Graving the most vertiginous hands -in -naked mountains has become a Challenge for a climbers in search of adrenaline.
Here are the 5 most extreme climbing sites, or otherwise called the "Big Walls"
Bugaboo arrow, Canada
This is one of the most famous Canada spots located in the Purcell mountain range. Bugaboo's arrow peaks at more than 3,200 meters. The first to have a love at first sight for the impossible wall was Conrad Kain, who climbed him in 1916.
torres in Chile
Las Torres are three granite peaks located in Torres del Paine National Park, between the Andes Cordillera and the Patagonian steppe. The highest of these towers reaches 2,800 meters above sea level. The contrast between the dish of the steppe and the relief of the site makes it one of the most amazing in the world.
Saint Matterhorn in Switzerland
This peak, with its 4,480 meters high, is one of the highest of the Swiss Alps. It was climbed in 1865 by an English team led by Edward Whymper, among which three members lost their lives.
Cerro Torre in Argentina
In Argentina Patagonia is one of the most extreme peaks. This is Cerro Torre, which, in addition to its 3,102 meters above sea level, has extremely harsh climatic conditions. It has long been an object of obsession on the part of many mountaineers, until 1959, when the Italian Cesare Maestri, accompanied by Australian Tony Egger finally climbed him.
And our big winner, The Tours de Trango, in Pakistan
These towers fascinate not only by their height (just 6,286 meters ...) but also by their beauty. Some say that these are the most beautiful granite turns in the world. Joe Brown, an Englishman accompanied by a team, was the first person in the world to leave his footprint on their summit.
During the practice of climbing in high altitude , many difficulties get across the road:
-
The low pressure which decreases the available oxygen level, the temperature which drops by 6.5 ° C every 1000 meters.
-
The sun that hits much harder and unworthy burn the skin or eyes
-
Dehydration because of the air that is always drier with the height ...
A list of constraints that add even more glory to these slightly crazy pioneers, eager to note all the challenges.
The climbing is a complete sport, which not only requires physical capacities, but also mental in order to improve gestures until perfect precision, overcome the fear of failure or emptiness ... < BR />
No need to have a donation to get into practice. Start climbing on artificial structures very often triggers the start of a passion for many novices, which then embark on outdoor outings with their club . Why not, too, Climb to the summits of the adventure ?
