Alpinist  |  Issue 45 | Winter 2013-14
In October 2013, Ueli Steck astounded the international climbing community with a rapid solo on Annapurna's South Face. But for him, the ascent was a kind of private nocturnal pilgrimage, influenced by the recollection and example of departed heroes. Find his reflections in "Journey into Night." Glimpse photographer Jon Griffith's vision of the "Edges of Land and Light." Learn how Raphael Slawinski weighed the aftermath of the Nanga Parbat terror attacks and the objective hazards of the unclimbed K6 West to gain a new understanding of risk. And fall in love with Jeremy Collin's own love story, involving a green van, a desert wall, a granite dome, years of sickness and health, and a marriage that becomes like "an ever evolving painting."
