How hard is it to climb Mount Everest? Tim Mosedale, a Himalayan expedition leader and four-times Everest summiteer, believes that despite restrictions being anathema to the spirit of the great outdoors, Everest does need regulating. "There are a number of things the Nepalese government are talking about," says Mosedale, "and I agree with the limitations on age." "Younger and younger climbers are trying to break records. But if that carries on, eventually they're going to have to bring a very small coffin down off the mountain. Because whose decision was it to try to beat the record; the parent's or the child's? There are some disabled climbers who are much more proficient, confident and independent than able-bodied mountaineers. Tim Mosedale Mosedale also agrees with the proposed restrictions on the elderly who, battling increased fragility and limited reactions, are potential liabilities for fellow climbers and guides alike. Another of the proposed rules will restrict prospective climbers based on their levels of experience.

Ice Climbing in Huaraz, Peru - The Adventure Junkies Peru’s Cordillera Blanca is famous for being home to world class hiking and mountain climbing. It’s also a great place learn how to ice climb. Amanda and I had recently gone rock climbing in Ecuador and always wanted to try the ice version of the sport but we had imagined it would take long hours of training and technical know-how. It turns out, that’s not the case at all. You just need the equipment, a guide and determination. After finishing the Santa Cruz trek we were ready for another mountain adventure. FREE BONUS! After a two hour bumpy dirt road drive we reached the refuge and the National Park Huarascan checkpoint. The glacier is 30 meters (100ft) of solid ice that has a semi frozen pond below. The guides ran up the slopes to set the lines while we put on our boots, helmet, and harnesses. Amanda decided to go first. But she hadn’t been 100% the last days and, together with the high altitude, she didn’t feel good. Then it was my turn. I struck the ice with one axe, then another.

Accueil jeux en ligne gratuits de géographie Himalaja - Home Alex Honnold Climbs Yosemite's El Capitan Without a Rope YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA—Renowned rock climber Alex Honnold on Saturday became the first person to scale the iconic nearly 3,000-foot granite wall known as El Capitan without using ropes or other safety gear, completing what may be the greatest feat of pure rock climbing in the history of the sport. He ascended the peak in 3 hours, 56 minutes, taking the final moderate pitch at a near run. At 9:28 a.m. PDT, under a blue sky and few wisps of cloud, he pulled his body over the rocky lip of summit and stood on a sandy ledge the size of a child’s bedroom. Honnold began his historic rope-less climb—a style known as “free soloing”—in the pink light of dawn at 5:32 a.m. He had spent the night in the customized van that serves as his mobile base camp, risen in the dark, dressed in his favorite red t-shirt and cutoff nylon pants, and eaten his standard breakfast of oats, flax, chia seeds, and blueberries, before driving to El Capitan Meadow. What’s my Dawn Wall?
