"Why's this so good?" No. 25: Nick Paumgarten's tower of terror
by Michelle Legro |
December 20, 2011
A few days ago I stepped onto an elevator, heading out for an afternoon coffee. The repairman was there, his tools spread out on the floor. Come on in, he said, pressing the "door close" button and whistling a short tweet. Somewhere above us, a whistle back, and we started to move. Hey-yo! Someone shouted. The voice was came from above, and it didn't fade away. Hey-yo! the repairman shouted back. He's up top, he said, pointing to the ceiling, where his partner was riding on the outside of the elevator. They shouted a few pleasantries back and forth. They seemed to be having fun.
At about 10am on the same day, a woman stepped into an elevator at 285 Madison Avenue. Halfway in, on the threshold where most people stop to hold the door open, the car shot up and pinned her to the roof. The two passengers were trapped with her body for over an hour.
That night I sat down again with one of the most frightening, banal, effed-up, claustrophobic, and crazy-good pieces of nonfiction I've ever read: "Up and Then Down," Nick Paumgarten's 2008 history of elevators from The New Yorker. If you've never read it, perhaps you've heard about the story, another it-will-never-happen-to-me urban legend turned reality: In the fall of 1999, Nicholas White, a production editor at Business Week, enters an elevator at the McGraw-Hill building to go out for an evening smoke and leaves it 41 hours later.
Elevators are the most horrible places imaginable about two percent of their time. For the other ninety-eight percent of the time, elevators have little sex appeal, and so do 8,000-word features on them. It's a New Yorker staple, these masterworks that reveal the sudden canonical purpose of leaf blowers, or coffee beans, or online dating, or pencil erasers. On a recent episode of "Parks and Recreation," a character uses a (fake) New Yorker article about the history of ladders to neutralize the sexual tension between coworkers. It works.
Then again, the banality of the thing is often the best challenge there is. Hey journalist, you want a good opening? Start with a man getting into an elevator alone. The elevator stops. Now go:
He occupied himself with thoughts of remaining calm and decided that he'd better not do anything drastic, because, whatever the malfunction, he thought it unwise to jostle the car, and because he wanted to be (as he thought, chuckling to himself) a model trapped employee. He hoped, once someone came to get him, to appear calm and collected. He did not want to be scolded for endangering himself or harming company property. Nor did he want to be caught smoking, should the doors suddenly open, so he didn't touch his cigarettes. He still had three, plus two Rolaids, which he worried might dehydrate him, so he left them alone. As the emergency bell rang and rang, he began to fear that it might somehow—electricity? friction? heat?—start a fire. Recently, there had been a small fire in the building, rendering the elevators unusable. The Business Week staff had walked down forty-three stories. He also began hearing unlikely oscillations in the ringing: aural hallucinations. Before long, he began to contemplate death.
It's clear that Paumgarten sat down for an extensive talk with Nicholas White, but there's hardly a word from him here: it's all in his head. This is a curious and tricky point of view for a writer. These aren't the actual thoughts of a person in this situation, there's no real panic, it's all ice cold third person, and somehow that's what chills. "He began to contemplate death." It's the kind of spectacular understatement that any good writer would love to pull off.
White's story is woven through the feature in short episodes, between the "bring sprawling New Yorker stuff" that pads out the canon of elevator lore: the elevator in free-fall, the first elevator demonstration, the elevator's effect on the skyline, the high-tech elevators in the world's tallest buildings, the strange mathematics of elevatoring (it's a science, this up and down).
But it's the psychological toll on a simple elevator rider that makes this piece so good. And the precision with which that toll is meted out. There's a detachment to the proceedings, an almost mechanical breakdown in the way Paumgarten gets to our addled hero.
He started to call out "Hello?" He tried cupping his hand to his mouth and yelled out some more. "Help! Is anybody there? I'm stuck in an elevator!" He kept at it a while.
There it is again, that frightening understatement. Could be five minutes, could be five hours.
Not a banality of evil, but perhaps fear—or rather, the possibility of fear? Yes, that's what it is. "Elevatorphobia is a kind of claustrophobia," Paumgarten writes, "and as such the fear is as much of experiencing fear—of having a panic attack in an enclosed space—as it is of the thing itself."
It's easy to think of writing itself as panic attack in an enclosed space, and the real work of writers is overcoming the fear of that panic attack. Maybe that's another reason why this is so good: it feels like Paumgarten has complete control over what is basically the mental breakdown of a man in an enclosed space.
For our man on the ground, it only got worse. After White got out of the elevator and found himself at the center of all kinds of attention, he fell apart. He shrunk from the press, he sued the building, he settled for peanuts, and he disappeared to Anguilla for two months, effectively quitting his job at the magazine.
Paumgarten reveals in his closing paragraphs that in the spring of 2008 White still didn't have steady work, living with almost ten years of grief after 41 hours of loss. He carefully keeps White's true feelings at the edge of the page, and in the end, we find out we didn't know White at all, couldn't possibly understand what he went through. It's a traumatic realization, how the elevator changes you.

Drop-Dead Gorgeous
Tastefully striking, this colorful necklace is an eye-catching, eco-friendly way to add intrigue to any outfit. Reminiscent of radiant agate and glossy ivory, each open, drop-shaped bead in this concentric statement piece is carved from sustainable tagua, commonly referred to as "vegetable ivory" for its likeness in bulk and texture.
Tagua is environmentally friendly and helps curb illegal elephant poaching, prevents deforestation, and allows local communities to make a living from the collection and processing of the seeds. All of Monica Farbiarz's tagua jewelry is handmade in a Colombian workshop that prides itself on treating workers fairly and providing the opportunity to learn life skills.
Necklace: 16"L (with additional 3"L adjustable) chain.

Monica Farbiarz
When Monica Farbiarz traveled to Colombia in 2006, she had no idea that she, a dancer, musician and yoga instructor, would fall so quickly in love with the Tagua seed, a material that would inspire a full time jewelry-designing business.
She immediately found a workshop that offered her the perfect combination of quality production and fair labor practices, and enrolled in a business class to prepare for the inevitable commerce.
By 2007, she was ready to share her creations with the world, and now she's devoted to providing women with beautiful Tagua jewelry, all while helping her workers achieve their dreams. collection

Hot answers tagged readings
The はた there is part of the same series of Japanese readings for numbers as ひとつ、ふたつ、みっつ and so on. Where the ち comes from - that I do not know. It also makes an appearance in some other common words, such as 二十日(はつか), although in a slightly mangled form.
There are readings for the tens after that as well - for instance 三十(みそ) makes an appearance in words ...
It depends on the meaning.
中 used to mean "during / in the process of" must be pronounced ちゅう (as in ジョン's post)
インストール中【ちゅう】 now installing
読込【よみこみ】中【ちゅう】 now loading
建築【けんちく】中【ちゅう】 under construction
But in other uses, such as "all throughout" or "out of (all the)", it is commonly read じゅう (although it seems that ちゅう is also an option?):
First, concurring with Axioplase: だく is for tangible things, いだく is for abstract things. (Daijisen has a usage note under 抱える that deals with this distinction.)
With regards to your second question, yes, だく can have the connotation of "sleep with" (second sense in the Daijisen definition for 抱く). It's a somewhat "nicer" way to say "sleep with" in the sense ...
It is native Japanese (和語). It is a compound of kao (顔) and hayui (映ゆい). A simplified view of the phonological development is kapopayu-ki > kaɸoɸayu-ki > kawowayu-ki > kaowayu-ki > kawayu-ki > kawayu-i > kawai-i. Other than the normal p > ɸ > w > Ø, the two major changes are 1) merge of owa > wa and yu > i. 可愛 is ateji (当て字).
Well, first, I think that うだく is archaic, as I read it:
Then, だく seems to be use for concrete situations, when you really use your hands.
いだく seems to be
a more literary reading, or
used in abstract situations, like
「理想を―・く」「不安を―・く」. This is exactly your sentence, isn't it?
Sources: on-line dictionaries ...
According to an answer to a similar question on Goo's oshiete site:
「さびしい」 is generally used in two ways (roughly equivalent to how the english "lonely" is used):
an emotional state of emptiness, isolation, or a feeling of lacking
Examples: 「さびしい正月を迎える」「ふところがさびしい」
quiet and empty of people or sounds
Example: 「さびしい山道」
These two meanings are ...
Although 並(nami), 大(dai) will works on most of the place, but others would depend on each restaurants.
For Small - 小 (shou), ミニ (mini), 半分(hanbun), 少なめ (sukuname), S (エス) ...
For Normal - 並 (nami), 普通(ふつう), 中(chuu), M (エム)...
For Big - 大 (dai), 大盛り (oomori), 多め (oome), L (エル)...
For Special Big - 1.5盛 (ittengo mori) (sukiya invented it)
For extra Big - ...
It is read as めい. "ユーザ名" is read as ユーザめい, "Skype 名" is スカイプめい.
I do not know the reason for that, but if I make a guess, this may be because gairaigo in a compound word is treated in a similar way to Sino-Japanese words.
+: 足{た}す
-: 引{ひ}く
/: 割{わ}る
*: 掛{か}ける
And you just say the terms normally in order. So your example of 3 * 4 = 12 would be 3かける4は12. Note that = becomes は, similar to how we use "is" in English. As @blutorange mentioned, you can use イコール to mean "equals," however in most situations you'll be good using は.
You learn these things quickly when listening to ...
よん is a 訓読み(kunyomi) reading of 4 and し is a 音読み(onyomi).
なな is a kunyomi reading of 7 and しち is a onyomi.
To make a long story short kunyomi is a native Japanese pronunciation and onyomi are pronunciation that were derived from classical Chinese.
In the case of numbers shi and shichi (onyomi) is used when you are counting things. For example, ichi ni ...
I only 'heard' that にっぽん was overused during WWII to encourage patriotic feelings. After Jesse Good comment I tried findind document backing up this but as I didn't found anything it's probably better not to remember this point !
Also I remembered that Japan was officialy read as にっぽん according to the Government, I haven't had time to check it yet ...
It is たいおうずみ. More generally, the suffix 済 or 済み is read as ずみ. This is an example of rendaku.
Do native Japanese know both readings for every Kanji?
As much has every Roman knew latin. Some kanji have a
large number of on-readings (consider 行: AN, GYOU, KOU, which are comonly known),
plus a large number of kun-readings (行: i(ku), okona(u), yu(ku), i(keru), kudari)
plus several "Nanori" - readings that are used in first names (行: nami, ...
Everyone has answered this really well, but I'd like to add some points that I wish someone had told me when I began learning.
The On-yomi is taken from the original Chinese reading of the kanji, and the Kun-yomi is the Japanese reading that has "adopted" the kanji, so to speak. As a general rule, if the kanji is by itself, (as in, it is not attached to ...
Japanese speakers also use the strategy you describe, guessing at the 音読み from the right side of the 漢字 (or otherwise). However, the Japanese have a larger "database" from which to sample when making their guess...
& 3. I don't think these phonetic relationships are as obvious to native speakers as to foreign adult learners. The relationships are not ...
They both mean "eat", as you no doubt already know.
食{た}べるhowever, is "eat" in the sense of "sit down and have a meal". Not strictly that, but that's more the image. It also means eat as in "sustenance", the food you eat regularly to stay alive.
食{く}う is eat in the sense of "consume", as in one animal eating another. 食う can be used for people, of course, ...
I don't think there is a "normally" appropriate way. My personal philosophy is never assume you can read someone's name.
I suppose last names are easier to make a correct (educated) guess. It seems like they more often use kun-yomi. But they could be on-yomi, or other, lesser-used kun-yomi. I have two friends whose last names are the kanji 金城. However, ...
Short answer: Both readings have the same meaning. Whether you consider かいしゅん as a valid reading of 買春 or not depends on what you count as "valid."
Some Sino-Japanese words have not only an on reading which is shown in dictionaries as the primary reading but also an alternative reading which avoids ambiguity with some other words. 買春 is such a word. ...
Due to a policy called mutualism (treat back the way you are treated), Chinese names are written in the corresponding Japanese kanji, and are pronounced with the most typical Japanese on-reading. Korean names are written in katakana that describes an approximation of the Korean pronounciation. There are some exceptions for readings that have been established ...
I have heard it used in formal (e.g. business) contexts. I have never heard it used in casual conversations among friends or family.
This is what you might expect, because Sino-Japanese words like みょうにち do tend to have a more formal feel than native Japanese words like あした or あす, when they exist alongside each other with similar meanings.
I think you are making a big miskate. As for 5X4間, you interpret it as 'five rooms by four', but it is not clear what that means, and probably that is wrong. 間 is a traditional unit for length. It is approx the long length of a tatami (about 1.8m). 5X4間 means a 5間 by 4間 rectangle.
& is not part of Japanese. It is just cited form a western language (probably English), and is just read "アンド". If you see カードを使う&電話をかける, it is most likely pronounced "...アンド...".
One important thing is that Japanese does not have the counterpart to the word and. The particles と or や do not mean and but are rather close to with. みかんとりんご is something ...
Agree with TsuyoshiIto's answer, but would like to complement the answer to Q2.
The Japanese years are called 元号 or 年号.
There is a law that states that, in official contracts, if the date is written both in 元号 and some other system, then the 元号 description overrides the other in case of contradiction or inconsistency. For this reason, in official document, ...
Verbs and い-adjectives may be inflected with different okurigana
For example, the verb 歩く may be inflected to form:
polite: 歩きます
negative: 歩かない
polite negative: 歩きません
past tense: 歩いた
past polite: 歩きました
negative past: 歩かなかった
negative past polite: 歩きませんでした
te form: 歩いて
desiderative: 歩きたい
volitional: 歩こう
polite volitional (cohortative): 歩きましょう
plain negative ...
Section 10 - "二・小・原" is "二輪・小型特殊・原付". So it means "motrocycle/small spacial veicle/moped".
Section 11 - "他" is anything except "二輪・小型特殊・原付". So it means "大型・中型・普通・大型特殊・けん引".
Section 12 - "二種" is "Class 2". It's "commercial passenger-carrying vehicle".
Section 13 first row
大型 - Large vehicle (e.g. dump truck)
中型 - Medium vehicle (e.g. truck)
普通 - ...
You are right about when to read it as た. The cases where it is read as ほか is correct, but some (mainly aged) people optionally read it as た. Similarly, 等 is read as など or とう, but some aged people read it as とう instead of など.
Basically, it is literary (and archaic), but there are some situations when it is still appropriate to use it in a modern context.
In the sense of "the coming [time or event]" e.g. 来【きた】る土曜日 = "the coming Saturday"
Related to the above, in the form 来【きた】るべき, meaning "the coming [thing]", "the [thing] that is sure to come", e.g. the title of Tezuka Osamu's ...
Some people say that goemon(五右衛門), iemon(伊右衛門) are pronounced like that since it's hard to pronounce 2 or 3 continuous vowel sounds, as it supposed to read as "gouemon" (ごうゑもん) / "iuemon"(いうゑもん) per syllable.
It happens in sentences where the verb acts kind of like an adjective. I mean, not exactly but here is an example:
In English you might say "The person I met yesterday" which turns into "昨日会った人" (きのうあったひと) in Japanese or "The banana I ate yesterday" => "昨日食べたバナナ"。I think this is called noun phrase in English.
The important thing about this is that it's ...
It can be either, and if there are no furigana, there is no way to be 100% certain. However, certain tendencies can be identified.
If 魂 is used on its own with no special context, it will usually be たましい. But there are many situations where 魂 is used as "jargon" with a specific meaning. In these cases, using the pronunciation こん helps to distinguish the ...

Ashlea Potts always makes sure fruits and vegetables are on her shopping list.
Fruits and vegetables are packed with antioxidants that can boost the body's immune system. But a new study finds there are some things anti-oxidants can't do.
Harvard researchers followed more than 5,000 people over 14 years, tracking the food they ate. They found many got their antioxidants through coffee and tea.
Doctors say eating fruits and vegetables is still the best source of antioxidants and that getting plenty of those foods reduces the risk of obesity, heart disease and hypertension.
At least half of Ashlea's diet is fruits and vegetables. She dances and acts so she says eating right is not only good for her health but for her work.
Broccoli, spinach, carrots, berries and apricots are all foods rich in antioxidants.

NetworkPlay Media Pvt Ltd announced today that it has been selected as a Finalist for Red Herring's Top 100 Asia award, a prestigious list honoring the year's most promising private technology ventures from the Asian business region.
The Red Herring editorial team selected the most innovative companies from a pool of hundreds from across Asia. The nominees are evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, quality of management, execution of strategy, and integration into their respective industries.
This unique assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the actual track record and standing of a company, which allows Red Herring to see past the "buzz" and make the list a valuable instrument for discovering and advocating the greatest business opportunities in the industry.
"This year was very rewarding," said Alex Vieux, publisher and Chairman of Red Herring. "The global economic situation has abated and there are many great companies producing really innovative and amazing products. We had a very difficult time narrowing the pool and selecting the finalists. NetworkPlay shows great promise therefore deserves to be among the Finalists.

During the several months leading up to the announcement, hundreds of companies in the telecommunications, security, Web 2.0, software, hardware, biotech, mobile and other industries completed their submissions to qualify for the award.

SAO PAULO -- Eike Batista is likely to focus on two of the companies in his stricken industrial group to generate enough cash to help reorganize the firms that are in financial dire straits, according to a person familiar with the group.
MPX is emerging as one of the main firms on which creditors are betting their hopes, as it is one of the few in the EBX Group that is operating and generating cash. Germany's EON owns a 36.2% stake in the firm.
MMX is also seen as a strategic asset, largely for the port under construction in the south of Rio de Janeiro state, said the person.
Mr. Batista declined a request for an interview.
Both MPX and MMX are in a position to attract new investors, the person said, although this is a difficult moment as the EBX Group is caught up in a whirlwind of bad news.
Meanwhile, shares and bonds in OGX are trading at levels considered to be distressed. The person said that OGX will essentially have to be reinvented, perhaps starting again with new blocks that it recently acquired at an auction, and that is reflected in the rock bottom prices for its shares and bonds.
Because the bonds aren't due for several years, OGX isn't in a hurry to restructure, unless it wants to raise fresh capital to be able to develop new fields, the person said. For that to happen, the existing debts will have to be renegotiated, the person said.
Closely linked to OGX is the group's shipyard and oil platform leasing firm, OSX. OGX recently canceled orders for five oil platforms with OSX. The person said that OSX will now likely shut down the shipyard and focus on the leasing business; the debts it has are mostly related to platforms under construction, and so won't have to be renegotiated.
LLX Logistica, which is building a huge port in the north of Rio de Janeiro state, is in a "more complicated" position, as it still requires fresh capital expenditures to continue with construction, but EBX is no longer in a position to provide finance, the person said.
There are global infrastructure funds that might be interested in investing, but the timing makes it difficult to strike a deal, he said.

Noémie Beaulieu | http://behance.net/noemiebeaulieu
"I designed three pieces to promote the 2009-2010 season of the Théâtre de la Bordée: the season's brochure, a pamphlet/flyer and a play's poster. I wanted to create a visual that would stand out among Quebec's three other major theaters. The design had to appeal to La Bordée's current clients (mostly mid-aged ladies) and also attract younger ones (18-30). I picked some daring, vivid colours that really catches one's eye and I balanced their impact by placing the text in a more conventional way. I used some drop caps to create more impact and add sophistication to the whole look."

Doing his best Great Gatsby impersonation, Simon Cowell was spotted going old school in a classic car in Beverly Hills on Wednesday.
Known for driving a plethora of high-end wheels like Rolls Royces and a Bugatti Veyron, you won't see this "X Factor" judge walking off anywhere.
Maybe he should just mount a machine flare gun to it so that he can get a little more attention.
Only a Grandpa would drive a car like that. The only people you see at car shows with cars that old are in their 70's. #toolmobile
People like Simon Cowell, who makes everyone else constantly aware of how great HE THINKS he is, are so very boring. NEXT! The worst part of it all is that he thinks he has some kind of standing here, across the Atlantic Ocean, when he isn't even an American. He's just leeching-off America's greatness to enrich and enhance only himself. So, go away, Simon Cowell!
I have a little more respect for him... very nice ford.. looks like a ls7 motor too... even better..
I bet Jay lent him that one. Great ride! And yes, it is a classic California hot rod! Something about "when in Rome do as the Romans do..." I would.

jtostenr | Route Climbed: Dissapointment Cleaver Date Climbed: July 24, 2005 | |
Three of us left at about midnight, so we ended up dealing with the RMI people all the way up. The weather was perfect this weekend and made this climb very enjoyable. We hit the summit at about 7AM, as we were taking it pretty easy. We headed back to camp for a nap and some food. The hike out treated us with visits from a marmot and quite a few friendly deer. The flowers were amazing. Looking forward to next year, maybe we'll try the Ingraham Direct. | ||

fat_squirrel | Route Climbed: Emmons Glacier Date Climbed: July 17th, 2005 | |
After an unnsuccesful summit attempt the day before (high winds at 12.5K), we left Emmons Flats among some 10-20 other teams at 1:30AM. Despite frequent traffic jams, we made good progress and reached the summit near 7:30AM. The most interesting obstacle of the route was the bergschrund near 13.5K. I suspect that the kick-step ladder-bridge would be gone within the next day or two, which would make for a long traverse over the saddle to the north from the established route. It was quite windy near the summit, so we opted to stay on snow (rime ice) and head southwest directly into the crater rather than for the summit hill. Just over the crest, large sections of warm, steaming soil were exposed and there was not wind, making for a great place to make some miso soup! We walked over to the summit, met some friends who ascended the DC route, took some pics, walked over to the summit register, packed up and headed down shortly after 10:00AM. Overall, a great climb and a great mountain. Would do it again any time! | ||

Guilty | Route Climbed: Day hike from Paradise (via D.C.) to top and back. Date Climbed: July15, 2005 | |
The weather was sunny when I started late at 8am. After reaching Camp Muir, I was thinking of turning around with the high winds and storm clouds moving in. I decided to go until I felt it was to dangerous to climb, or the altitude gets to me. Towards the last 1/2 mile was the slowest, storm clouds rushing by so fast. The only way I was able to stay on my feet is having my ice axe stuck deep in the snow and attach to my harness. The last 100 yards was worst, I had crawl up to the summit ridge. Well, it took a long 7 hours to the summit. On the descent was worst, I felt the mountain wanted me now. It got worst. Finally the wind let up, and it started to snow. Then it was white-out conditions. It just became very bad condition to climb in. At Ingraham Flats two ranger where waiting for me in there tent. They where looking for another climber who climbs a lot without a solo permit. I'm glad I had mine. I hike the rest with one of the cute women ranger down to Paradise arriving at 7pm. Total time 11 hours. This is something I wouldn't do unless I had the experience from many years of mountain climbing in bad conditons. This is my third summit. | ||

Rob O. and I packed our skis all the way to the summit, but the snow never softened up enough and we downclimbed all the way back to the Corridor before we could ski. And the skiing was terrible! death crust over slush. We saw the helicopters flying by - unknown to us at the time a rescue was taking place on the south side. | ||

Our 5 man rope team (all but 1 had never done any mountianeering) made summit in 5 hours. As the first team up that day we had the pleasure of breaking trail and even had to re-route up a 15 foot near vertical face due to a crevasse. What a great day!!! | ||

Was part of Old Ickabod's team. His summit log is posted with detail a couple before mine. It was a much rougher day than I anticipated and very humling with the crevasse incident. Being dragged towards the crevasse was quite a rush, Wahoo!!! Our team did a good job pulling it together and reaching the summit. Thanks to my buddies for a great experience. | ||

Our enthusiasm was curbed somewhat by the news that a fellow climber had died on our planned ascent route (Gib Ledges). Rest in peace Mike, and may your friends and family find comfort. We decided to do Ingraham instead. We found the going not technically difficult and route-finding was not a problem. However, it was physically strenuous (it is a big mountain). We reached the rim just after sun-rise expecting to be the only ones there, but a group of hardy Czechs were camped out in the crater! Thanks to my partners Al and Pat, with extra thanks to Ed, who did most of the planning and led the entire climb. | ||

Spectacular feeling to reach the summit! As I led through the Ingraham Icefall, a snowbridge I was crossing collapsed and I plunged 30 feet before being arrested by my two team members (dragging one of them 10 feet toward the crevasse). I sustained no physical injuries, but I was rocked emotionally. They hauled me up with spectacular leadership from the RMI Guides that came up behind us. My nerves were shot, but my commitment to the team was strong. We continued cautiously with Kevin Wright leading and we summited after 9 hours. We retraced our steps from 13,000 to Camp Muir in a whiteout. 13 hours roundtrip with two spectacular teammates. It was a true life changing experience, but I learned a lot on the trip. Rainier is now a huge part of my life. Special thanks to Kenny Hays who self arrested the moment he saw me disappear into the crevasse and to Kevin Wright for setting the anchor and assisting in the rescue just as quick! | ||

We successfully summitted; however, we had a couple near disasters including one crevasse rescue. Please see the trip report for details, and if you're considering this route this year, be hyper-vigilant and always ready for a crevasse rescue! | ||

Began at 1am from Muir under perfect conditions. Light snow at 3am turned to full blown blizzard conditions at about 5am (13,200') so we had to turn back. ID route was in great shape but is expected to fall apart in the next couple of weeks. | ||

mt_daydream | Route Climbed: Gibraltar ledges Date Climbed: May 26-27, 2005 | |
Andreas (from Switzerland) and I climbed the Gibraltar ledges on Friday. Had the mountain all to overselves with just one other team going up the ID route. We got lost below the Gib rock on the way up and wasted more than 1.5 hrs traversing some 55 degree snow and ice (and traversing all that hard parts back:). Got back on route and finished the technical part under perfect conditions. Andreas was feeling tired and hence we decided to turn back once we could access the gentle upper slopes. The ID route was way on the right side and there were a lot of crevasses in between. So we decided to go up all the way to the crater. At around 13,500 ft, we saw the wands on the ID route to our right, and traversed the glacier towards them. Headed down after a brief rest. ID was in great shape. I got fried by the sun (and altitude) on the way down and was quite happy to get to Camp Muir. Overall, a fun route under great conditions! | ||

other than having to dig into 45 degree slope to camp before the summit, it's pretty similar to Disappointment Cleaver route (except a bit more technical and a few more Ice Falls to cross under. | ||
