Alpinist Magazine Issue 64 – Winter 2018 \/ 2019 – An Invisible Compass<\/p>\n
Features:
\nAll from Nothing
\nForty years ago, Jim Donini, Michael Kennedy, George Lowe and Jeff Lowe made
\nan attempt on the North Ridge of Latok I that became a legend. Decades later,
\nthe peak has dominated headlines again: in July 2018, Alexander Gukov and
\nSergey Glazunov reached a new highpoint before an accident resulted in
\nGlazunov’s death; in early August, Ale\u0161 \u010cesen, Luka Stra\u017ear and Tom
\nLivingstone summited the mountain by a variation of the North Ridge; and later
\nthat month, back in Colorado, Jeff Lowe passed away, after a long struggle
\nwith illness. Herein, Livingstone, Gukov and Donini reflect on the events of
\nthis season and some of the history that continues to reverberate in the
\nclimbing world today.<\/p>\n
The Elixir
\nAs climbing artist Sarah Uhl paints mountains, she seeks to capture more than
\njust their physical outlines\u2014the essence of the wild itself.<\/p>\n
The Secret of Silence
\nFrom the muting of opposition by the Communist regime of 1970s Poland, to the
\nquiet of remote wild places in the Himalaya and the Arctic, Polish big-wall
\nclimber Marek Raganowicz has experienced many different varieties of silence.
\nIn 2017, during a winter expedition to the vast granite of Baffin Island, amid
\nthe intense cold and frequent solitude, he encountered his most moving
\nexperience of stillness yet.<\/p>\n
Life Compass
\nIn March 2018, Brette Harrington’s life partner, Marc-Andr\u00e9 Leclerc, died in
\nthe Mendenhall Towers of Alaska, with Ryan Johnson. About a month later, she
\ntraveled to the Canadian Rockies to immerse herself in the wintry alpine
\nlandscapes that remind her most of him. Exploring unclimbed terrain on Mt.
\nBlane, accompanied by Rose Pearson, she tries to reorient herself within the
\nvoid of all she has lost. <\/p>\n

\non a winter attempt of Sisnaajin\u00ed (Blanca Peak), one of the four major sacred
\npeaks of Din\u00e9tah, the Din\u00e9 homeland. In the process, Necefer hopes to discuss
