Featured in this issue:
Via Sedna
Against the odds, a team of eight women who speak different languages coalesced to overcome months of stormy seas on a fifteen-meter sailboat and climb a new route on Northern Sun Spire in Greenland—with only three days of clear weather for the ascent and descent. Caro North tells the story of how her dream came true.
Observations of Change
As an artist, Claire Giordano documents a changing landscape on Mt. Baker through swaths of color. As a human, her trips to the receding ice are a solemn chance to reflect on the overwhelming impacts of climate change on mountain landscapes and the communities that depend on them. In this art essay, she explores the “odd dichotomy” of her emotions.
Playing His Own Game
Edmund February found success in both the mountains and academia despite being a climber of color during South Africa’s apartheid. Herein, Brandon Blackburn interviews February about how he overcame racist norms to pursue his passions, always playing his own game.
Reflections in the Ice
Nikki Smith has been documenting Utah ice with photography and guidebooks for more than a quarter of a century. But a year ago, after grieving the losses of too many friends, she began to question her direction and struggled to do something she used to love. Then she realized that the unique landscapes and ice formations hold some of her most cherished memories.
