American Alpine Journal 2016

The World’s Most Significant Climbs

Published annually since 1929, the American Alpine Journal is renowned as the
world’s journal of record for major climbs of all kinds. The journal includes
the most compelling stories, told by the climbers themselves. The Climbs &
Expeditions section documents the year’s greatest first ascents, from Alaska
to Afghanistan, and from Patagonia to Pakistan. Beyond blogs, Facebook posts,
and video clips, the American Alpine Journal offers in-depth reports on major
climbs, written by the climbers.

The 2016 edition is dedicated to Fred Beckey, with a unique look back at his
amazing career. The Recon section covers the history, recent climbing
activity, and new-route potential of Alaska’s little-known Neacola Mountains.
