    If the name Headwaters Forest Preserve does not ring a bell, you might recall Julia Butterfly Hill, who spent 738 days between 12/10/1997 and 12/18/1999 in the tree affectionately known as "Luna," to prevent Pacific Lumber Company loggers from cutting it down. Pacific Lumber had been bought by Maxxam Corp., and they were clear cutting everything in sight to pay off the bonds they sold to buy this forest. Pacific Lumber, which had been doing sustainable logging for generations, suddenly became an environmental villain due to the hostile takeover. Senator Dianne Feinstein helped put together $380 million in state and federal money to purchase Headwaters, a pristine old growth redwood forest, within the Pacific Lumber lands, east of Eureka.…

    Written in 1996 and published in 1997 Jon Krakauer - 1954-present 20th century - Modern writing with some uses of slang in the text Key Quotations: “Morality had remained a conveniently hypothetical concept, an idea to ponder in the abstract. Sooner or later the divestiture of such a privileged innocence was inevitable, but when it finally happened the show was magnified by the sheer superfluity of the carnage” (Krakauer, 283). Krakauer’s experience at Everest was more than just an experience to Everest, it was a very shocking lesson in life and death. The disaster changed him forever by destroying his innocence and it continually affected him. “I suspected that each of my teammates hoped as fervently as I that Hall had been careful to weed out clients of dubious ability, and would have the means to protect each of us from one another's shortcomings” (Krakauer 38).…

This quote proves that people who take risks, only do it if it is worth it. Basically, they know the consequences and know that it is dangerous, but they still do it.…

    In the letter, Anatoli Boukreev (Responds to Krakauer), Anatoli Boukreev comments on the topic of his decisions and actions regarding the Mount Everest expedition on May 10, 1996. He argues that he has had more than twenty years of experience in climbing high-altitude mountains, and he is able to make rational decisions without the aid of supplementary oxygen. The first issue that Boukreev addresses, is his decision to retrieve supplies from camp for others. When Boukreev encountered Scott Fischer, he suggested to him that he should head to camp IV to retrieve supplies necessary for the ascent to Mount Everest in order to assure the safety of the other climbers. During this moment, Boukreev was in a rational state-of-mind, however, he had…

    To begin with,the main safety concerns are that the Sherpas are expected to provide everything for the climbers, and provide unnecessary luxuries while trying to get them to the summit. This can be supported by the article, “Exploiting the Sherpas” by Billie Mandelbaum. Mandelbaum states, “a clear division remains between the westerners who climb everest and the Sherpas who guide them-lugging their gear and clearing a pathway up the mountain.”. Further on in the article it says, “While Sherpas continue to carry typical climbing gear, including tents and…

    When I hiked up Bishop Peak in San Luis Obispo, I enjoyed it so much I wrote it up for California Explorer (May/June 2014). Since then I’ve wondered about the other ancient volcanic plugs that make up the nine sisters, a group that starts with Morro Rock and ends at Islay Hill in the southeast corner of San Luis Obispo. I decided to trek down to the area with the idea of exploring the other morros, or at least the ones open to exploration. Morro Rock is environmentally sensitive and closed to climbing. Chumash Peak has no access, and Cerro Romauldo is used only by the National Guard.…

    The failure to rope up is literally and metaphorically an indication of distrust and doubt among clients and is a “serious violation of mountaineering protocol” (55). Roping up has been a normal occurrence for mountain climbers where one climber’s life is directly influenced by the actions of another climber. Despite these traditions, a commercial venture substitutes trust and faith among teammates for convenience and speed, indicating that profit expectations are prioritized over establishing trust and interdependence within the group of clients. The spirituality and purity of mountain climbing for the clients has been largely extinguished by the commercialization of the sport. Many of the athletes of the sport believed that “visionaries who ascended alone, without rope or hardware” (23) were the most admired within the climbing community.…

    Managing to ignore the voices in my head that tell me I’m not capable, the determination inside of me grows; I wanted to prove myself wrong. While droplets of sweat brim over the tip of my nose, aching muscles bicker in rebellion with each step. I came to a stop as my neck stretched back to examine the enormous mountain that towered over me. As the sun set behind it, an ominous silhouette stared back and cast a shadow over a trail leading into darkness. My friend’s eyes widened in wonder as I commanded, “Hike on!”…

    I have conquered numerous mountains, but I might not be able to climb another one. Back in August 2015, I and my friends took a trip to East Java as a graduation present for ourselves. There were 3 mountains in our itinerary: Mount Merapi, Mount Bromo and Mount Ijen. My father once said that a good mountain climber should have three essentials: strength, determination and humbleness. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the last one as I used to be an arrogant person that time.…
