Owen recounts May expedition
■ Liane Owen shared her
experience as a member
of a female expedition
that climbed Cho Oyu
By Inge McMillen
for the Emerald
Liane Owen, a member of
the 1999 American all
women’s team that climbed
Cho Oyu in the Himalayas, the
sixth tallest peak in the world,
presented a slide show for in
terested students and commu
nity members Monday night.
There were many reasons for
choosing the 26,906 foot-tall
peak Cho Oyu, Owen said. One
of the main considerations was
that Cho Oyu was within their
ability, and that the success
rate is fairly good.
“Just being up high and see
ing the crystal blue sky, it
makes you feel so alive,” Owen
said.
“There is such an obsession
in the West for biggest and best.
Everest is not on my hit list.”
The logistics of getting to the
mountain were more of a task
than the climb itself, she ex
plained. The team planned and
trained for more than 1 1/2
years before leaving the United
States on March 29,1999.
Once in Katmandu, the team
spent 40 days on the trek
which carried it from Katman
du, Nepal, to Tibet, where
members pitched their base
camp.
The expedition chose not to
use bottled oxygen, nor to em
ploy Sherpas to help carry their
gear, although they did have
two Sherpanas — female sher
pas — who stayed in base
camp and helped them cook.
Several yaks were also used for
carrying gear to base camp.
It was a long and strenuous
hike from base camp at 19,700
feet to the top because the
drought made the ice slick and
hard to climb.
“Our crampons just would
n’t go in more than 1/8 of an
inch,” Owen said.
She explained the ice as wa
terfall ice, which makes self-ar
rest in a fall extremely difficult.
The women’s expedition had
no major accidents, but the
team helped with the rescue of
a Spanish expedition that got
lost in a storm.
Nobody died, but one man
was taken down with black fin
gers, black face and a frostbit
ten nose, said Owen, who
added that she did not think
the mountain was as cold as
she expected.
As in most climbs, the team
used double climbing — de
ploying loads at a higher camp
to return to the lower camp for
the night — to acclimate and
avoid serious mountain sick
ness and other altitude related
problems, Owen said.
However, eating enough was
a constant problem. All of the
team members returned skin
ny, she said. Almost a year lat
er, she is still trying to gain
some of the weight back.
Short-handed Ducks split
■ The Oregon hockey team
beats the Huskies on Friday
but loses to them the
following night
By David Raffensperger
for the Emerald
The Oregon Club Sports Hockey
team wrapped up Pacific-8 Confer
ence play with a split in Seattle last
weekend. On Friday night the
Ducks (8-8-0 in the Pac-8) picked
up a rare road win as they beat the
Washington Huskies 3-0.
The Ducks were led by the in
spired play of goaltender Josh
Hardin, who denied the Huskies a
goal on all 18 of their shots.
Providing the offensive firepow
er for the Ducks was the forward
line of Doug Washburn, Tyler Shaf
far and Andrew Belcher, better
known as the “Green Line.”
The Ducks drew first blood when
Rob Starkey’s blast from the point
was deflected in by Belcher, raising
his goal-scoring streak to five
games. Washburn scored the Ducks
second goal before Shaffar poured
some salt in the Huskies’ wounds
by scoring a short-handed goal late
in the second period.
On Saturday night, the Huskies
used their team depth to overpower
and outplay the tired and short
handed Ducks, 5-2. Washington
proved it was hungry for revenge as
it jumped out to an early 2-0 first pe
riod lead.
The Ducks looked to gain mo
mentum late in the third period
when Belcher ran his goal-scoring
streak to six games, making the
deficit 2-1. But with help from their
raucous fans, the Huskies rallied.
They scored two quick goals at the
end of the period and added anoth
er to open up the third period, send
ing the Ducks south for the rest of
the game.
Oregon failed to convert two 5-3
power play opportunities and by
the time Washburn scored the
Ducks’ second goal, the game was
all but over.
The No. 6 Ducks will host cur
rently undefeated Western Wash
ington at the Lane County Ice Arena
on Feb. 11 and 12. Both games are
slated to start at 8 p.m.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 1). A secret
passion could become public this year. Your vi
sion could be hazy in February. You should
have the problem solved by March and should
be ready to move by April. Reality rears its ugly
head in May, but the impossible comes within
reach again by August A startling revelation is
to your advantage in December, and the happy
ending comes around next January.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10
is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March21-Aprii 19)—Today isa6—
The general is coming to inspect the troops!
She's not in the mood to be hassled, contradicted
or messed with in any way. Even if you're total
ly respectful, you could be in big trouble if
there's a smirk on your face. Look sharp, and
you'll pass the test
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7
— Your career is important to you now. You're
thinking of new things to do — ways to stretch
your talents and your mind. You might even
feel like taking a class. If you do, choose one
you can use to improve your earnings. That
way, it may be tax deductible.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)—Today is a6 —
You'd probably love to travel if you could afford
to go. Well, maybe you could. If you can keep
your mate from spending all your money on
something else, maybe the two of you could
take a vacation together. Better talk about it and
set priorities.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)—Today is a 6—
You may want to let a partner take the lead. An
older woman would be the best one to make
your next decision for you. Well, your input's
important, too, of course. It's her wisdom that
really gives you the advantage, however.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6 —
You're a hard worker, especially now. You cant
do everything all by yourself, however. If you
can, you havent taken on enough of a challenge.
If you have to rely oo a strong partner, you're in
the right place at the right time. So, do it
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept 22)—Today is an 8—
You are one of the lucky ones. You're cute as a
button, too. Oh, sure, you have a lot to do, but
that’s OK. You have a talent for organization,
remember? Fit in a special date for tomorrow
early—or late tonight. Or, both.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is a 6 —
Focus on home and family this week, especially
today and tomorrow. Clean up your environ
ment. Toss the stuff that doesn't work for you
any more and put in something that does. You're
the one with the talent in this area, so put it to
good use.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7
— You should be able to learn pretty easily
now. The best thing to do when this condition is
in effect is to get yourself close to a wise older
person. Watch what he or she does and do the
same. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery,
and it's how you learn best.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today
is a 6 — You may be in the mood to go back to
school. You'd also like to make more money.
These two concepts are linked, but not directly.
It's more like you have to work at one thing in
order to pay for your training in another. Hmm
mm. Worth a try!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)—Today is a
7 — This should be a good week for wheeling
and dealing. You're exceptionally sharp right
now, in fact. Knowing that, what sort of chal
lenge do you want to take on? You're creative,
persistent and assertive. The sky’s the limit!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7
— You can accomplish just about anything you
can imagine. Words mean things, as you un
doubtedly know. Well, ideas mean things, too.
When you put those ideas into words and ex
plain them to people, miracles can happen. Go
for it, again.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is an 8
— You've got a few little worries, but you can
plow right past them. Get your friends to help
you with those, too, and you could stumble onto
a wonderful experience. You could suddenly re
alize you donl have a thing to waoy about!
