Lapchi Kang region at 1:50, 000 in a series of detailed topographic maps of selected trekking areas of Nepal originally prepared by E. Schneider & now edited by the German Scientific Association of Comparative High-Mountain Research (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für vergleichende Hochgebirgsforschung). Traditionally referred to as “the Schneider maps”, titles in this series cover Nepal’s most popular trekking regions at 1:50, 000 or 1:100, 000. The maps were originally prepared by the Austrian climber & cartographer Erwin Schneider & for nearly five decades provided the best & often the only coverage of these areas. Now sponsored by the German Scientific Association of Comparative High-Mountain Research (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für vergleichende Hochgebirgsforschung), the maps are still"ed in most trekking guides to Nepal. Most maps have contours at 40-m intervals &, with bold relief shading & colouring for the glaciers, provide a vivid representation of the terrain. Margin ticks & crosshairs give UTM coordinates plus latitude & longitude. Map legend is in English. As the series is currently being revised to include more trekking information, please see the individual descriptions for more details.

Jean Bobet’s “ Lapize… Now There Was an Ace” tells the story of one of the early greats of cycling & in particular the Tour de France. 2010 was the centenary of the introduction of the Pyrenees into the Tour de France route. It was a contentious decision at that time to send riders on their primitive bicycles into the high mountains. How Tour organiser Henri Desgrange was tricked by his assistant, Georges Steines, into agreeing to direct his riders over 2, 000-metre cols is one of the great legends of Tour history. The 1910 race itself was won by the French champion Octave Lapize, who added to the controversy on the top of the Col du Tourmalet by shouting out to the Tour officials, ` Vous êtes des assassins! Oui, des assassins!`
- ` You are murderers! Yes, murderers!` For Lapize himself, this was his only Tour victory, but he was an outstanding one-day classics rider & also a fine track cyclist, winning a bronze medal at the 1908 Olympics. During the First World War Lapize, a fighter pilot in the French army, was shot down in June, 1917, & died in a hospital the following month. For all his initial misgivings, Desgrange had no hesitation in calling the Pyrenean venture a great success & those high cols immediately became an indispensable part of any Tour route. In the 100 years since Octave Lapize`s first epic ascent the Tourmalet has figured 73 times, & none so memorably than that very first time.
