THE EIGHT-THOUSANDERS

A RECORD OF ASCENTS, 1980-1984

D. F. O. DANGAR and T. H. BRAHAM

OUR SERIES BEGAN with the ascent of the first 8000 m peak in 1950 and it was spread over 30 years upto 1979 during which period we recorded a total of 80 ascents of the world's 8000 m mountains. In acceding to the Editor's request to extend the list for a further 5 years upto and including the 1984 season, it has been agreed that this should be the last of the series.1

Over a century ago when the early pioneers entered a virgin field in the European alps and first ascents were the order of the day, chronological records were maintained by the Alpine Club London and others of ascents of the major peaks for a couple of decades. Thus when the Matterhorn was first ascended on 14 July 1865 records were kept of every ascent made thereafter until 1890 after which they were discontinued. So it should be with the 8000 m mountains of the Himalaya and Karakoram.

Annapurna I was first climbed 35 years ago, and 32 years have passed since the first ascent of Everest. It is now not uncommon to record more than 20 ascents each season of 8000 m mountains— their merit being judged by the manner in which they are clim-bed, i.e. alpine style, solo, in winter, by a new route, etc. The current trend is towards traverses of the 8000 m peaks. Five were achieved in 1984. This opens up a whole new field.

More up-to-date methods are becoming available to cope with the problem of keeping records of this burgeoning activity in the world's highest mountains. Himalayan archives have been esta¬blished in the German and Austrian Alpine Clubs, where com¬puterized information is eventually to become available. The U.I.A.A. in Geneva are also considering the possibility of data-based information. The Alpine Club; in London have proposed setting up a computerized information source which is intended ultimately to cover climbing records for all mountains throughout the great ranges situated in Nepal, Pakistan, China, and India.

While hoping that these worthwhile aims may soon be turned into reality, what a departure that will be from the days when Tilman and Shipton set forth on their ventures planned on the back of an envelope, with few records on which to rely, filling in blanks on the map and setting foot on virgin summits.
