Mount Rosa - Alps

Fri, 16 Jun 2006 01:24:14 -0700

Monte Rosa is a huge glacier covered massif with ten summits. Its highest summits, Dufourspitze (4633m), Nordend (4609m), Zumsteinspitze (4563), and Signalkuppe (4556m), are four of the five highest peaks in the Alps. Only Mont Blanc (4807m) is higher.

Monte Rosa's glaciers flow in abundance, but only on the northern flanks, where they stream toward the pastures of the Zermatt valley. The south side, in contrast, presents a steep face of rugged precipices which drop suddenly to the lush valleys below.

For share and fun!

Mount Fuji

Wed, 24 May 2006 13:13:41 -0700

Mount Fuji (富士山, Fuji-san?, IPA: [ɸɯʥisaɴ]) is the highest mountain in Japan. It straddles the boundary between the prefectures of Shizuoka and Yamanashi just west of Tokyo, from which it can be seen on a clear day. It is located near the Pacific coast of central Honshu.

Mount Fuji is a well-known symbol of Japan and is frequently depicted in art and photographs, as well as visited by sightseers and climbers.

It is thought that the first ascent was in 663 by an anonymous monk. A sacred mountain since ancient times, Mt. Fuji's summit was forbidden to women until the Meiji Era. Today, it is a popular tourist destination and common destination for mountain-climbing (see below).

Mount Blanc 4807m.a.s.l.

Tue, 23 May 2006 16:24:54 -0700

The highest mountain in Western Europe was first climbed on the 8th of August 1786 by a local crystal hunter, Jacques Balmat and a local doctor, Michel Gabriel Paccard. They claimed the prize money that Horace Benedict de Saussure had offered in 1760.

People had been trying for years but the breakthrough didn't come until the June of 1786 when Jacques Balmat was trapped out overnight on the glacier, AND SURVIVED; thereby destroying local myths and proving that a 2-day ascent was feasible.

Nowadays, in summer, their exploit is repeated by as many as 200 people a day.
The speed record is held by the Swiss P.A. Gobet. He ran from the centre of Chamonix to the summit and back in 5hr 10min !
