Crag Profile: Hyalite Canyon
\nIn the early 1970s, a college professor and a band of scruffy youths stumbled
\nupon one of the largest collections of icefalls in North America. But the
\ndense trees, deep snowdrifts and complex landscape of Montana’s Hyalite Canyon
\nwould reveal its secrets slowly\u2014and only to those willing to wander. Joe
\nJosephson narrates forty-one years of ongoing quests, while Pat Callis, Doug
\nMcCarty, Jennifer Lowe-Anker, Jack Tackle and Whit Magro recount the joys of
\ngetting lost in the woods. Joe Josephson <\/p>\n
Still on the Easel
\nClimbing artist John Svenson has devoted nearly half a century to exploring
\nmixed media and wild landscapes, from watercolor to molten glass, and from
\nstormy ridges to spidery rainforests. His conclusions? Everyone should draw,
\nand an adventurous life can represent our most aesthetic creation. Herein,
\nsome visual results. John Svenson <\/p>\n
The Thin White Line
\nFor British alpinist Ian Parnell, the white cliffs of Dover, England, were a
\nfamiliar emblem of home and cultural identity. But as he began to delve into
\nthe first-ascent history of these crumbling headlands, he grew less and less
\nsure of what those ideas meant. Faced with the contrasting legacy of a late
\nVictorian occultist and a modern taxman\u2014and the hazards of both their
\nroutes\u2014he struggled for balance between the darker side of climbing and the
\nlight. Ian Parnell <\/p>\n
In Search of Lost Summits
\nGrowing up in a tenement on the outskirts of Madrid, Javier Selva took refuge
\nin old books about faraway lands. After seeing historic photos and paintings
\nof Alaska in a private library, he spent the next decades of his life pursuing
\na mountain that seemed at once the symbol of a mythic past and the gateway to
\nhis own transcendence. Javier Selva <\/p>\n
Off Belay
\nFrom the solo first ascent of the southwest pillar of the Petit Dru (3733m) to
\nthe first ascent of Gasherbrum IV (7925m), Walter Bonatti (1930-2011)
\ntransformed every realm of alpine climbing. He will remain one of our
\ncommunity’s most enduring heroes. The Editors <\/p>\n
On Belay: Finding Solace
\nChris Van Leuven realizes that climbing gives us a home in the most precarious
\nplaces. Matt Samet elucidates the true meaning of nonsensical route names.
