Taku Towers 2014 Juneau Alaska







In late August 2014, Jared Carlson and myself took a trip to The Taku Towers. We planned to try and climb a line called The Magic Line (IV 5.9 A1) that ascends up the southeast face of the Northern Taku Tower. The line was first climbed by Michael Wolf and Stefan Ricci back in 2000, since then it most likely has not seen another ascent. Our tip was quite interesting... route finding, some big loose blocks, run out, mossy and grassy cracks and falling rocks in the distance... but the rock quality was awesome the setting was surreal, being located on the Juneau Ice Field 15 miles from the nearest person. The Taku Towers are two majestic spires of granite that protrude from the barren wasteland of ice surrounding them. The wall is about nine pitches and we were only able to ascend five before we ran out of time. Next summer we are going back stronger, faster, and ready with a mindset of what to expect... Or will bring bivi gear... haha. But check out the little vid about the adventure.

Henry Russell, los inicios del pirineísmo. parte 01






Henry Russell fue uno de los grandes pirineístas del siglo XIX. Dedicó gran parte de su vida al conocimiento inagotable de las altas montañas que se extienden a ambos lados de la cordillera. Impregnado del espíritu romántico de su tiempo, buscó la plenitud en la inmensidad de los paisajes pirenaicos y escribió después sobre su experiencia pionera en unas cumbres por aquellos días casi vírgenes y aún desconocidas del gran público. Vivió la montaña con la pasión de un enamorado y con el recogimiento franciscano de un místico. En la soledad y la belleza de los espacios agrestes de los Pirineos, persiguió una elevación espiritual que al descubrimiento de lo nuevo añadía un deseo casi panteísta de fundirse con la naturaleza en su estado más puro y genuino. En el esfuerzo de las largas caminatas, supo apreciar con sensibilidad exquisita toda la poesía que atesoran las piedras, las nieves, las aguas y los bosques de las hermosas montañas pirenaicas.

VELOCITY





In ice climbing you have to find your own velocity - it's fundamental to find the right balance between waiting and observing and then leaping into action. Ephemeral ice lines will often be climbable on very few days - sometimes just one day..."
