ALPINIST #74 ... excellent issue

I just got my issue in the mail a few days ago, and so I have not really dug deeply yet, but I am excited and delighted to have it on my bedside table. Reading Doug Robinson's essay, evokes memories of my own climbing mentors as well as memories of past Sierra adventures. (Of course, I am leaving for the Sierras in two weeks, so it is also causing me to salivate for what is to come.)

Other articles I am looking forward to are: the mountain profile of Slesse, a short missive about hobnail boots, climbing reflections on the Needles in the Black Hills of South Dakota, and an article by mountaineering historian Bernadette McDonald.
