Days Of Steam 010: Mahmood Schricker

For our final episode of the 2023 season, we’re heading to Kishtwar in northern India, an area of very dramatic granite peaks, most of which have only been climbed by one or two routes. One of these mountains is White Sapphire, a peak of 6,040 meters or just under 20,000 feet, that had only been climbed twice. Pete Takeda, the interviewer for this episode, had shared photos of an unclimbed big wall on White Sapphire with a young friend named Christian Black. In time, Christian recruited his friends Hayden Wyatt and Vitaliy Musiyenko as partners. They won a grant from the American Alpine Club, and in September they all headed to India.

Two of the three climbers had never been to the Himalaya, and this interview captures their wide-eyed enthusiasm, as well as their ability to go with the flow—a critical element for success in the Greater Ranges. And success they had, with a challenging new route up White Sapphire from the north: Brilliant Blue (850m, AI3, 80°, M7+).

The Cutting Edge is presented by Hilleberg the Tentmaker (hilleberg.com), with additional support from Blue Ice and Bivouac Coffee. This podcast is produced by the American Alpine Club.

I originally wrote Peninsula on an acoustic guitar whilst camping near the sea on the west coast of Scotland. I have always found playing music a very comfortable way of expressing how i feel, often i write something and during the process find myself engaging with particular topics or emotions in my life that i didn’t realise were there. It is as if the sub-conscious connection between my brain and an instrument is a more honest expression of how i feel than my conscious thoughts. Peninsula was one of those songs.

Armenia’s greatest living musician and the acknowledged master of the duduk, Djivan Gasparyan has toured throughout Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the United States for over fifty years. His work can be heard on numerous film soundtracks, including The Crow, Russia House and Gladiator. The duduk is a traditional woodwind instrument from the greater Armenia region. A double-reed instrument of ancient origin and noted for its unique, mournful sound. Djivan’s debut solo album I Will Not Be Sad In This World was originally released in the Soviet Union in 1983. Moon Shines At Night was recorded in 1993 with infinite guitarist Michael Brook.

Now in his 85th year, Djivan is performing a series of farewell concerts over the next 12 months, including an appearance at the Global Beat festival in New York City in June 2014

“Without doubt one of the most beautiful and soulful recordings I have ever heard” – Brian Eno
