retreat lead to increased natural hazards and conse­ quently influence tourism, local adventurism and the recreation business. Within a short time, Alpine hazards jeopardise historically safe routes, paths and trails. Cen­ tury old refuge-huts turn obsolete. The reconstruction and the maintenance of ex­ posed routes entail high expenses and steadily increased legal risks. The owners of land, public authorities and providers of routes often take high risks themselves possibly being exposed to criminal charges or compensation claims for civil liabili­ ties (cf.
