The World’s Most Significant Climbs
Published annually since 1929, the American Alpine Journal is internationally
renowned as the world’s journal of record for major climbs of all kinds.
Feature articles include the most compelling stories, told by the climbers
themselves. The year’s greatest first ascents are documented, from Antarctica
to Afghanistan, and from Patagonia to Pakistan.
This year, the AAJ continues to expand its coverage of rock climbing and new
routes in the United States. This includes a major story about the history,
recent climbing, and new-route potential of little-known Alpine gem, Cloud
Peak in Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains.
Go beyond online news and Facebook posts with in-depth reports on major
climbs, written by the climbers themselves, with dozens of new climbing
destinations around the world revealed.
