Revelation on Mt. Kenya

Last January, Mark Jenkins found himself shivering through the night on a slender ledge high on Mt. Kenya with Justin Bowen during a first ascent on the mountain?s southwest face. In their push to summit and descend before snowfall engulfs them, Jenkins reflects on his fifty years of climbing experience and ponders his future as he comes to rely on a partner half his age.

Reading Between the Lines

After Faye Rhiannon Latham picked up a copy of F.S. Smythe?s British Mountaineers, she set out to create something new from the classic text: a collection of erasure poetry that reveals an account from the perspective of an imagined avalanche victim buried between the lines.

Holding On to Mountains

When Nathan Conroy first dreamed of climbing El Monstruo, the tallest wall in the Cocham region of Chile, he was unaware of the environmental threats to the area. As he returns over the years, Conroy witnesses the mounting challenges from various industries and learns what it means to love and advocate for a place at risk.

Onward and Upward

Since Eleanor Davis made the first female ascent of the Grand Teton in 1923, countless women have taken the lead in the range. Julie Ellison shares stories of nine influential Teton women: Irene Beardsley, Jane Baldwin, Patty McDonald, Jean Dempsey, Bev Boynton, Catherine Cullinane, Evelyn Lees, Kit DesLauriers and Dana Larkin.
