	Todd Skinner's Virtual Climbing Tour
		He accomplished more than 300 first ascents in 26 countries around the world and established new climbs at the highest level of difficulty.
		He relished the challenge of all aspects of rock climbing, from bouldering to Himalayan peaks, but most of all dreamed about Big Walls that could be free climbed in all corners of the globe.
		Todd was invited to be one of three adventures included in National Geographic's first "Live from National Geographic" lecture program held outside of Washington DC.

	Mount Everest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Radhanath Sikdar, an Indian mathematician and surveyor from Bengal, was the first to identify Everest as the world's highest peak in 1852, using trigonometric calculations based on measurements made with theodolites from 240 km (150 miles) away in India.
		It was first measured in 1856 at 29,000 feet (8,839 m), but declared to be 29,002 feet (8,840 m) high.
		The ascent via the southeast ridge begins with a trek to Base Camp at 5,380 m (17,600 ft) on the south side of Everest in Nepal.

	MISSION EVENTS SUMMARY
		In second-stage ascent, the body-mounted accelerometers are not used, and the elevons are held in position.
		This capability is provided during first- and second-stage ascent by substituting the inputs from the rotational hand controller for the automatic commands from guidance to gimbal the main engines and SRBs during first stage or the main engines during second stage.
		The first thrusting period is referred to as OMS-1 and boosts the orbiter to the desired apogee; the second burn is called OMS-2 and typically circularizes the orbit.

	NWMJ Issue 1 - Mt. Index - First Ascent History
		Initially widely disbelieved, the first ascent of the North Face, and the first ascent of the North Peak itself were not “verified” until thirteen years later.

		The mountain is the highest point left of the primary upheaval and is a beautiful mass of igneous rock with cascade glaciers flowing outward on all sides, except the north, from a central snow field.
		Price and I attempted the ascent once more, going this time to the south and climbing along the face of the mountain until we came out on top of the main shoulder to the southwest, at an altitude of about 6500 feet, where we spent the night.
		We left a record of the ascent in a glass jar under the cairn that we built, claiming the ascent in honor of the Sierra and Mazama Clubs of which we were members.

		Unfortunately, the first two pitches of 5.10 (on the topo we had) were in fact mixed climbing, mostly ice.
		Above the first massive snow gully, the rock leading to the summit was completely white--coated in rime and snow.
		This was the first time I'd completely enjoyed a sunny day for the last two months--either there hasn't been one, or we've been down low worrying that we need to hustle and get high.

		A First Ascent (FA) must meet two standards: satisfy THE RULES and be accomplished by an eligible individual (vide infra).
		First ascent honors are shared with the original and the new area claimant, provided that the new claimant has reached all other areas.
		If an eligible individual was not first to finish a county containing multiple highpoints, but was first to get the single highpoint later proven highest, s/he receives first ascent honors in place of the previously listed first ascender for that county.

	First Ascent of Mount St. Elias
		From this point forth, the porters are mainly employed in moving provisions from one cache camp to the next, higher camp, while the main expedition members continue on their quest for the peak.
		By August 8 they had reached the Malaspina Glacier, where on July 4th, on their way up, they were forced to skirt a glacial lake in order to reach the Hitchcock Glacier, this time the lake was no longer present, and they were easily able to access the Malaspina Glacier where the Lake had been.

		Some area guidebooks consciously choose to omit this information, so as to discourage disputes over priority and excessive bolting of faces so as to be able to add up new "first ascents".
		Wags also use the term "last ascent" to refer to a climb that is so unpleasant or unaesthetic (due to loose rock, excessive brush, etc) that no one would ever willingly repeat the first ascent party's ordeal.

	THE FIRST ASCENT OF NAPES NEEDLE
		A deep crack offered a very obvious route for the first stage, but the middle portion of this crack was decidedly difficult, being at that time blocked with stones and turf, all of which has since been cleared away.
		My first care was to get two or three stones and test the flatness of the summit by seeing whether anything thrown-up could be induced to lodge.
		This remarkable solo first ascent of Napes Needle took place on either the 27th or 30th June 1886 and is generally reckoned to mark the foundation of rock-climbing as a sport in its own right, ie distinct from mountaineering.

	First Free Ascent of the Hallucinogen Wall (VI 5.13- D10+ R) :: SuperTopo Rock Climbing Discussion Topic
		Seems to me that the Ogden and crew are great climbers but not the best of teh best and so they focus on what they can do with their strengths, both for their own adventure and for the sake of sponsors.
		I think this climb is noteworthy (beyond the free climbing sickness involved) due to the fact that thier ascent represents the best style of ascent that this climb has seen.
		A somewhat ironic (and moralistic) commentary from persons on a website devoted largely to the transport of huge bags, tubes full of sh#t etc. up a much more heavily visited cliff in a much more popular park, in which park the accidental droppage of said bags/tubes is not unheard of.

		When Dudley Smith led a CMC party during the 1934 July Fourth holiday, they concentrated on making the first ascent of Peak L and the second ascent of Peak Q. The absence of evidence from the 1930s suggests that Peak T never was a prime mountaineering objective.
		In 1944, a decade after these initial climbs to the Upper Slate Lake region, Stan Midgely made the first recorded attempt on Peak T. He climbed Peak S for a first ascent, and then he began the ridge traverse towards T when a severe migraine forced him to descend before reaching the summit.
		We believe our climb of this block is possibly the first ascent of the exact summit of Peak T for a number of reasons.

		What makes this significant is not the quality of the beer itself, which is average as far as gueuzes go, rather its the fact that it is the first new authentic lambic to be marketed in Belgium since 2003 with the introduction of De Cam.
		The first quality that I notice when sipping it is the mouthfeel, which is substantial and yet soft enough to work with the flavors.
		The first impression, coming from the nose of course, was a tad disappointing; It seemed that some of the fine aromatics of the beer had been lost or perhaps masked over time.
