The Alpine Journal 2008

The annual round-up of whom and what’s been going on in the world of
mountaineering and alpinism during the last 12 months. This year’s journal has
more illustrations than ever before and records the gatherings and expeditions
that marked the AC’s 150th anniversary – also included is a detailed
exploration of the life of Sir Edmund Hillary.

Other highlights include a special section on ‹Pure Alpinism› by Mick Fowler,
an account by Kenton Cool and Nick Bullock of their expedition to the North
Face of Kalanka plus the usual reviews, obituaries and relevant news items.
