THE 2003 AMERICAN ALPINE JOURNAL

The AAJ is the reference for anyone planning anything new in the mountains or
venturing into remote ranges. The lead stories for 2003 include a survey of a
huge range in eastern Tibet where nearly every summit is unclimbed, three
perspectives on new routing on Mexico’s massive El Gigante, Sean Easton’s
gripping tale of the first ascent of Mt. Dickey’s Blood From Stone route, Alun
Hubbard’s multi-year sailing and climbing journey to Antarctica, Mike
Libecki’s forty-day solo odyssey for a giant new route in east Greenland,
Stefan Glowacz describing why they climb new routes from the ground up in the
eastern Alps, and so much more. About 300 photographs, many with route
overlays, and 20 locator maps.
