Updates

The Autumn-Winter 2011 Update to the Himalayan Database contains the climbing data for the 2011 Autumn-Winter seasons as well as additions and corrections for previous 1905-2011 data in the Himalayan Database. These updates should be applied in sequence only after the previous 2004 through the Spring 2011 updates are first applied in sequential order.

The Combined 2004-2011 Update to the Himalayan Database contains the climbing data for the 2004 through 2011 seasons as well as additions and corrections for the 1905-2003 data in the Himalayan Database. This update is for those who have not applied any previous updates and contains all the changes in the other updates. It should be applied only to the original Himalayan Database, not to a previously updated Himalayan Database

These updates add new fields to the Exped and Peaks databases, but to add these fields the Himal 1.5 version of the database program must be first downloaded and installed (see Added Exped and Peaks Fields Readme below).

All updates are free, but are not readable as stand-alone documents without an existing database. You will need to have a copy of the Himalayan Database installed on your computer to apply and view the contents.

In addition, a new version of the Himal program is available for both the Windows and Macintosh platforms. The new version includes enhancements to the reports and analysis commands as well as some minor bug fixes.
