the tale of a back-to-back drakensberg grand traverse the drakensberg grand traverse is a well-established route in which the kwazulu-natal drakensberg escarpment is traversed, usually between sentinel car park and the bushman’s nek border post. this route is usually done in 10 to 14 days, is about 200 to 250 kms long, depending on route variation taken, and is vertically equivalent to climbing kilimanjaro (5.9 km) two to three times. the concept of a speed traverse has been around for many years. the rules for the current grand traverse record race were established in february 1999, when a team led by gavin raubenheimer completed the route in 4 days, 9 hours and 39 minutes. the current record-holders are ryno griesel and ryan sandes in a time of 1 day, 17 hours and 49 minutes, set in march 2014. while many have attempted to complete a speed traverse, very few succeed in completing the challenging route. in march 2016, while taking a leisurely stroll around the mnweni cutback, i mentioned to 15-year-old mike “hobbit” van wyngaard that i was thinking about having a go at something that had never been done before – doing two consecutive drakensberg grand traverses. i told him to take a week or so to consider whether he would like to join me. it took him about eight seconds to decide. previous next featured articles silvia mazzani summit signals: an ancient custom since ancient times people living in the highest lands used to leave a mark of their presence on the summits they had climbed in order to hunt, to hide their things, to celebrate a rite or maybe pushed by curiosity... to linger on the summit and seal our successful ascent by a click near the peak's summit signal is nowadays a widespread action, come into our habits of climbers and hikers as a manifestation of joy and satisfaction, almost a ritual. who has not experienced the spirituality of this moment and the deep harmony with the nature, feeling a close contact with the heaven? spirituality. clmbr a letter to headquarters, terri simon-jackson, acting forest supervisor, usda shasta-trinity national forest i'm asking to remove and replace with actual facts inaccurate statements contained in the recently published 2017 annual shasta ranger report: "july 26, 2017 - clear creek route, lost climber, female, 36 year old:" (and other inaccurate records). i am also asking for public apology due to psychological suffering and damage my family and i have been experiencing since the first time i got involved in this event (july 26, 2017) till present. hansw wetterhorn during the golden and the post golden age the year was 1854 and the englishman alfred wills was on honeymoon in the alps. with his wife and the chamonix guide auguste balmat he made excursions in the mont blanc region. towards the end of the holiday the twenty six year old wills decided to make a first ascent. for some reason, the choice fell on the beautiful mountain wetterhorn that literally hangs over the glacier village grindelwald in the bernese oberland. afzal baltistan, the land of highest peaks on earth baltistan covering an area of 26,000 square kilometer, comprises 5 valleys: skardu, khaplu, shigar, kharmang and rondu. the baltistan is the part of gilgit baltistan, pakistan. these valleys are very important from the mountaineering, trekking and mountain related adventure activities. the northern territory of baltistan contains four peak above 8000 meters, such as k-2 (8611-m) (second highest mountain in the world), gasherbrum-i (8068-m), broad peak (8048-m), and gaserbrum-ii (8035-m), and many other above 7000 meters peaks, such as masherbrum, gasherbrum-iv, muztagh towers, latok, baintha brakk, chogolisa, baltoro kangri, and many more. ericvola did whymper make the first ascent of the barre des ecrins or the second? for the 150th anniversary of the first ascent by edward whymper of the barre des Écrins (25th june 1864) a new theory appeared attributing it to lieutenant meusnier who would have climbed it in 1853! meusnier was one of the french army cartographers who in 1853 were in charge of mapping the briançon area. this theory is based on a digitized document published by the ign (institut géographique national) in 2012. it is a draft of the 1/40000 briançon map mentioning a ‘signal’ besides the name ‘les Écrins’, summit which is then the highest in france (until the 1860 turin treaty which sealed the annexation of savoy by france). vid pogachnik valentin slatnar -
