El Capitan where two climbers vying to become the first in the world to use only their hands and feet to scale a sheer slab

TRAVERSE
CITY,
Mich.
(AP) — Government-sanctioned
tests of equipment designed to
cleanse ship ballast water of
invasive species are seriously
flawed because they don’t deter-
mine whether the systems will
remove microbes that cause
gastrointestinal illnesses, scien-
tists said Wednesday.
Ballast water provides sta-
bility for cargo ships in rough
seas. But it’s believed to have
introduced numerous invaders
to U.S. coastal waters and the
Great Lakes, including zebra
mussels, spotted jellyfish and
Japanese shore crabs, along
with bacteria and viruses.
The Environmental Protec-
tion Agency and the Coast Guard
have set limits on the number
of live organisms ballast water
can contain, based on standards
proposed by an international
agency in 2004. To comply, ship
companies must install technol-
ogy that kills enough creatures
to meet the limits.
Laboratory testing of treat-
ment systems has been con-
ducted for 10 years. But a newly
published paper in the Marine
Pollution
Bulletin
contends
the evaluations have a crucial
defect: They don’t adequately
measure the systems’ effec-
tiveness against three disease-
carrying microbes that the
regulations target. One of them,
E. coli, can indicate the pres-
ence of fecal sewage.
“This is a real problem,” said
Andrew Cohen of the Center for
Research on Aquatic Bioinva-
sions in Richmond, California,
who wrote the paper with Fred
Dobbs of Old Dominion Univer-
sity in Virginia. “We know there
are serious pathogens in ballast
water. There’s good evidence
that ballast water has moved
them around the world and into
U.S. waters.”
The Coast Guard declined to
comment and EPA had no imme-
diate reaction to the report.
Some experts believe bal-
last water from Asia caused a
1991 cholera outbreak in South
America that killed 10,000 peo-
ple, Cohen said. According to
the paper, at least 38 species of
disease-causing bacteria have
been detected in ballast tanks.
Companies
are
develop-
ing on-board cleansing sys-
tems using tools such as filters,
chemicals, ozone and ultravio-
let light. University and private
laboratories are testing how
well they work. Fifty-three sys-
tems have won approval from at
least one country with member-
ship in the International Mari-
time Organization.
The U.S. Coast Guard and
EPA have yet to certify any sys-
tem but have allowed the tem-
porary use of 45 endorsed by
other nations.
Cohen and Dobbs said they
obtained data from 390 tests
conducted on 38 treatment sys-
tems between 2004 and 2013.
They said in 95 percent of the
tests, the water samples con-
tained so few of the targeted
microbes from the start that
they met the standards even
before the treatments began.
“The equipment being tested
would have passed the microbe
tests even if it hadn’t been
turned on,” Cohen said. “You
need to begin with at least
enough microbes in the water so
that if the system is turned off,
the (sample) will fail.”
The
process
should
be
improved and all tests con-
ducted thus far redone using
water containing microbial lev-
els “comparable to what ships
would encounter in a bad situ-
ation out in the real world,” he
said.

Two men finish
their free climb of
Dawn Wall
YOSEMITE
NATIONAL
PARK, Calif. (AP) — A pair
of Americans on Wednesday
completed what had long been
considered the world’s most
difficult rock climb, using only
their hands and feet to conquer
a 3,000-foot vertical wall on El
Capitan, the forbidding granite
pedestal in Yosemite National
Park that has beckoned adven-
turers for more than half a cen-
tury.
Tommy Caldwell and Kevin
Jorgeson became the first to
“free-climb” the rock forma-
tion’s Dawn Wall, a feat that
many had considered impossi-
ble. They used ropes and safety
harnesses to catch them in case
of a fall, but relied entirely on
their own strength and dexter-
ity to ascend by grasping cracks
as thin as razor blades and as
small as dimes.
The effort took weeks, as the
two dealt with constant falls
and injuries. But their success
completes a years-long dream
that bordered on obsession for
the men.
The trek up the world’s larg-
est granite monolith began
Dec. 27. Caldwell and Jorgeson
lived on the wall itself. They
ate and slept in tents fastened
to the rock thousands of feet
above the ground and battled
painful cuts to their fingertips
much of the way.
Free-climbers do not pull
themselves up with cables or
use chisels to carve out hand-
holds. Instead, they climb inch
by inch, wedging their finger-
tips and feet into tiny crevices
or gripping sharp, thin projec-
tions of rock. In photographs,
the two appeared at times like
Spider-Man, with arms and
legs splayed across the pale
rock that has been described as
smooth as a bedroom wall.
Both men needed to take rest
days to wait for their skin to
heal. They used tape and even
superglue to help with the pro-
cess. At one point, Caldwell set
an alarm to wake him every
few hours to apply a special
lotion to his throbbing hands.
They also took physical pun-
ishment when their grip would
slip, pitching them into long,
swinging falls that left them
bouncing off the rock face. The
tumbles, which they called
“taking a whipper,” ended in
startling jolts from their safety
ropes.
Caldwell and Jorgeson had
help from a team of supporters
who brought food and supplies
and shot video of the adven-
ture.
The 36-year-old Caldwell
and 30-year-old Jorgeson ate
canned
peaches
and
occa-
sionally sipped whiskey. They
watched their urine evaporate
into thin, dry air and handed
toilet sacks, called “wag bags,”
to helpers who disposed of
them.
There are about 100 routes
up the rock known among
climbers as “El Cap,” and many
have made it to the top, the
first in 1958. Even the Dawn
Wall had been scaled. Warren
Harding and Dean Caldwell
(no relation to Tommy) made
it up in 1970, using climbing
ropes and countless rivets over
27 days.
No one, however, had ever
made it to the 3,000-foot sum-
mit in one continuous free-
climb — until now.
