\nShocking images of climbers queuing to reach the summit of Everest this Spring
\nmade headlines around the world, begging the question where alpinism is
\nheading in an overcrowded and overheating world. the year’s Alpine Journal
\nlooks at issues around climate breakdown and the commercialisation of the
\nHimalaya but there are also plenty of inspiring climbs done in the best
\ntraditions of alpinism, including Tom Livingstone on Latok I, and Malcolm Bass
\non Janukhot. <\/p>\n
For those wanting to escape the crowds, this year’s Alpine Journal has a
\ncomprehensive guide to the unexplored peaks of west Nepal along the border
\nwith Tibet where there are still plenty of unclimbed peaks and magnificent
\nlines waiting to be discovered. And there’s a reminder from Simon Richardson
\nand Ben Tibbetts that there are still exciting new challenges in the most
\nfamiliar places, like the Mont Blanc range. <\/p>\n
Mountain historian Eric Vola looksback on more than 60 years to the suffering
\nof Jean Vincedon and Francois Henry on Mont Blanc, a tragedy that galvanised
\nFrench public opinion and changed mountain rescue for good. Italian art
\nhistorian Angelo Recalcati reflects on the mountain genius of Leonardo da
\nVinci, as the world commemorates the five hundredth anniversary of his death
\nand John Harding looks at the mountain adventures of newly discovered icon
\nAnne Lister. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
