In 1850 he made the first ascent of Piz Bernina, the highest mountain in the Eastern Alps. He also gave Piz Bernina its name, after the eponymous pass.[1]Coaz was born in Antwerp in 1822, the son of Wilhelm Johann Coaz, a professional officer, and his wife Salom\u00e9 n\u00e9e Koehl. He died in Chur in 1918.Table of ContentsForestry and topography[edit]Mountaineering[edit]Commemoration[edit]Bibliography[edit]Works by Coaz[edit]Works on Coaz[edit]References[edit]Forestry and topography[edit]Between 1841 and 1843 he trained at the Royal Saxon Academy of Forestry in Tharandt to become a forester, then assumed the role of mountain topographer in Graub\u00fcnden in the service of the Federal Topographic Bureau. When he was 28 he became private secretary to the topographer Guillaume-Henri Dufour.[2] From 1851 to 1873 he was chief forestry inspector of the cantons of Graub\u00fcnden and St. Gallen (1873\u201375). In 1875 Coaz became the first Federal Chief Forestry Inspector, a position he held until 1914.[3][4]Coaz was scientifically active in the areas of forest botany, topography, meteorology, and glacier and avalanche research.[2] He described Larix X marschlinsii Coaz, noted in Kr\u00fcssmann as a hybrid between L. kaempferi and L. russica that came from the Tscharnerholz Forest Nursery, near Morat, Switzerland in 1901[5] (the species is now considered a hybrid between L. decidua and L. kaempferi). He was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Bern in 1902.Mountaineering[edit]As a climber and surveyor he made around 30 first ascents in the Alps,[4] mostly in the Bernina Range, the Albula Alps, and the Upper and Lower Engadin. In 1846 he made the first ascent of Piz Kesch on 7 September,[6] and in the same year he made the first ascent of Piz Languard, Piz Surlej, Piz Aguagliols, Piz d’Esen and Piz Lischana.[4] In 1848 he made the first ascent of Piz Quattervals.[4]His most significant and celebrated first ascent was of Piz Bernina, at 4,049 m the highest summit in the Eastern Alps, together with two assistants, brothers Jon and Lorenz Ragut Tscharner on 13 September 1850.[7] Their route was via “The Labyrinth” and the east ridge.[7][8] Although all three were surveyors, they left their surveying equipment at the foot of the ridge.[9] Coaz later wrote in his diary:At 6 pm we stood on the ardently desired lofty peak on soil that no human had trod upon before, on the highest point of the canton at 4052 meters [sic] above sea level. Serious thoughts took hold of us. Greedy eyes surveyed the land up to the distant horizon, and thousands and thousands of mountain peaks surrounded us, rising as rocks from the glittering sea of ice. Amazed and awe-struck we gazed across this magnificent mountain world.In 1850 he made the first recorded ascent of Piz Corvatsch,[10] and of Piz Tschierva (on 18 August).[11]Commemoration[edit]A statue of Coaz was placed outside the Boval Hut to the north-east of Piz Morteratsch in 1922, to mark the 100th anniversary of his birth.[2]The Coaz Hut (2,610 m) to the immediate west of Piz Roseg in the Bernina Range is named after him.[12] Designed by Jakob Echenmoser, it is a 16-sided building that replaced an earlier structure and was opened in 1964.[13]Bibliography[edit]Works by Coaz[edit]Der Wald, Wilhelm Engleman, Leipzig, 1861, 80pp.Geschichtlich-statisticher Bericht an den hochl\u00f6bl: Grossen Rath \u00fcber das Forstwesen in Graub\u00fcnden mit besonderer Ber\u00fccksichtigung des Zeitraums von 1851\/52 bis Ende 1868, Offizin von Pradella u.
