| Pamir, Hindu Kush, Karakorum, Cachemire, la vue est plutôt bouchée vers le Nord pour un biréacteur qui peine à la tâche. | ||

Merci, cher vonrichthoffen ! Cela confirme le bien -fondé de la pensée (pas la pensée unique, bien entendu !  )Qu'on me pardonne la petite digression qui suit !! Et j'aurais dû penser aux Pamirs ! Car c'est là que mon pote Robin SMITH, plus grand alpiniste de sa génération (sans exagérer .. ! ) a été entraîné dans une chute à la mort avec Sir Wlfred NOYCE . ----- --More often than not, however, past discussions of Red Peak have been overshadowed by its contents on the mysterious and tragic deaths of two British climbers, Wilfrid Noyce and Robin Smith. As Slesser once noted in a 2004 interview: Noyce and Robin, along with two Russians, Ovchinnikov and Sevastianov, had successfully climbed Garmo and were heading down an easy, but steepening, snow slope. For reasons we will never know, Smith unroped from Ovchinnikov and roped up with Noyce. It was a very strange thing and we will never discover the truth. It was a very silly accident but in many ways both were an accident waiting to happen. Both of them were confident and very carefree climbers. ----------------- ou : --------- Smith and Wilfrid Noyce were roped together descending a slushy slope overlaying ice, after a successful ascent of Peak Garmo with two of the Russians when one fell, pulling off the other. Slesser did not witness the slip or the 4,000ft fall but suggested in With Friends in High Places that the cause was either carelessness or over-confidence. Hunt was deeply affected by the deaths; Noyce was a close friend who had been first to the South Col of Everest in 1953 and this was to be his last expedition. --------------- High Endeavours. The Life And Legend Of Robin Smith Cruickshank Jimmy Canongate, 2005 First Edition, 374pp, new in new dw., Biography of Robin Smith, a young outstanding Scottish climber, who fell to his death with Wilfrid Noyce in 1962 in the Pamirs. A long overdue tribute to one of Scotland's most daring and legendary climbers., Book Ref: 30292 Que je me souvienne bien de lui, Robin ! Et Jimmy, qui a écrit le livre, était un grand nageur, et excellent rugbyman ! Merci de m'avoir permis de "revoir" Robin, ... et de penser à Jimmy ! Robin est enterré, sous la terre et les pierres, avec Noyce, dans les "Foothills of Nepal", me semble-t-il ! Il regarde vers le sommet qu'il a conquis ! Il est mort jeune, à 22 ou 23 ans ! Cela vaut la peine de penser à lui, en "time-out" par rapport aux avions ! (Message édité par sevrien le 27/04/2008 08h01) |
