Alpinist  |  Alpinist 76 | Winter 2021-22
Issue 76 features David Smart’s Mountain Profile of the 2999-meter Cima Grande (Große Zinne). Rising abruptly from the center of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo in the Dolomites, the peak became a focus of both rock-climbing innovation and political struggle. Italian climbing writer Dino Buzzati once wondered about the pale yellow walls, “Are they real, or is it a dream that is merely rotten and impassable?” Smart chronicles some of the explorations and conflicts of its storied walls, including the famous Piton Controversy, the alpine battles of World War I, the race for the first ascent of its great north face, the eras of the direttissimas and the rise of modern hard free climbing. Karin Steinbach, Alessandro Gogna, Claude Gardien and Alexander Huber add tales of sharp inflection points over the decades.
