First ascensionist of Gasherbrum I[edit]
Some web sites give Kaufman, some Kauffman. I couldn't find a definitive spelling. Gdr 15:28, 2004 Jul 7 (UTC)
It's Kauffman with double FF. Check http://www.billbuxton.com/climbing.html#kauffman for a review from a befriended mountaineering-historian, or https://www.worldsorts.com/Portals/0/%5Cimages%5Cbooks%5C9780898863734_large.jpg for an image of a classic that he wrote on the 1939 Wiessner K2 expedition. [And, I've checked my own shelves as I have several copies of this book] Qwrk (talk) 22:55, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
China vs Tibet?[edit]
This page seems to be inconsistent about the use of China or Tibet... any ideas how to resolve this? (who are you?)
- It really should be Tibet. While Tibet is not officially a country but a (disputed?) region of China, no one that I ever talk to when referring to mountains straddling the Nepal/Tibet border use China as the location. RedWolf 05:28, Feb 2, 2005 (UTC)
Agreed! I will change it. Ok?
- Agreed. And as nobody disagreed since 2005, I now just did it. (Nov, 30, 2007)
Another excellent list - I trust someone is thinking of nominating this on Wikipedia:Featured list candidates? All it needs are some references. -- ALoan (Talk) 17:24, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
Death rates[edit]
I think the "death rates" are a bit misleading. You'd think it would be a climbers chance of dying while attempting the summit, but it appears to actually be the ratio of deaths to successful ascents. -- Scott eiπ 10:33, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- The ratios given are a pretty standard way of measuring the death rate, although you are correct that one could (in principle) instead give the ratio of deaths to attempts. One problem is that the number of attempts is much harder to quantify (what counts?) and obtain (who keeps careful track?).
Seriously, that has got to be the dumbest, most useless statistic I have ever seen. If it is "standard" in the climbing world, then it should be changed there too. It means absolutely nothing. Number of deaths is interesting, but the death rate should be removed unless you can change it to deaths per attempt. This information should be relatively easy to get as climbs up these high mountains are carefully monitored by the governments of these countries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 23:21, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
I reverted some recent edits changing locations to from Pakistan or Pakistan/China to India. These peaks are all under the control of Pakistan, and the claim by India is already included in the footnote. See e.g. the discussion at Talk:K2. -- Spireguy 02:50, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
wikipedia is not bound by the claims made by India
why dont you go and edit the title of Arunachal Pardesh to south Tibet
or Jammu and Kashmir to Indian Occupied Kashmir--Hussain (talk) 08:43, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
- Your rhetorical questions above indicate exactly why "Karakoram" has been adopted here, so as to try to keep this article relating to mountaineering from continuing to be an ongoing forum for political edit wars that should be limited to other articles in which politics is relevant (Pakistan, India, Karakoram). See "Karakoram/Pakistan" section below for previous discussions of this issue. I don't necessarily debate the political point, and I'd personally just as soon see references here to "China" changed to "Tibet", but these really are issues to be resolved elsewhere. Steveozone (talk) 02:17, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
- Here's Encyclopaedia Britannica on K2: "the world's second highest peak (28,251 feet [8,611 metres]), second only to Mount Everest. K2 is located in the Karakoram Range and lies partly in the Uygur Autonomous Region of Xinjiang of China and partly in the Northern Areas, the portion of the disputed Kashmir region under the administration of Pakistan." In actuality, the portion controlled by China, the Trans Karakoram Tract was ceded by Pakistan to China in 1963, an act that was (and still is) not recognized by India. There were rumors then (and unabated since) that the tract was ceded under duress. China had just won the "India-China War" of 1962, and Pakistan was scared. I'm sure I can dig up plenty of sources for that. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 05:09, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
- And here's the MSN Encarta Dictionary: "K2 [ kày t ] second highest mountain in the world. It is situated in the Karakorum Range in the western part of the Himalayan system on the border between China and the disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Height: 8,611 m (28,251 ft)" Both obviously mention the dispute. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 05:35, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

- I actually agree with you, Fowler (and you, too, Fowler), I just don't see the relevance here in this particular article. There have unfortunately been numerous persistent long-term edit wars in a broad swath of articles, relating to political jurisdiction over specific mountains, which has in turn caused unnecessary instability in this and other "mountaineering" articles. The question as I see it is not reliability of sources, or NPOV, or creating an article with rich detail. The question should be whether it is helpful or informative to discuss these military/political disputes in an article about mountaineering, or whether it is better to work on fair and sourced explanations of those political disputes in other articles in which they are more relevant. I don't see how this political history is pertinent in an article that documents mountaineering expeditions, particularly where it is complex and not well-suited to summarizing in a word or two in a table. Steveozone (talk) 17:29, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Karakoram is no country to be location. Its funny all peaks lying in side Pakistan are labelled as Karakoram, while the others are labelled by respective countries. What does this suppose to mean? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 04:00, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
- It is irrelevant to this article that how Pakistan/china got hold of the territory where K2 is located, and why india claim that territory to be its, what is relevant is that you need a Pakistani/Chinese passport to climb on k2, dont tell me last time you climbed it you had a "Karakorum" passport !
And obviously i dont need sources to prove that New Delhi is located in India ! or that k2 is located in Pak-China border. See Google earth for more info. الله أكبرMohammad Adil 19:24, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
well we either have locations of all the mountains on the list to their respective ranges or all need to mention the countries they are in .......If any body needs to go to k2 for example can any of the karakoram pushers please guide me where to get the karakorum visa from. Reverting the edits....22.214.171.124 (talk) 06:16, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
Vladislav Terzyul[edit]
In this article it is written: he succeeded in climbing all fourteen eight-thousanders in the world so why he is not listed in section Climbers who have reached the summit of all eight-thousanders in Eight-thousander ? More, Italian Wiki has 15 people, who have reached the summit of all eight-thousanders. Who is right ? pjahr 06:30, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- It appears unclear but Everestnews.com has him succeeding on 13 eight-thousanders and that's already counting Makalu where he died. Looks to me like some of these websites have adjusted info to make it look like he did all 14. That's one thing we have to be careful about in this article, some of these climbers have come pretty close (within feet) of summits and even though they have not officially summited them they will still claim to have done so. JRWalko 02:41, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- The information on Everestnews.com is clearly out of date. And they actually write "Vladislav Terzyul (maybe 14!) more later". More recent information here http://www.terzyul.info/ and here http://www.terzyul.info/8000_e.htm. This information is easy to trace and it seems to coincide with given here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladislav_Terzyul - which also claims that Vladislav did all 14. Therefore if there are no objections - I propose to add Vladislav Terzyul to the list.

Why is George Band's nationality given as British, but Joe Brown's and Alan Hinkes' as English? They should all be listed as British - even if any of them have strong personal views on the subject, England is not an independent country while the UK is. 184.108.40.206 01:53, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- I put those flags in because the article on one says he was an "English" mountaineer while the article on the other says he was a "British" mountaineer. I just figured the people who watch over their articles were better at determining what they're national identity was.JRWalko 03:01, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Visit this page for more and exact stats. You are allowed to take some of them for wikipedia. Questions? This is my german page for discussions (you can write in english, I hope I can understand most of it ;-)) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 19:56, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
When were the numbers on this page last updated? The number of ascents (at least of Everest) does not match the source at 8000ers.com, the number of ascents and deaths should have a "as of" date associated with them. Everest is at over 4000 ascents now. W. Mazur (talk) 06:36, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but Tibet is not a country, whit all the respect that i have for de Dalai Lama and all. Tibet is now a region of China and the information must be changed. Some one disagree? Rakela 21:00, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Peter Schoening[edit]
Listed as a first ascender of Gasherbrum I, but with no link to article about him. The name should be changed to "Pete Schoening" and linked to the article about him. He is very well known for "The Belay" and the story is related in the Pete Schoening page.220.127.116.11 (talk) 00:54, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Sorry for all the pointless edits. I was trying to remove vandalism by 22.214.171.124 and I screwed it up. I'm new at this. I think it's back exactly how it was, though.Zeugmazwang (talk) 01:24, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
Wielicki: solo climb??[edit]
The Jean-Christophe LaFaille-article says:
- In December 2004 he made a solo ascent of Shisha Pangma. It was intended to be the first winter ascent of the mountain, and the first winter solo of any 8000m peak, (...)
How then can Wielicki have made a solo climb onto Lhotse in the winter of 1988? Or was he the only one (of several) to reach the summit? Or else, who were the other climbers with him? --Ibn Battuta (talk) 06:42, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
He was the only one of several climbers to reach the summit; it was not a true solo climb. See the AAJ article. -- Spireguy (talk) 16:42, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
I compiled a list by prominence of the 14 mountains. It seems interesting, particularly in indicating that Lhotse is the only non-Ultra among them.
|Mount Everest
|8,848 m
|Nanga Parbat
|4,608 m
|4,017 m
|3,922 m
|3,357 m
|3,092 m
|2,984 m
|2,897 m
|2,386 m
|Cho Oyu
|2,340 m
|Gasherbrum I
|2,155 m
|Broad Peak
|1,701 m
|Gasherbrum II
|1,523 m
|610 m
I don't know if it merits adding to the article though (or adding a separate column to the main sortable table). --David Edgar (talk) 16:09, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
First ascent sorting[edit]
If you choose to sort the list by First Ascent date, you get July, then June, then May, because that's how they are alphabetically. This is a really daft sort. I don't want to unilaterally add dates (most likely) in the iso format, yyyy-mm-dd so the column sorts on year but it's currently very difficult to see which were climbed first and which last. As it is, it reads like Nanga Parbat (July 3rd 1953) was first and Cho Oyu last (October 19th 1954), which isn't true for either of them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 19:59, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
"First recorded ascent"?[edit]
I would prefer to leave "first ascent" instead of "first recorded ascent" for the Annapurna climb. This has been discussed before elsewhere, where I think the consensus was to leave it as "first ascent" for highly technical peaks like Annapurna. I've never seen a source leave open the possibility that Annapurna was climbed before 1950. -- Spireguy (talk) 01:15, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
Ralf Dujmovits (GER)[edit]
Reported to have summited Lhotse May 20, 2009 [1] which would be his 14th, completing the list. I've not edited the page as yet, but posting here pending additional confirmation. Steveozone (talk) 17:06, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Regarding recent changes to K2, Broad Peak, and Gasherbrum, the loss of the term "Karakoram" in the table has, I believe, made the table less informative. The Karakoram is on the border between Pakistan and China, as noted in the reference cited; however, there have been ascents from the Chinese side. Indeed, K2 apparently has no native name from the Pakistan side; the well-known local name "Choguri" was given to it by locals on the China side of the present national border. K2 has been climbed from China, since 1982. See [2]. Therefore, in light of the above, it is not entirely accurate to locate these peaks in Pakistan, and I would suggest that the more informative way to describe them is to locate them in "the Karakoram" and then further discuss the Karakoram here or elsewhere to provide national references, as appropriate. Steveozone (talk) 06:10, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
- Agreed. I will revert the changes. Viewfinder (talk) 08:31, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Putting "India" into the infobox based on asserted facts relating to border disputes and nationalist agendas from one or more peoples in the region also distracts from the topic here, which is climbers and mountaineering, and not the local politics. Even acknowledging that many mountaineers who visit these peaks do care about the local politics, nevertheless that discussion is much better held in the articles concerning specific mountains or locations, than by changing labels in the infobox here.
As I believe that the identification of countries or geographic names in this article serves only to enable readers to understand the geographic location of the peaks mentioned, I would propose that the wikified term "Karakoram" be used for those peaks located there, and those who feel the need to clarify who governs or should govern there can edit that article, which will provide further information to readers who are looking for that information. Steveozone (talk) 02:10, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
- Disagree. The locations should be changed to Pakistan or China/Pakistan depending on the peek so all locations are geopolitical entities. By stating the location as a mountain range, the other peeks should also be changed to whichever mountain range they are located in. Wikipedia, being an encyclopedia, is not a mountaineering guide book, therefore the location should be by country or another column should be added to indicate the Mountain range for all peeks. Additionally, the Karokoram region is located in specific countries and is not an independent nation as the article suggests. Furthermore, the argument that Pakistanis have no native name for K2 does not mean that K2 is not located in Pakistan as Steveozone suggests. Therefore I suggest reverting Karokoram back to Pakistan, or Pakistan/China if that mountain is accessible from both sides. Dominating international view is that these peeks are located in Pakistan and Pakistan has governance over them. The fact that the Pakistani military is actively involved in rescuing mountaineers trapped in these ranges supports my argument. By stating the location by country and not a mix of countries plus mountain ranges will add uniformity to this article and make it clear to non-expert readers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Isfet (talk • contribs) 22:54, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
- Disagree.I believe that as K2 is shared by Pakistan as well as china so the location name should be Pakistan/China and not the mountain range in which the mountain exists. If its location has to be catagorized as per the mountain range it is located in then all other peaks should be catagorized in the same manner. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Corrector123 (talk • contribs) 09:31, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
- Why inventing new names whenthe region already have a name. Karakorum was a capital of early mongols, did you know that ? and it is located in mongolia. Simply putting Pakistan/China is a simplest solution. As a matter of fact, you need a pakistani/chines passport to climb k2. Then there is no point to give undue weightage to apparently balance the view in the light of india's disputed claims. In fact i see no point in even furthering this discussion its point less to discuss whether to give it a wikified name "Karakorum". Going this way i think we will have to give Gaza, Jerusalem and Cyprus a new wikified name !
الله أكبرMohammad Adil 19:33, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
Pakistan/China is not neutral because India's claim is not rejected by the international community. Karakoram is simpler, more neutral and appropriate term for this geographical article. The de facto position in explained in the footnote. Incidentally, the similar nature of the edit summaries at [3], [4] and [5], apparently by three different editors, suggests that these editors are not independent of each other and probably in breach of WP:SOCK and/or WP:MEAT. Viewfinder (talk) 20:57, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
- The thing is that it's not really a geographical article. True, Wikipedia is not a mountaineering guide, but this article is about climbing, and therefore the geopolitics are essentially irrelevant. "China/Pakistan" would be just fine, but there's a history on this and other articles of endless revisions debating whether it's Pakistan, or occupied India; the situation with Tibet/China in climbing articles is similar, and again has little to do with climbing. It's counterproductive to keep endlessly fiddling with the one or two-word national labels in a table here, where there's no room to properly explain these political issues, and it's better and more informative to explain those issues in greater detail in the geographical articles. Steveozone (talk) 04:50, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, "climbing" is more accurate that "geographical", but the principle is the same. Edit warring by nationalist POV pushers at List of highest mountains because such a problem that the country column was removed. "Karakoram" was an attempt that I made a while ago to provide an accurate, neutral and simple location. The geo-political situation is footnoted, including the fact that most climbing is from Pakistan. For the most part, Karakoram has stuck, but sadly, whatever we use, there will always be some discontented nationalists. Viewfinder (talk) 16:42, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
- I dont think there is a need of endless debates over this topic, the solution is quite simple, just mention the geographical location which is true in current situation, i.e Who holds tibet now ? china ! so just mention it .. who holds northern Kashmir now a days ? Pakistan ! so just mention it.... and if K2 is situated on the border of tibet and kashmir then just mention Pakistan/China. The geographical location is true under current circumstances, so no need to invent new terms like Karakorum etc etc .. mentioning location of k2 as pakistan/china will not harm the indian claim to northern kashmir, infact what i believe is that due to few biased (nationalist) editors who are just trying to satisfy their nationalist claims, this article which is related to mountains, is suffering. If K2 is in pakistan/china border region and you need a pakistani/chines passport to climb it, then why the hell any one is trying to invent so called neutral terms ? Under such obvious clues i would definitely doubt the intentions of the editor and i will question his neutrality.
الله أكبرMohammad Adil 20:02, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
Please do not question my neutrality or good faith in this discussion, and please leave "Karakoram", which has been stable for several months, unless or until there is consensus in favour of changing it. Viewfinder (talk) 20:41, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
There is nothing "new" about the term Karakoram, it the name of a well known mountain range in an article about climbing. The geo-political situation is footnoted. Viewfinder (talk) 20:50, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
- Agreed. The mountaineering literature (the sources we use for encyclopedia articles) typically do not get into detail about the then-current geopolitical situation at the location of notable climbing achievements. In that context, Karakoram is well-established, and no one is "inventing" anything -- the name of the range, or the glacier (Himalaya, Karakoram, Baltoro, etc.) helps the reader understand the general location, and those readers interested in the politics in the area can move on to an article that addresses geopolitics. It's not a matter of neutrality; it's a matter of explaining facts in an appropriate and relevant article, and limiting the counterproductive nationalism debate to those articles that are on that topic (rather than mountain climbing). Steveozone (talk) 21:26, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
- I guess by now I'm not the only one who's getting just a little bit more than slightly annoyed about these continued chauvinistic edits. What's the point you're trying to get across, Mohammad adil, other than inserting your nationalistic pride into neat and completely harmless articles like these? There's no need trolling us. Qwrk (talk) 21:59, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

It looks odd to see some of the mountain's locations mentioned with their ranges and others by the countries .....Uniformity should prevail. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 07:18, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
- It has been changed to all countries by I think an anon, and I think a couple things need to be said. Yes to above post. We have got to consider uniformity within a page. It really looks amaturish to have countries and range names mixed together for the locations. I really don't understand why so many are insistent on using countries anyway. Im hesitant to even mention this, but there is certain other list that doesn't even bother to state the country at all, and instead, it has the specific range for the location. Someone will probably revert the latest edit, but please consider how important aesthetics are to these articles. We all do so much to make these articles look good and pleasing to the eye, and pleasing to read. We do this more than most of us realize. But we do it. Yet in this article, for some reason, for way too long, we have endured a page that just looked bad. It needs to be one way or another. All countries or all ranges, please. Thank you.

At least this way is consistent, if they are all to be changed it should probably be discussed here. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 16:47, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Hans Kammerlander[edit]
I'ved changed Hans Kammerlander's ranking from having climbed 12 of the 14 8000'ers to having climbed 13 of the 14 8000'ers. Hans Kammerlander and Reinhold Messner climbed together as partners at the time of Reinhold's 14th 8000'er, and which was the 13th 8000'ers for Hans. Also, Hans is not Italian nor does he live in Italy, instead he is German and still lives in Germany. He actually mentions both these correct facts (having climbed 13 out of the 14 8000'ers, and being born in and still living in Germany) in his autobiography. And it is also mentioned on his personal website. [1]
- Not surprising that he himself would so claim; however, according to other sources, there's some controversy over whether he reached the true summit on Shishapangma - www.everestnews.com has some articles on this. Steveozone (talk) 19:06, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- Whatever you may think, Ahornach is most definitely located on Italian soil. The region of Trentino was part of Austria-Hungary (and its predecessor, the Austrian Empire) from 1815 until its annexation by Italy in 1919. It might be the only German-speaking part of Italy, it still is Italy.Qwrk (talk) 20:26, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- Kammerlander climbed the central-peak of Shishapangma, has 12 8000ers in total, lives in Italy and is sometimes not well-informed. Eberhard Jurgalski of 8000ers.com asked him more than one year ago which route he took and which peak of Shisha he climbed. Then Jurgalski send photos with the summits to Kammerlander, but he never answered. Kammerlander seems not to be interested in solving this problem and this is why all the common climbing-databases have him with 12 8000ers. --PietJay (talk) 20:15, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
- I think we're on the same page, PJ. Not sure why the first paragraph above written by somebody else (who will remain anon 220.127.116.11) lost its signature. To be clear, I agree that Kammerlander's climb on Shishapangma is the controversial one, and I doubt he reached the summit. I agree, without it he still has 12, and I don't care much whether he is well-informed or claims to be Italian or German, or whether (as I was responding to above) his website asserts that he climbed 13 (I'm thinking of making my own website claiming "all 15", a la Borat. ;-)) Steveozone (talk) 04:58, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
Nanga Parbat 2009[edit]
Go Mi-Sun (KOR) reportedly completed her 11th summit, (a single-season triple in the 8000+ Himalayans, and 4x8000+ for the year, aggressively seeking to complete all 14) but has apparently fallen and died on descent. Looking for a source, but she reportedly had confirmed plans to complete Gasherbrum I and II and Annapurna (the remaining 8000+s) within the year.
Oh Eun-Sun (KOR) also summitted, her 12th.
Per reports from Joao Garcia, who also summitted (his 13th).
I haven't updated yet, but will in a few days, if there are enough reports. Steveozone (talk) 04:34, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
As of the 1st August 2008, 76 people have died climbing K2 or the Savage Mountain as it is known. This includes the 11 that were killed a couple of days before, when during an avalanche ice took out a section of the fixed ropes stranding 15 climbers, 4 were rescued, but the other 11 were not found.
The total number of people who have climbed K2 stands at 305 as of 1st August 2008, so the ratio of death to success stands at 1 in 4, (Everest is 1 in 10), only Annapurna has a higher death rate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JanJak (talk • contribs) 14:16, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
Climber Statistics[edit]
Andrew Lock used O2 on Everest as reported in the Explorersweb page (http://explorersweb.com/stats/news.php?id=18964) : "Ralf Dujmovits and Andrew Lock both used oxygen albeit only on Everest. Planning to repeat Everest next year without oxygen, "I need to finish 8,000 metre climbing soon because I've been so lucky to survive this long," Lock said. "That's why I say, 'this one more climb' - then it's time to hang up the boots." "
Andrew do reconise it in his website (http://www.andrew-lock.com/summit-8000.shtml) where it is written: "But this is not the end of Andrew's Summit 8000 project. Andrew has climbed all the 8000 metre peaks without auxiliary oxygen. Except Mt Everest. So, in April/May 2010, Andrew will return to Mt Everest to scale it for an historic, third time but on this expedition without oxygen. And he will climb solo and attempt to traverse the peak from one side to the other. "
So the verified climbers'list in the article should only show 9 climbers who have summited the 14 8000ers w/o O2 User:Mabaf 14:06, 08 March 2010 (UTC)
Edit request from Mabaf, 14 April 2010[edit]
{{editsemiprotected}} In the list of "Verified climbers who have reached the summit of all 14 eight-thousanders" delete the number 10 in the second column because Andrew Lock did use O2 when he climbed the Everest. A reliable source of this is Andrew himself in his website:
(http://www.andrew-lock.com/summit-8000.shtml) where it is written: "But this is not the end of Andrew's Summit 8000 project. Andrew has climbed all the 8000 metre peaks without auxiliary oxygen. Except Mt Everest. So, in April/May 2010, Andrew will return to Mt Everest to scale it for an historic, third time but on this expedition without oxygen.

Mabaf (talk) 15:07, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
In the list of "Verified climbers who have reached the summit of all 14 eight-thousanders" second column (O2) Add number 10 as João Garcia - its confirmed he finnished all 14 withouth artificial O2. Futher info quite avalable on the usual sites. Plus correct his nationality its typed Portuguese and not Portugese.

Death rate since 1990[edit]
Hello. Could someone write a line or two in the article explaining the significance of the year 1990 in parsing the death rates? Was there an accumulation of advances in technique or equipment that made climbing safer from roughly 1990 onward? Were safer routes made available or discovered?Wikimedes (talk) 21:29, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
Also, if I read the note at the bottom of the table correctly, a more accurate heading for the last column would be "death rate 1990-2003". If anyone agrees, let me know and I'll change it.Wikimedes (talk) 21:29, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
- I can maybe give some explanation. Before 1990 the climbers on these peaks were comprised mostly of hard-core passionate mountaineers, many of whom where interested in setting "firsts". Such as: first to climb all 8000ers; first to climb peak x without O2; first to climb mountain y in winter; first to climb new route etc. These were inherently dangerous endeavours and cost many lives, but eventually most of these firsts were achieved and then in the 90's there emerged the guided ascents and along with it, a new breed of climber. The more novice climber, who simply wanted to get to the top of a given mountain by whatever meathod, usually taking the easiest route possible under the most ideal conditions. These guided ascents were designed to get more and more of these less-skilled climbers to the top by providing: expert knowledge and guidance, pre-staging O2 and other supplies; pre-fixing ropes in advance and other intense Sherpa support. As a result of this trend, the total number of successful ascents increased, thereby statistically lowering the overall death rate even in years when significantly large numbers of climbers did die (the death rate is calculated as a ratio of deaths to successful ascents). See last paragraph of this section of 1996 Mount Everest disaster for an extreme example of this.
- Why 1990 exactly? My guess, just a round numbered year which happens to correspond to this changing of trends. Hope this at least partially answers your first question. --Racerx11 (talk) 22:41, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah that sounds good. I was trying to think of a succinct way of saying what I wrote.
- The only thing I'd change is "safest means possible". It might be better to say "Since about 1990, guided ascents have brought many climbers to the summits by the safer means, greatly reducing the death rates."--Racerx11 (talk) 00:12, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
- Please note that this is just my opinion and some sources that support what I say will also address the debate about whether guiding inexperienced climbers to top of major summits is really a good idea at all. Many believe these methods are even more likely to get someone in trouble. But like I said, its mostly my opinion why the rates have dropped. Racerx11 (talk) 00:24, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Naming convention for South-Korean climbers.[edit]
G'day all,
I have an issue with which I could use some help, please.
Whilst doing corrections for a well known climbing magazine the issue was raised on what type of naming convention to use for South-Korean mountaineers. Wikipedia has a style in place which is the opposite of what's in use in mountaineering literature.
- The Himalayan Database [Liz Hawley] is using the "given name - surname" style of writing for the Koreans like it does with all other nationalities.
- Eberhard Jurgalski [8000ers.com] has the same method.
- Richard Sale; likewise.
A specialist on Korean writing gave us a little lecture about these names, so I'd like to propose changing these names to make them consistent and in line with the western style of notation.
Go Mi-Sun (or Go Mi-Yeong?) - would be written as; Mi-Young Go
Kim Jae-Soo - would be written as; Jae-Soo Kim
Oh Eun-Sun - would be written as; Eun-Sun Oh etc.

Bian Ba Zha Xi, Ci Ren Duo Ji, and Luo Ze[edit]
In the past week or so, these three names have been added without citation to the list of people who have climbed all fourteen 8000ers. They have been removed, re-added, and removed again today. A Bing search yields no evidence that any of these three have summitted the 8000ers. Bian Ba Zha Xi appears to have climbed Gasherbrun I,[9], but I can't find any evidence that the other two are even mountaineers. The fact that they are supposed to have completed the task in 2006, but are only being mentioned now, is also suspicious. I hope that before adding the names to the list again, a reference can be found to support their inclusion. Does anyone have any information regarding this?--Wikimedes (talk) 06:21, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- User:Cuiyingjie is just poking with us, messing up that neatly designed table, by inserting unsubstantiated claims and false data. Please just check with Eberhard at 8000er.com for the PDF of all climbers who completed the Crown of the Himalaya; (http://www.8000ers.com/cms/en/download.html?func=startdown&id=155) updated till May 26, 2012.

- I think this may shed some light on who these people are/where the names come from: [10]. It's a discussion of an effort to get a team, apparently including the names referenced, to all 14 peaks, but it doesn't appear to support the assertions made here about these people, though.

- To be honest, I'm getting a bit fed up with you and your reverts. I have been specialising on the history of K2 for well over 20 years and now you come storming as a noob who doesn't even have the courtesy to reply to comments or subjects that we better discuss between contributors on wikipedia. I am going to revert your edit AGAIN and would like you to respect the rules in place her, or I'm going to be forced to notify an Administrator.

I don't what user Globetrotter's beef is with it because, as you have pointed out, it appears he is unwilling or unable to discuss the matter. --RacerX11 Talk to meStalk me 15:28, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
- Where's the source you see Egocheaga ?
It's not Jurgalski issue licenses to earn peaks in Pakistan, but the Pakistani government. It does not issue certificates confirming Jurgalski ascents, only the government of Pakistan. And this: http://k2bottleneck.wordpress.com/2009/08/20/jorge-egocheaga-stopped-12m-from-k2-summit/

Sorry I was/am in the middle of large revision at another unrelated article. I guess that's the problem.

Sorry about your frustration Qwrk, but I don't see Egocheaga in the cited source either.--Wikimedes (talk) 16:49, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
- I will tell you why this is. The last PDF that has been published is first14-2012-NEW-DRAFT-incldob-plus.pdf and that one ends with Takeuchi. We've been having a busy season and Eberhard hasn't found the time yet to put the updated PDF online. How much time do you all thinks this cost? He's been doing these stats for well over 30 years, only to see the newest statistics being leeched off his site, often even without crediting sources. This has also resulted in him suffering from RSI, as he's doing it all by himself, alone.... But, I'm sure User:Globetrotter1918 will become a valuable contributor to wikipedia in this field, rest assured. (OK, now I'm out for good. Bye!) Qwrk (talk) 16:59, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
- Eberhard just called me to inform me that a user, who goes by the same name as User;Globetrotter1918, has been active on Polish wikipedia, and who is currently blocked "with an expiry time forever (account creation disabled, can not edit own talk page) (unauthorized use of puppets)"
- When it comes to logical fallacies ["8000ers.com is NOT the authorative source for this!" while at the same time using link to sources on 8000ers.com to be used as a reference], I stand by my view that, even when the basis of wikipedia is a good one, in essence there is something fundamentally wrong with this platform when a contributor with 3,000 edits is given the same weight as a newby with 6 edits to his name.

Ascents and Deaths Update and Death "Rate"[edit]
Hi all, I've updated Ascents and Deaths numbers based on a article of The Economist. Now also the graphs should be updated accordingly, and the Economist article provide also a graph, which is good except for the death rate. I can edit the graphic of this. But I don't know if it is allowed to use and edit such image, nor how to upload such image if I can. Looking for somebody to help me.
Please also note that I've updated the death rate accordingly to the rule followed before (ratio of deaths to successful ascents) which I don't think it makes much sense, I believe it should be (as per definition of "rate") the ratio of deaths to total attempts (hence death to the sum of death and successful ascents). The Economist at least avoids misleading by stating clearly: "Death for every 100 safe returns".

Content dispute regarding China[edit]
All right. This is getting out of hand. A newcomer has been removing references to China ([11]) despite the mountains clearly bordering Pakistan and China and is a clear violation of the WP:NPOV policy. This dispute drove off Qwrk (talk · contribs) into retirement from Wikipedia, but I'm going to take this discussion to the talk page to avoid a potential edit war. Should we include China in the article or not? Thanks, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 06:32, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- Most definitely we should include China. Here is a quote from the source that I added, about the text of a boundary agreement between the governments of Pakistan and China.
- (5) Thence, the boundary line, running generally southward and then eastward, strictly follows the Karakoram Range main watershed which separates the Tarim River drainage system from the Indus River drainage system, passing through the East Mustagh Pass (Muztagh Pass), the top of the Chogri Peak (K2), the top of the Broad Peak, the top of the Gasherbrum Mountain (8068), Indirakoli Pass(named on the Chinese map only) and the top of the Teram Kangri Peak, and reaches its southeastern extremity at the Karakoram Pass.
- Unless anyone else, other than a new editor who has been reverting this border claim, wishes to challenge this border claim, then there should be no need for any further discussion. Except perhaps to point out that the entire area is claimed by India and the international community takes a neutral standpoint on India's claim. Viewfinder (talk) 14:58, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- And just in case there are any more challengers out there, here is a Russian map clearly showing the summit of K2 on the border.Viewfinder (talk) 16:41, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
Assessment comment[edit]
The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Eight-thousander/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
|Press [show] to view -->
|Regarding the page on the "Eight-thousanders" the 14 mountains in the world that breach the magic 8,000 meter height.
The statistical section seems a bit off to me.
It has the 3 of the highest mountain (8,000 +) - Kangchenjunga as having no assents, and yet 40 deaths with a death rate after 1990 of 22%. This is illogical. You can't have 40 assents with a death rate under 100% with no assents showing in the assent column.
Cho Oyu & Annapurna both show no assents, not deaths, and no death rate percentages. This cannot be. Cho Oyu has been submitted - I have not researched the exact number nor deaths - but this web site confirms assets were made on Cho Oyu --> [12]
A quote from a travel website says about Cho Oyu: " It was first climbed in 1954 by Herbert Tichy, Sepp Jochler and Pasang Dawa Lama. The ascent route they took is still used and is considered to be one of the easiest routes to a 8000 mts. peak." Ref ==> =cache:xZV3uwkVA3UJ:www.travelnetnepal.com/mountaineering.html+how+many+people+have+assended+Kangchenjunga&cd=8&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a
Regarding Kanchenjunga - it has been had successful summit attempts. I did not research to find the exact number of climbers who have satisfyingly hit the top. But there have been at least 13. Two references - ==> stating that there was a thirteenth back in 2005 ==> [13] and the source of the information ==> [14]
and there is a book covering a winter assent of Kanchenjunga ==> [http://www.amazon.com/Living-Edge-Winter-Ascent-Kanchenjunga/dp/0879052716 ] So my conclusion - being a rabid fan of the 14 8000 meter mountains is that this Wikipedia article needs some work to update and correct its facts.

Image gallery[edit]
A maintenance tag has just been added to the image gallery section, saying in part "Galleries containing indiscriminate images of the article subject are discouraged; please improve or remove the section accordingly". Having read Wikipedia:Image_use_policy#Image_galleries, IMHO a single thumbnail of each of the 8000m peaks looks like a good use of an image gallery, and these are not "indiscriminate images". (The table of 8000ers would be a better place for the thumbnails, but there really isn't room.) Should the gallery stay?--Wikimedes (talk) 03:52, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Getty Images Carl Edwards won the Subway Fresh Fit 500 on Sunday. Edwards led a race high 122 laps snapping a 70 race win less streak.While Edwards went to victory lane another went on the attack. "The leader's not supposed to slow down before he takes off & he did that twice." commented second place finisher Jimmie Johnson. Johnson believes that Edwards slowed the field down as they approached the green flag on the final restart. There was no penalty by NASCAR for the restart which suggests that there was no concerns by officials.

In 1943, always circumspect about his place in the history books, Winston Churchill sent a memo to his top military commanders. He was addressing the issue of how the British Army should name its military operations. At the time, names were selected at random. But the nomenclature of war, he insisted, should strike a tone between the boastful and banal. At all costs, he wrote, they should not "enable some widow or mother to say their son was killed in an operation called Bunnyhug".
These days the question of what to call your invasion, liberation or peace-keeping force is trickier than christening a baby; a suitable name for an angelic newborn might not be appropriate when it becomes a troublesome teenager. Keen to keep the public onside, the US administration has announced that, in acknowledgement of the gradual withdrawal of its troops, Operation Iraqi Freedom – the umbrella term for all US operations in Iraq – will now be rebranded Operation New Dawn. "It sends a strong signal that Operation Iraqi Freedom has ended, and that our forces are operating under a new mission," wrote US Defence Secretary Robert Gates, in a memo leaked to ABC News.
On the battlefield, names really do matter. For instance, Operation Enduring Freedom, the name for US operations in Afghanistan, looks pretty snappy rolling along the bottom of CNN's rolling news coverage. Operation Frequent Wind, the name given to the 1975 evacuation of US civilians from Saigon, strikes a rather more farcical note.
The method by which top brass name their operations varies from nation to nation. "The Americans are keen to weigh down what they are doing with ideological baggage," says Nick Hewitt, a historian in the department of research and information at London's Imperial War Museum. "Other countries tend to be a bit cleverer about how they use them for PR purposes, trying to ingratiate themselves to those who might be affected by any upheaval. Without resorting to national stereotypes, often it's just a logistical thing. For example, colours are often used as a code to define US weather reports, so were never traditionally used by them; this isn't a problem shared by the Germans, for example."
The history of modern code names really began with the Germans in the First World War. In part, this was due to the development of complex operational warfare where such names could help reduce confusion. Spring offensives on the Western Front in 1918 borrowed from religious, medieval and mythological sources, giving history Operations Archangel, St George, Roland, Mars and Achilles.
In the Second World War, the US military decided to use a system borrowed from the British in which they randomly selected names from a list of 10,000 common nouns and adjectives (Cornflakes, Magic). But in exceptional cases, Churchill stepped in to name operations himself. Operation Overlord, the label given to the 1944 invasion of western Europe that began with the Normandy landings, went on to become one of the war's most memorable monikers.
During the Second World War, names of operations were only known to a small number of key military personnel before being made public at a later date. But gradually, the US military cottoned on to the power of names to shape public perceptions. Operation Crossroads, the name given to atomic bomb tests at the Bikini Atoll Pacific islands – communicating the great responsibility associated with the event – was one notable early success. Another later victory was the US 1989 invasion of Panama, known as Operation Just Cause. The name sought to contrast the noble motives of the US with the injustices of the regime they were fighting. News channels like CNN began packaging their special coverage of news events with snappy names (War in the Gulf; Death of a Princess; Flashpoint Kosovo). "Like the Pentagon's operation names, the networks' titles suggest a master narrative for what might otherwise seem a disorderly stream of events," says American linguist and war commentator Geoffrey Nunberg. "It's a convenient way of packaging stories that have the feeling of a real-life miniseries." Such tactics opened the floodgates for various other bombastic American battle brands. With the 1990 Gulf War came Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Then there was Restore Hope in Somalia (protecting humanitarian relief in 1991), and various Balkans operations in the Nineties with names like Shining Hope, Determined Force and Provide Promise.
The Brits still opt to select names randomly from a computer database and then have military leaders vet them. British military operations in Iraq are snappily entitled TELIC, derived from the Greek word telikos, or "final". For Operation Moshtarak, the NATO-led pacification foray, with Afghan army participation, in Afghanistan's Helmand Province, moshtarak means "together" or "shared" in both the Afghan Dari language and Arabic; it communicates a more touchy-feely approach.
The battlefield of history is littered with notable naming mistakes. In 1940, the British deduced the intent of the Germans' Operation Sea Lion (a marine invasion of Britain) from its name. Operations like Masher and Killer during the Vietnam War did little to win over the US public and media. Then there are the downright ridiculous: Urgent Fury was applied to the 1983 US invasion of the sleepy Caribbean island of Grenada (one wag said Reluctant Necessity was more apt). Operation Wrath of God was the somewhat over-the-top name given to the assassination by the Mossad of those behind the 1972 Munich massacre. Operation Beaver Cage was another Vietnam classic. As ever, it seems, Churchill had it right. No one wants to go down in history – as did the commander of an Australian operation in Fiji in 1987 – as the guy in charge of Operation Morris Dance.

Slim is in when it comes to men's clothing, particularly with men's suits. The slim fit suit has a narrow cut without much excess fabric, leading to a tighter fit that both looks more modern than regular fit suits in addition to flattering the wearer's body. This type of suit works particularly well for those with lean builds, although by choosing the right size, any man can look good in a slim fit suit. Whether this is going to be your very first suit or you just want to find the best slim fit suit possible, following a few simple tips can make your shopping experience significantly easier.
Have Your Measurements Taken
Accurate measurements are essential when buying any suit, but they're particularly important with slim fit suits, because the tighter fit leaves less room for error. Clothing stores may have staff on hand who can take your measurements for you, although if you have a tape measure and someone to help, you can also do it yourself. Have your measurements checked regularly to ensure your new suits continue to be the perfect fit.
When in Doubt, Go with Wool
Wool is by far the most popular choice of fabric for suits, and for good reason. It's a soft fabric that feels good on the skin and lets in plenty of air. It keeps you cool when it's warm out, but also provides warmth when it's cold, making it a versatile choice that fits any season. Linen is a lightweight, more casual option. This thin fabric keeps you comfortable on those hot summer days. To stay looking sharp, it requires regular dry cleaning. Cotton suits are also popular, as they provide many of the same benefits as wool. If you go the cotton route, make sure to press it regularly so your suit retains a straight, professional look.
You Can Be Edgy with Colors and Patterns
If this is your first suit and you plan to wear it in a variety of settings, going with a classic, solid color is a smart choice. Navy blue is one of the most popular colors, but charcoal grey and black are also good choices. However, the slim fit suit is known for being more modern, which means you don't have to stick to the traditional style of a solid color suit in one of the classic color choices. Don't be afraid to take a risk with a check or stripe pattern, or a non-traditional color choice.
Don't Forget the Tie
If you think a slim tie sounds like a great match for a slim fit suit, you're absolutely right. Slim fit suits give you plenty of options when it comes to ties, so you can also try a regular size tie or an ultra-skinny tie. If you're not sure how wide a tie you should get, one easy way to figure it out is by matching the width of your jacket lapel to the width of your tie.

Jones is vigorously denying the latest charge that he ordered a parking lot assassination way back in 2007 and it's interesting that his lawyer is working so hard to get out in front of the ESPN report. (Airing on "Outside The Lines" tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. Set your DVR!) Jones doesn't make for the most compelling witness on his own behalf, but his lawyer joined him in very high-exposure interview on NFL Today and promised that new details will emerge exonerating his client. Meanwhile, Jones expressed his interest in playing for the Cowboys next season and explained that he is beyond his previous alcohol troubles and is staying on the straight and narrow. There is another vice, however, that he seems to have particular difficulties giving up, as you can see in this answer to James Brown's most pertinent and vital question.Reply37 repliesLeave a reply
