Royal Robbins: In the World of Granite and Light
\nFew other names conjure more images of the Golden Age of Yosemite than that of
\nRoyal Robbins, who passed away in March. Known in climbing history for so
\noften being first, Robbins gave Tom Patey the last word in Advanced Rockcraft:
\n«Good climbing and good company often go together: each is essential to the
\nenjoyment of the other.» Herein, friends of Robbins share memories of the
\nfather, climber and visionary.<\/p>\n
Paradigm Shift
\nIn 1993 Lynn Hill’s first free ascent of the Nose on El Capitan became a
\npowerful symbol of women’s ability to rock climb at the same level as men.
\nDecades later, Caroline Treadway interviews Hill, Steph Davis, Beth Rodden,
\nPamela Shanti Pack and others on closing the gender gap in the upper limits of
\nhard trad climbing.<\/p>\n
Under the Influence
\nOn her eleventh birthday, Claudia Camila L\u00f3pez received a camera as a present.
\nSince then, the Colombian-born climber has been documenting the faces of
\npeople, crags and mountains, looking to capture the elusive, invisible essence
\nof the world.<\/p>\n
Breathe Deep
\nIn September 2016, a week after learning that Kyle Dempster and Scott Adamson
\nwere overdue from a climb in Pakistan, Jeff Shapiro and Chris Gibisch leave
\nfor the Kishtwar Himalaya in India. With the fate of their friends on their
\nmind, Shapiro and Gibisch vow to «pay attention to every moment for its full
\nvalue» and to be ready to turn back if the risks seem too great as they seek
\ntheir way through dense forests and a chaotic icefall to the unclimbed south
\nside of 6486-meter Brammah II.<\/p>\n
On Belay
\nAfter weeks of climbing in the Neacola Mountains, Drew Thayer and his partners
\neschew the convenience of a plane ride to complete an irresistible line on the
\nmap: a complete journey from summit to sea.<\/p>\n
Climbing Life
\nWhitney Clark contemplates what a few seconds are worth. Christopher Elliott
\nclimbs a rock spire on the island of Soqotra to learn more about its
\nmysterious summit cairn (three years after Mike Libecki described it in
\nAlpinist 34). Poet Ed Roberson goes to Peru. Spencer Gray catalogues the items
\nthat make a day in the «freedom of the hills» possible. Leslie Hsu Oh finds
\nfamily, strength and love on a wintry climb. Shirin Shabestari carries on in
\nher father’s tradition up Damavand, the tallest volcano in Iran.<\/p>\n
Full Value
\nIn October 1976, little more than a year after climbing the south face of Mt.
\nWatkins, with Tobin Sorenson and Gib Lewis, Rick Accomazzo returns to the
\n2,800- foot wall to take part in a major rescue attempt.<\/p>\n
Wired
\nEarly expeditions often combined the exploration of new heights with a search
\nfor rare botanical specimens. More than a century after both natural history
\nand mountaineering fractured into subdisciplines, Associate Editor Paula
\nWright explores climbing’s science gap.<\/p>\n
