American Alpine Journal 2017

Jammed with photos and maps, the annual American Alpine Journal (AAJ) is the
world’s most comprehensive and respected source for information about major
new climbs and expeditions.

• The AAJ goes beyond blogs, Facebook posts, and video clips with in-depth
reports on major climbs, written by the climbers themselves.

• Our “Recon” section covers the history, recent climbing activity, and new-
route potential of a wild area. This year: the big granite walls of the Cirque
of the Unclimbables in Canada.

• The 2017 edition is dedicated to Jeff Lowe, with an exclusive essay by this
visionary climber.

Published annually since 1929, the American Alpine Journal is renowned as the
world’s journal of record for major climbs. The AAJ publishes each year’s most
compelling climbing stories, told by the climbers themselves. In Climbs &
Expeditions, we document the year’s greatest first ascents, from Alaska to
Afghanistan, and from Patagonia to Pakistan.
