Alpinist Magazine Issue 63 – Autumn 2018<\/p>\n
In Alpinist 63, you\u2019ll find the second and final part of our series on the
\nhistory of Nanda Devi and nearby peaks in India\u2019s Garhwal Himalaya. Pete
\nTakeda\u2019s effort to trace a mysterious rumor involving a covert CIA operation
\non the sacred mountain known as the headwaters of the Ganges, as well as to
\ninvestigate expeditions\u2019 environmental effects from 1940 through the Cold War
\nto the present day, proves nearly as monumental as Nanda Devi herself.
\nIncluded also are the insightful contributions of environmental humanities
\nprofessor Meera Baindur, world-renowned alpinists Julie-Ann Clyma and Martin
\nMoran and Piolets d\u2019Or Asia Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Harish
\nKapadia, who explore the legends and communities swirling like unsettled snow
\naround the summits of Nanda Devi, Nanda Devi East and Nanda Kot. <\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the issue, Katsutaka \u201cJumbo\u201d Yokoyama offers an in-depth look
\ninto the first ascent of Sun Patch Spur, a nearly six-kilometer-long linkup of
\nK7 West and Badal Peak in the Karakoram Range of Pakistan. In \u201cThrough the
\nCanvas,\u201d Canadian artist Jenna Robinson probes the subtle balance of light and
\ntexture in alpine landscapes. And you\u2019ll certainly rethink bailing\u2014in more
\nthan one sense\u2014upon reading Doug McCarty\u2019s account of the frostbite-inducing
\nNew Year\u2019s Eve he spent on the summit of Montana\u2019s Granite Peak in 1972, or
\nSzu-ting Yi\u2019s recollection of her ambitious attempt to traverse 43 peaks along
\nthe Continental Divide in Wyoming\u2019s Wind River Range.<\/p>\n
The whimsy in Whitney Clark\u2019s and Jerry Auld\u2019s mountain writing promises
\ncontemplative inspiration, while David Stevenson and Shawnt\u00e9 Salabert both
\ncomb through past geographies in search of more than simple answers. And Paula
\nWright celebrates the community-oriented spirit of longtime rescuer Maryanne
\nReiter, while Katherine Indermaur celebrates the spirit of vulnerability at
\nthe heart of Indian Creek in southeastern Utah.\u2014and much, much more\u2026.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
