💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🎒🏞️ The Smithsonian traces backpack #design from a two-million-year-old practice to Ötzi’s hazel-and-board frame around 3300 BCE, then follows improvements through a #CivilWar cavalry officer’s patented canvas-and-metal pack, a #Duluth #canoe-hauling design, #aluminum-frame #mountaineering models, and the nylon #JanSport that made the #backpack a school staple. Roughly 450 million are sold annually.

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.

Six action-packed days in the mountains! Overcrowded mountain huts, little sleep, physical exertion at over 3000 metres — it's an incredible experience! Why? Because sunrises in the mountains are magical, I was able to climb a 4000-metre peak again, make new friends and push my own limits. I'm tired, but I would be ready to get going again right away!
But it's raining today... 😉

CW: climbing accident (fatalities)
Wow. Really bad climbing accident out in Washington at the North Early Winters Spire, three people died when a rappel anchor failed and they all fell down a steep couloir. On the face of it, strikingly similar to the infamous Sharkfin Tower tragedy back in 2005 which also killed three people.

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
