    JOLENE UNSOELD “Un-sold” www.sos.wa.gov/legacy who ARE we? | Washington’s Kaleidoscope Jolene addresses an anxious group of employees at Hoquiam Plywood Company in 1988 as the uncertainty over timber supplies intensifies. Kathy Quigg/The Daily World Introduction: “The Meddler” imber workers in her district were mad as hell over set- asides to protect the Northern Spotted Owl. Rush Lim- Tbaugh branded her a “feminazi.” Gun-control advocates called her a flip-flopper. It was the spring of 1994 and Con- gresswoman Jolene Unsoeld of Olympia was girding for the political fight of her life. CSPAN captured her in a bitter de- bate with abortion opponents. Dick Armey, Newt Gingrich’s sidekick, was standing tall in his armadillo-skin cowboy boots, railing against the “self-indulgent conduct” of women who had been “damned careless” with their bodies. As other Republi- cans piled on, Unsoeld’s neck reddened around her trademark pearl choker. Men just don’t get it, she shot back. “Reproductive health is at the very core of a woman’s existence.

  • Lesson 2: Meet Mount Everest
    Everest Education Expedition Curriculum Lesson 2: Meet Mount Everest Created by Montana State University Extended University and Montana NSF EPSCoR http://www.montana.edu/everest Lesson Overview: Begin to unravel the layers of Mount Everest through geography and history. Learn where Mount Everest sits in relation to the world, to Asia, and to surrounding countries. Compare Mount Everest to the highest peak in your region. Trace the routes of the first Americans, and other mountaineers of the past, who summited this peak, and plot the routes this expedition took as you learn the history of the world’s highest mountain. Objectives: Students will be able to: 1. Locate and identify Mount Everest including the two countries it straddles. 2. Locate and identify Granite Peak, the highest point in Montana (or the highest peak in your state or region). 3. Compare and contrast the geography and history of Mount Everest to Granite Peak (or the highest peak in your state or region). 4. Explain the route the first Americans took to summit Mount Everest. Vocabulary: base camp: a place used to store supplies and get ready for climbing located low on the mountain, safe from harsh weather, icefalls, avalanches and the effects of high altitude found higher on the mountain col (coal): a low point on a ridge in between two peaks, also called a “saddle” crevasse (kruh-VAS): a crack in a glacier’s surface that can be very deep and covered by snow elevation: the height of place measured from sea level glacier: a massive river of ice that moves slowly downward

  • Richard Pownall, 1927
    AAC Publications Richard Pownall, 1927 – 2016 On my first trip to the Tetons, in 1955, I met three already iconic climbers: Dick Emerson, the climbing/rescue ranger, and Willi Unsoeld and Dick Pownall, both Exum guides. I never imagined the four of us would reconnect eight years later as members of the 1963 American Mount Everest Expedition. Dick Pownall was born in West Branch, Iowa, in 1927. He climbed on local trees and windmills, and in his teens he happened to read an article about climbing mountains and thus changed his venue. The following year, thanks to his uncle, who was superintendent of Grand Teton National Park, he worked on the Tetons trail crew and met his mountaineering mentor, Paul Kenworthy. In 1947, Glen Exum offered him a job as a climbing guide and Dick made the first of some 150 ascents of the Grand, mostly while guiding. During these years, he also pioneered a few dozen first ascents, including the first complete climb of the north face of the Grand, in 1949, with Ray Garner and Art Gilkey; Dick led the crux Pendulum Pitch in the dark, and they bivouacked on top. The next year, he and Mike Brewer pulled off a major enchainment in 14 hours: Nez Perce, Cloudveil Dome, South and Middle Teton, and the Grand, a big chunk of the link-up now known as the Grand Traverse. Later that summer, he and Leigh Ortenburger made the first direct ascent of the south face of the Grand. In 1959, Dick, fellow guide Willi Unsoeld, and Pete Schoening pulled off the Cathedral Traverse: Teewinot, Mt.

  • Everest: the Mess at the Top of the World Mark Jennings October 2013
    Everest: The Mess at the Top of the World Mark Jennings October 2013 An hour above Camp IV on the Southeast Ridge of Mount Everest, Panuru Sherpa and I passed the first body. The dead climber was on his side as if napping in the snow, goose down blowing from holes in his insulated pants. Ten minutes later, we stepped around another body, her torso shrouded in a Canadian flag, an abandoned oxygen bottle holding down the flapping fabric. Trudging nose to back up the ropes that had been fixed to the steep slope, Panuru and I were wedged between strangers above us and below us. The day before, at Camp III, our team had been part of a small group. But when we woke up this morning, we were stunned to see an endless line of climbers passing near our tents. Now, bumper-to-bumper at 26,000 feet, we were forced to move at exactly the same speed as everyone else, regardless of individual strength or climbing ability. In the swirling darkness before midnight, I gazed up at the string of lights from climbers’ headlamps rising into the black sky. Above me were more than a hundred slow-moving climbers. In one rocky section, at least 20 people were attached to a tattered rope anchored by a single badly bent picket pounded into the ice. If the picket popped out, the rope would instantly snap from the weight of two dozen falling climbers, and they would all cartwheel down the face of the mountain to their deaths. Panuru, the lead Sherpa of our team, and I unclipped from the lines, swerved out onto open ice, and began soloing—a safer option for experienced mountaineers.

  • Tom Hornbein Dan Willi Unsoeld, Pionir Pendakian Rute Sulit Yang Perawan Di Everest
    Tom Hornbein dan Willi Unsoeld, Pionir Pendakian Rute Sulit yang Perawan di Everest Ketika pada 29 Mei 1953 Edmund P. Hillary (Selandia Baru) dan Tenzing Norgay (Nepal) menjadi orang-orang pertama yang bisa berdiri di puncak tertinggi dunia, Mt. Everest (8848 m), John Hunt - pimpinan Ekspedisi ketika itu - menulis dalam catatan hariannya : “Berakhirlah sudah cerita kepahlawanan di Everest.” Hunt ternyata telah menarik kesimpulan yang salah. Ratusan pendakian “heroik” tetap dilakukan manusia setelah itu. Salah satunya adalah sukses yang diperoleh oleh duo Amerika, Tom Hornbein dan Willi Unsoeld, via rute sulit West Ridge (punggungan Barat), sepuluh tahun setelah First Ascent Everest berhasil dilakukan oleh ekspedisi Inggris itu. Adalah National Geographic Society yang mensponsori mereka dalam gabungan tim bernama “The American Everest Expedition” pada pertengahan 1963. Norman Dyhrenfurth ditunjuk sebagai pimpinan ekspedisi dengan anggota tim termasuk A. Auten, Barry Bishop, Jake Breitenbach, J. Corbet, D. Dingman, D. Doody, R. Emerson, Tom Hornbein, Lute Jerstad, J. Lester, Willi Unsoeld dan Jim Whittaker. Selain itu ekspedisi ini didukung oleh lebih dari 900 porter yang membawa 29 ton makanan dan peralatan ke kaki gunung serta menghabiskan biaya hampir $400.000. Sebuah ekspedisi yang sangat besar tentunya. Mt. Everest (8848 m) Base Camp didirikan di kaki Khumbu Icefall pada 21 Mar dan rute melalui Icefall segera disiapkan setelah itu. Dalam proses itu, Jake Breitenbach gugur akibat reruntuhan serac (blok atau kolom es yang terbentuk oleh potongnan crevasses di gletser) di Icefall. Meski demikian mereka memutuskan untuk tetap melanjutkan ekspedisi. Hornbein sendiri telah mempelajari foto udara Everest yang memperlihatkan sebuah couloir (celah) kecil yang menurut pendapatnya sangat mungkin dilalui.

  • Americans on Everest, 1963 I
    • AMERICANS ON EVEREST, 1963 I AMERICANS ON EVEREST, 19631 • BY NORMAN G. DYHRENFURTH • (Eight illustrations: nos. I-8) N November of 1952, a few hundred feet above the South Col, the second Swiss attempt had to be abandoned. I remember our retreat clearly. Everest had been a terrible antagonist, but I knew then that I would have to return. Other expeditions followed: to Lhotse in 1955; an inconclusive Yeti search in 1958, and to Dhaulagiri with the Swiss in 1960. Permission for an American expedition to Everest in 1961 did not come through, and the next year had been reserved for an Indian team. I re-applied for 1963, and finally on May 10, 1961, permission was gran­ ted. Contrary to the popular beliefs that ours was the biggest and wealthiest expedition ever to set sail for the Himalaya and that American mountain­ eers can get all the financial backing simply by making a few telephone calls, it took two and a half years of full-time, all-out effort on my part to secure the necessary support of more than thr.ee hundred sponsors. It was a foregone conclusion, based on the frustrating experiences of all previous Americap expeditions, that it would be utterly hopeless to achieve my original budgetary goal of $18o,ooo for pure mountaineering. Deputy leader William E. Siri and I decided as far back as the fall _of 1.960 to develop a scientific programme which could be carried out by the men who were to go high on the mountain, rather than by a separate group of scientists.

The book, titled “A Life on the Edge: Memoirs of Everest and Beyond,” chronicles Whittaker’s business triumphs and losses, as well as, a divorce, and a passionate new love later in life. Whittaker became the first American to summit Mount Everest in 1963. May 2, 2013 http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50146047n First American to climb Everest celebrates 50-year milestone (CBS News) PORT TOWNSEND, Wash. - You might think climbing the world's tallest mountain would be enough of an achievement to satisfy anyone. But not Jim Whittaker. Fifty years ago this Wednesday, he became the first American to reach the 29,000-foot-high summit of Mount Everest. He's now 84 and still looking for new challenges. Jim Whittaker made history as the first American to reach Everest in 1963. President John F. Kennedy called him a national hero. It was a grueling, three-month, 185-mile trek uphill that allowed Jim Whittaker to make history. "There was no feeling of exhilaration," Whittaker now recalled of that moment of stepping on the top of Everest, "no feeling of, 'Boy we pulled it off.' I was just a frail human being. We were just hanging on to life." One member of his team died on the way up. Whittaker spent only 20 minutes on the summit.
