:: Print Version :: OURAY - Jean-Christophe Lafaille's journey halfway across the globe to visit the Ouray Ice Climbing Festival was not for competition, but to visit one of the most unique climbing venues in the world. Lafaille hosted a clinic Saturday on the challenges of big mountain climbs and also spent time during the weekend sport climbing with some of his spider-like friends. Lafaille, who has been climbing since he was a 6-year-old youngster and has scaled ice peaks around the globe, including a Himalayan climb in 1992, still loves to visit the "Switzerland of the Unites States." www.montrosepress.com /articles/2004/01/19/local_news/1.prt

Lafaille solos new route on Makalu 2 Jean-Christophe Lafaille soloed a new route on the north side of Makalu 2 (7,650 meters), but was unable to continue to the 8,481-meter main summit of Makalu. J.C. Lafaille's new route climbs to the summit of Makalu 2, the sharp summit in the foreground below the main peak. However, all of the expeditions on this side of the mountain were about to desert their camps, and Lafaille gave up on his summit hopes and returned alone to his own base on the Tibetan side of the mountain. www.climbing.com /news/lafaillemak2

A5 en los Drus El alpinista francés Jean Christophe Lafaille acaba de abrir, en la mítica cara oeste de los Drus, la primera invernal en solitario de una de las vías de artificial más duras de los Alpes, una ascensión épica que ha durado nueve días. Jean Christophe llevaba esperando desde el año pasado a que las condiciones meteorológicas le permitieran lanzar un ataque, en invierno preferiblemente, ya que el riesgo de desprendimiento de rocas es menor. Durante las semanas previas, Jean Christophe había efectuado varios viajes de ida y vuelta para transportar material y comida a pie de vía. www.edicionesdesnivel.com /alpinismo/alpinismo036.htm

SummitPost.org - Message Board - News - Could be the first ever Shishapangma winter climb I'm afraid JC Lafaille will have to leave it with the fact that he made a great climb that could inspire many because of the way he did it, but that it wasn't the first winter ascent. I agree when you say that it are both great accomplishments, and that the style in which J-C Lafaille did it is a great inspiration and he should have all the honours for that. But I refuse to get sucked into the discussion about winter or not-winter of Lafaille's summit. www.summitpost.org /show/mread.pl?f_id=2&t_id=767

Ed Viesturs: Endeavor 8000 LaFaille told me about a route he had found on the south side, a long and complicated route that he thought might offer a way up without the overwhelming objective dangers on the north side. So this season, Viesturs, Gustafsson, LaFaille, and a group of Spanish climbers traveled to Kathmandu, Nepal, then by vehicle to Pokhara, and set out for Annapurna. The climbers have reached their base camp, not far from the site of the base camp for the famous Annapurna South Face Expedition in 1970, when Don Whillans and Dougal Haston reached the summit by the South Face, one of the most technical big routes climbed at that point in the Himalaya. climb.mountainzone.com /2002/story/viesturs/html/index_2.html
