Alpinist Magazine Alpinist 67 | Autumn 2019 Back Issue

Inside Alpinist 67 are more than 114 pages of finely crafted essays and beautifully curated photos of elusive and wild vertical landscapes. Featuring a Mountain Profile of Mt. Kennedy, Mt. Hubbard and Mt. Alverstone by David Stevenson. Forming part of the boundary between Alaska and the Yukon, the St. Elias Range can seem both “remote” and nearly “empty,” as Stevenson writes. But these expanses of mountains, ice, rock and snows are layered with stories of human journeys, from the landscape tales of Indigenous Tlingit people to the adventures of generations of famous climbers—including a first ascent by the senator Robert F. Kennedy, a few years before his assassination. Anna Chiburis, Andrea Rankin, Jack Tackle and Barry Blanchard also share moments from the vast history of this intense and haunting place. Elsewhere in the magazine, Jim Reynolds recounts his experience free soloing both up and down the 3405-meter spire of Fitz Roy in Patagonia. Katie Ives chronicles phantom mountains.
