	First ascent (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		First ascents are notable because they are the climbs that entail genuine exploration ; the risks are higher and the challenge greater than for any later climber.
		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.

	Anderson Frees Three More Zion Routes
		The route was first climbed in 1987 by Dave Jones and Bob Yoho, and typical of a Jones route it is “serious”, with loose rock and burly climbing.
		Freeing the route took all of my experience to deal with the very physical cruxes and the mentally trying, loose, and run-out pitches in between.
		The first moves off the ground turned out to be the crux, and I up- and down-climbed a few times to work out the 5.12 boulder problem.

	:: First Ascent Website ::
		In the late 1970s I was the first ascentionist of numerous technical rock climbing routes in Britain which were among the hardest of their day, such as Linden (E6) in 1976 at Curbar Edge in Derbyshire.
		Big John (E4), also on Hoy, was the first one day, and first free, ascent of the biggest sea cliff in Britain.
		The latter was the first Scottish winter route to be given a guidebook rating of VI - before it had been repeated, even though we graded it V! In North Wales my most noteworthy winter first ascents include the ice-fall climbs of Cascade (V) and Central Ice-fall Direct (VI) on Craig Rhaeddr.

	Recollections of the First Free Ascent of the Left Side of the Hourglass
		After my ascent, and typical of other climbers before me, the accomplishment and rite of passage were partly why I could finally bow out of the central camp scene and its infinite loop of harder and harder climbing.
		Many of Chuck's other ascents presented the same issue: to ascend them you had to be ready to leave everything behind and wriggle through some spiritual portal of terrible beauty and rhythm, hopefully emerging cleansed and transported.
		I was very doubtful after taking this first feel, that I could last the entire undercling and then the lieback and still be able to swing into the offwidth in control, even though the fin had a good top to it.

	Sony Global - Press Release - World's first commercialization of Mercury-Free Silver Oxide Battery
		Currently, revisions in the battery directives are being made in the European Parliament and European Environmental Council, however it is expected that freeing mercury from silver oxide batteries will be an exception, due to the difficulty in realizing it.
		This corrosion of Zinc also causes electrolysis in the electrolyte and brings about the production of Hydrogen gas, which will result in ascent of inner pressure and expansion of the cell.
		And for this reason, mercury which suppressed the corrosion of Zinc was added in the battery, however it was desired for mercury to be reduced, for its considerable harm to the environment.

	Fitz Roy's Casarotto All-Free
		This was likely the first complete free ascent of the 1,200-meter route on Fitz Roy’s Goretta (Northeast) Pillar, as well as the first one-day ascent.
		Bowers and Wharton, along with several other parties, had hoped to complete the first free ascent of Fitz Roy’s Royal Flush on the east face, but poor conditions defeated a couple of attempts as high as the 23
		The day after his descent from the Casarotto with Wharton, Bowers was joined by Helen Motter, a seasonal climbing ranger in the Tetons, and the next day the two climbed the mountain’s Franco-Argentinean Route in about 14 hours, with Motter leading the first five pitches and making Fitz Roy her very first Patagonian summit.

	the First Free Ascent of The Left Side of the Hourglass
		Done 32 years ago, this dangerous ascent was climbing that has rarely been seen in America but was nonetheless very expressive of those times.
		This radiant, complex, and astounding memory has since been with me privately almost every hour and in ways served for me as an armature for so many situations to come, even though three decades have transpired, and my powers have subsided and I have long since disappeared from the central climbing scene.
		The visitation of sparkling images, moments of total power from those past climbs came to me as I ascended the final hard section to the lap-like polished basin ending the lead.
