ISSUE 20 FEATURES
First Light The High Sierra at night not only provided one climber a means to
make alpine days longer; it also gave him heroes, a glimpse of enchantment and
a deeper understanding of his own potential. Peter Croft
Borderline A Slovenian’s quest for the boundaries of single-push climbing
brought him to the base of Cho Oyu. After witnessing a murder, he found the
edge of humanity instead. Pavle Kozjek
Squat Thuggery, coarse crystals and bad attitudes: in Vedauwoo, Wyoming, ugly
is a state of mind. Pete Takeda
Gone In 2006, loss pervaded the climbing community. One woman searches for
healing in the midst of a terrible year. Kim Csizmazia
Enlightenment The Greek origins of the word ‹photography› literally translate:
‹to draw with light.› As a young photographer struggles to read light, he
discovers he can write it instead. Keith Ladzinski

Alpinist is a superb quarterly. Each issue includes a Faces section profiling
a historic mountaineer, a Mountain Profile section covering the history of a
particular peak, Letters, Climbing Notes, and additional feature articles
about unique climbs. What sets Alpinist apart from other climbing magazines is
the prodigious use of full-page color photos and minimal advertising. Alpinist
is not just a magazine, it’s a collectible!
