The prestigious Alpine Journal is the oldest mountaineering journal
in the world. This 116th volume features some of the boldest
exploratory alpinism of the last year or so. An international cast
including Mick Fowler, Pat Deavoll (NZ), Freddie Wilkinson (US),
Bruce Normand (Scotland) describe first ascents in Nepal,
Afghanistan, India and China, while Italian Simone Moro reflects on
the ordeal of making the first ascent of a Karakoram 8000er in
winter. To mark the London Olympics there is a thoughtful essay by
Phil Bartlett on 'Is Mountaineering Sport?', and also a
long-overdue French admission that Bonington and Whillans were
indeed the first to the top of the Central Pillar of Freney on Mont
Blanc. The above are only a selection of what is to be found in
this richly illustrated volume. Details of new routes around the
world in an authoritative Area Notes section, scientific research
on glaciers and on carbon monoxide poisoning from camp stoves,
paintings in watercolour and oil, and lively book reviews all
contribute to the variety of this latest Alpine Journal.
