Published annually since 1929, The American Alpine Journal is renowned as the
world’s journal of record for long new climbs of all kinds. The AAJ publishes
each year’s most compelling stories, told by the climbers themselves and
carefully edited by a team of experts. Each year we also reveal many newly
discovered climbing destinations, from Alaska to the Karakoram. 368 pages.

AAJ 2019 features first-person stories about groundbreaking climbs around the
world, from the Rocky Mountains to the Himalaya and beyond, plus a story about
the dangers of melting permafrost in the Alps, an essay on the future of
cutting-edge climbing in the Alaska Range, and a 22-page special report on the
untapped climbing potential of western Nepal. Hundreds of reports document
first ascents and mountain exploration around the world.
