Book excerpt: The essential guide for mountaineering in Aoraki Mount Cook National Park and Westland Tai Poutini National Park. The mountains of Aoraki Mount Cook National Park and Westland Tai Poutini National Park contain some of the best mountaineering and transalpine tramping in the world and make up New Zealands most popular alpine climbing region. These two national parks are covered in their entirety in this latest edition of the New Zealand Alpine Clubs top-selling mountaineering guidebook. All new routes recorded since the last (2001) edition are included, and specific attention is given to how the mountains and access routes have been affected by climate change. The expanded coverage area now includes the lush, rugged, and previously overlooked valleys on the west side of the Main Divide, including the Callery, lower Balfour, Cook/Weheka, Copland, Douglas, and Karangarua catchments. Because information on these valleys has been difficult to find for so long, they still host several major unclimbed features. There is also a new chapter on climbs from Aoraki Mount Cook Village, for those passing through with only a couple of days available for climbing. The authors love for New Zealands mountains, fascination with climbing history, meticulous eye for detail, and passion for engaging with climbers has resulted in an up-to-date, reliable, and comprehensive guide the definitive guidebook for the Aoraki-Tai Poutini region.
Download or read book Life at the Top written by Genevieve Willoughby and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life at the Top: Tales from Aoraki-Mount Cook brings to life the stories of those who lived and worked in the Mt. Cook area and explored the magnificent mountains surrounding it. The themes and issues that dominate the development of Mt. Cook are uncovered in the book. The mountains have great spiritual significance for Maori and the early trailblazers appreciated their grandeur and the challenges they presented. Life at the Top covers stories of the early explorers and their hair-raising adventures as they surveyed, photographed, mapped and climbed in the area. It also captures the stories of the settlers who struggled to eke out an existence in this inhospitable country. Early visitors returned home with tales of an extraordinary alpine wilderness. Transport links were soon developed as tourist numbers increased and the first Hermitage was built to cater for them. Over time, with more people arriving the need for better accommodation and infrastructure increased. Life at the Top describes the building of the three Hermitage hotels and tells the stories of those who worked or stayed there. Fascinating characters fill the book including the Reverend Green, who came all the way from Ireland in a failed attempt to conquer Mt. Cook. Women feature highly; the courageous Freda du Faur who against all odds became the first female to climb Mt. Cook, and Ruth Adams, who was the subject of a renowned rescue which took an exhausting week. The book outlines the dedicated work of the Graham and Wigley families who made a long-lasting contribution to climbing and tourism. Many of the stories told in Life at the Top are gathered from descendants of the pioneers and many of the photographs included are drawn from family archives. These stories, from the past and present, illustrate Mt. Cook's tremendous magnetism which has brought people from all over the world, throughout the history of New Zealand.

Book excerpt: alarmist (pre 2020): Someone who exaggerates a danger and so causes needless worry or panic.alarmist (post 2020): Someone who justifiably raises the alarm about a global danger to Earth's biosphere.His research was urgent fifty years ago. Now, it' s critical.In the early 1970s, budding Kiwi scientist Dave Lowe was posted at an atmospheric monitoring station on the wind-blasted southern coast of New Zealand' s North Island. On a shoestring salary he measured carbon in the atmosphere, collecting vital data towards what became one of the most important discoveries in modern science.What followed was a lifetime' s career marked by hope and despair. As realisation dawned of what his measurements meant for the future of the planet, Dave travelled the world to understand more about atmospheric gases, along the way programming some of the earliest computers, designing cutting-edge equipment and conducting experiments both dangerous and mind-numbingly dull. From the sandy beaches of California to the stark winters of West Germany, the mesas of the Rocky Mountains and an Atlantic voyage across the equator, Dave has faced down climate deniers, foot-dragging bureaucracy and widespread comp
