Alpinist Magazine No 58.

Season:AW09

Brand:Cordee

Code:5031335

Issue 58. of the ever popular Alpinist Magazine. This issue features the life and times of Royal Robbins and how the gender gap is closing in the  upper limits of hard trad climbing.

Alpinist is an inspirational quarterly and certainly not your average climbing magazine. Produced in glossy high quality paper and featuring both cutting edge mountaineering articles and historical features. With quality you normally find in 'coffee table' hardbacks, it contains well researched and intelligent articles with stunning inspirational images. Alpinist is read for its fascinating content but is treasured for its style and good looks. Its like the National Geographic of Climbing Magazines

The pages of Alpinist capture the art of ascent in its most powerful manifestations, presenting an articulation of climbing and its lifestyle that matches the intensity of the pursuit itself.As the Alpinist Magazine team say;

"We believe in sinker jams high off the deck, a bomber nut, the crescent moon, your partner's whoop, sand-washing the fry pan, road trips, one-swing sticks, remembering to breathe, alpine starts (more for the alpenglow than the early hour), espresso in the desert, the plungestep, lenticular cloudcaps, rest days, the focus of a runout, a cold beer at the end of it all."

If that sums you up then Alpinist Magazine will be for you.

 

Features

  • Royal Robbins: In the World of Granite and Light
    • Few other names conjure more images of the Golden Age of Yosemite than that of Royal Robbins, who passed away in March. Known in climbing history for so often being first, Robbins gave Tom Patey the last word in Advanced Rockcraft: "Good climbing and good company often go together: each is essential to the enjoyment of the other." Herein, friends of Robbins share memories of the father, climber and visionary.
  • Paradigm Shift
    • In 1993 Lynn Hill's first free ascent of the Nose on El Capitan became a powerful symbol of women's ability to rock climb at the same level as men. Decades later, Caroline Treadway interviews Hill, Steph Davis, Beth Rodden, Pamela Shanti Pack and others on closing the gender gap in the upper limits of hard trad climbing.
  • Under the Influence
    • On her eleventh birthday, Claudia Camila López received a camera as a present. Since then, the Colombian-born climber has been documenting the faces of people, crags and mountains, looking to capture the elusive, invisible essence of the world.
  • Breathe Deep
    • In September 2016, a week after learning that Kyle Dempster and Scott Adamson were overdue from a climb in Pakistan, Jeff Shapiro and Chris Gibisch leave for the Kishtwar Himalaya in India. With the fate of their friends on their mind, Shapiro and Gibisch vow to "pay attention to every moment for its full value" and to be ready to turn back if the risks seem too great as they seek their way through dense forests and a chaotic icefall to the unclimbed south side of 6486-meter Brammah II.
