#mountaineering — Public Fediverse posts

With the Matterhorn so close by, the Ober Gabelhorn (4063m) is probably a bit underappreciated, so perfect for a bit of Mountain-Monday-spotlighting.

Came across this wonderful image from Arctic photographer, Martin Hartley, which shows me skiing up from base camp on Klyutchevskoy Sopka. The mountain had started erupting before we arrived and the volcanic ash on the snow gave the terrain an almost lunar look.

Reading discussions about yesterday's Grossglockner news (about the Austrian whose girlfriend died of hypothermia close to the peak of Grossglockner in january and who has now been charged with grossly negligent homicide) I think that maybe we have to remind people that:

- It's a 3798 m mountain (12 460 feet). It's dangerous in a windy winter night, but it's not the Mount Everest death zone when it comes to height and oxygen and the risk of high altitude sickness. Don't know why people would bring up Everest as a comparison.

- It's absolutely not relevant what the law says in other countries or what the law "typically" says in someone's opinion. It's only Austrian law that matters here.

- Just because other people were murdered in the mountains doesn't mean that was the case here. The case was investigated and the authorities decided to indict him for grossly negligent homicide so they don't think there was an intention behind it.

"He always told his own son that if he were to climb, he’d climb as an athlete, not a guide. If Nima was going to risk it all, he would risk it for his own dreams." —Gloria Liu for National Geographic.

Corner Pass in the Injasuthi area of the Drakensberg. This very rocky pass has some risky, non-beginner scrambles in it.

As I was negotiating the last of the scrambles (also the crux of the pass) a rock was dislodged above me. I tried to duck as deep as possible into the rock section I was on, but I heard it whoosh past my head. It bounced on top of my backpack, which I was wearing at the time, and then continued further down the pass.

Visiting my hometown is always a pleasure, and makes me feel that I need to climb all those #mountains again and again 🤠

It's early days, but as someone who wants to #mountaineer one day, I was fascinated.

Genus #Blautia, a common #gut #bacteria studied for other reasons (increased cognitive development in infants & lower risk of #obesity & #diabetes in adults), can also possibly reduce damage caused by #AltitudeSickness

I love wikipedia pages with embedded in-jokes. I found a mountain page where only failed ascents are listed, and only amusing failures are detailed. No mention of successful ascents, not even the first. And it's only funny if you know why. (No link because some humourless pedant might edit it.)
