The Alpine Journal is the oldest mountaineering periodical in the world,
\ncreated as a record of mountain exploration and culture, and its 153rd
\npublication celebrates some of the outstanding ascents of 2015.<\/p>\n
Two of Britain’s best younger alpinists, Will Sim and Ben Silvestre, describe
\nhard first ascents in Alaska, while a third, Andy Houseman, has an account of
\nthe first ascent of Link Sar West in the Karakoram, beautifully illustrated by
\nJon Griffith.<\/p>\n
The celebrated Italian mountaineer Simone Moro details his first winter ascent
\nof Nanga Parbat, after scores of attempts by himself and many others. There is
\nalso Mick Fowler’s account of the first ascent of Gave Ding in far western
\nNepal, exploratory mountaineering of the highest order. The Journal also
\nrecords exploration in the Andes, Pakistan, Zanskar, Tajikistan and two
\nexpeditions to Greenland. <\/p>\n
The Journal also has some exceptional writing on more cultural topics. Abbie
\nGarrington looks at George Mallory’s correspondence with his admirer Marjorie
\nHolmes, while we also publish for the first time a long and revealing letter
\nJack Longland wrote from Everest in 1933. Jim Milledge describes the career of
\nStanhope Speer, pioneer in mountain medicine and noted spiritualist, while
\nJohn Porter recalls his months spent working for Ken Wilson, climbing
\npublisher and force of nature.<\/p>\n
The editor of the Alpine Journal is Ed Douglas, a writer, editor and climber.
\nHe is the author of eight books on mountaineering, travel and adventure,
\nincluding the first full-length biography of Tenzing Norgay. He has a
\nparticular passion for the Himalaya and the Peak District, and is at work on
\nbooks about both.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
