1857 – 2007 <\/p>\n
The mountaineering yearbook, including feature articles, expedition reports,
\nbook reviews, obituaries, arts, history and science.
\nRichly illustrated, the Alpine Journal is the world’s principal mountaineering
\nyearbook and essential reading for all who love the mountains, particularly
\nthose who climb and explore in the Greater Ranges and the Alps. <\/p>\n
This 2007 edition marks the 150th anniversary of the world famous club. <\/p>\n
One hundred and fifty years ago, the Alpine Club was born. It was the first
\nmountaineering club in the world and as this 112th volume of the Alpine
\nJournal amply demonstrates, it is still going strong. <\/p>\n
AC members have been climbing across the globe – Simon Yates and Andy Parkin
\nin Tierra del Fuego, Phil Wickens leading an AC expedition in the Pamirs,
\nMalcolm Bass rounding off the club’s extended courtship of Haizi Shan in
\nSichuan, Paul Knott, making the first ascent of South Walsh, highest unclimbed
\npeak in North America. All these stories are told, plus among others, Ian
\nParnell’s eight-day ascent of Kedar Dome’s east face, and a year in the life
\nof vagabond climber Nick Bullock. <\/p>\n
The AC’s 150th anniversary is also an occasion for some critical reflection.
\nDoug Scott and Ed Douglas weigh in on ethics and money, Peter Gillman looks at
\nscandals that have soured climbing, and award-winning author Robert Macfarlane
\nconsiders our ambivalent response to ‚the wild‘. <\/p>\n
Ken Wilson, controversialist sans pareil, provides a talking point with a
\ntable of the stand-out climbs on the highest peaks and as a glorious reminder
\nof 150 years of British mountaineering’s finest moments, we feature the words
\nand images of Gordon Stainforth’s acclaimed ‚The Crux‘ exhibition. <\/p>\n
A record of notable climbs, region-by-region, over the past year + Reviews +
\nPaintings and cartoons by Andy Parkin + 150 photographs, nearly all in colour,
\nand maps. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
