Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chaque génération apporte, à l'alpinisme, sa contribution propre : les grimpeurs-acrobates des années quatre-vingt n'ont pas failli à la règle. Forts de leurs prouesses, accomplies en école et en falaise, ils tournèrent les yeux vers la haute montagne, avec l'ambition d'y appliquer leur conception "sportive" de l'escalade. On comprit très vite que le massif du Mont-Blanc n'avait pas, en un siècle d'exploits, libéré tous ses trésors. En quelques saisons, des dizaines d'itinéraires ont été tracées dans des dalles de granite finement fissurées, et dans des goulottes réputées infranchissables. Dominique Suchet présente ici les voies les plus intéressantes ouvertes ces dernières années. Voies exemplaires, qui canalisent, au plus près de la verticale, toutes les composantes de l'évolution, dont la "grimpe" et la montagne sont aujourd'hui l'enjeu, jusqu'aux limites du... huitième degré. Croquis d'escalade minutieusement cotés, notes techniques, et documents photo à l'appui, cette invitation à la "haute école en haute montagne" s'accompagne des "points de vue" sans détour des grimpeurs les plus engagés de ce nouveau chapitre de la conquête de l'inutile.

Download or read book The Great Mars Hill Bank Robbery written by Ronald Chase and published by Down East Books. This book was released on 2016-02-10 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 12, 1971, Bernard Patterson, a much decorated Vietnam War hero, turned a real-life version of Don Quixote, Butch Cassidy, and Robin Hood all rolled into one package, robbed the Northern National Bank in Mars Hill, Maine. He escaped with $110,000; at the time, the largest bank robbery in the history of the state. A tunnel rat and paratrooper in Vietnam who rose to the rank of Sergeant, he was awarded four bronze stars and recommended for a silver star for valor. He returned home to northern Maine broke and disillusioned. Wearing dark glasses, dressed in a Marx Brother’s ankle length coat and wearing a blue wig, he robbed the bank, even though he was recognized by the elderly teller. He initially escaped by paddling a rubber raft down the Prestile Stream. This was the beginning of a comic, outrageous, implausible journey that took him across the United States, then to Europe and North Africa before finally surrendering to authorities in Scotland Yard after he had spent most of the money. Along the way, he lived a raucous life of wine and women while hobnobbing in aristocratic hangouts and giving money to those he perceived to be in need; all the time staying just a heartbeat ahead of law enforcement officials. He motor biked across Europe, hoodwinked border officials, bought a camel and got lost in the North African desert. Returned to the United States for prosecution, he was convicted and imprisoned. Released several years later, he moved back to northern Maine, where he continued to lead a reckless life that included running a “pot farm,” until he died at age 56 in 2003. When asked by a friend why he had robbed the bank, he responded, “the VA wouldn’t give me a loan, so I decided to take one out on my own.”
