YOUR LOCAL NEWSWIRE // TALK OF THE TOWN
NH TEST PIECE VIDEO STEVE HOUSE
Steve House visited the Northeast last winter, soloing two classic ice climbs on New Hampshire’s Cathedral Ledge — Repentance and Remission. We talked with Steve about the Northeast, Repentance and Remis- sion, his fall, and what has inspired him as a climber. The video was filmed by Jim Surette of Granite Films and you can find the full interview video on our website.
“I did them both at the same time, and I actually don’t remember who I told, if anyone. I actually don’t think I told anyone, it just kind of came out as there were obvi- ously other people involved, such as Jim Surette doing the filming. Word seemed to get out pretty quickly. I didn’t think that the local climbing community would react so strongly to the ascents.”Read More...
RESCUE ABROAD Louis Rousseau
On July 4th, with warnings of bad weather, Quebec alpinist Louis Rousseau, along with several other climbers, assisted in the rescue of a Pakistani climbing porter left for dead by a Japanese expedition he was assisting. Experiencing severe altitude sickness while gaining elevation, the porter fell ill and began bleeding from his nose and mouth.
Italian climber Giuseppe Pompili reported from his blog that the porter “was helped down from 5900 meters by three por- ters and a Sherpa of Kobler’s Swiss team on July 4th.” He was unable to walk more than twenty steps without stopping. Once news of the rescue hit base camp, Louis Rousseau and a number of other climbers immediately went to assist the group helping the porter down. The group took turns slowly lowering the porter through the heavily crevassed and glaci- ated terrain until they reached base camp at 4 pm. Once they arrived, they set up a medical tent, equipped with a hyper- baric chamber. Read More...
