Description
A mountaineering yearbook, including articles, expedition reports, book reviews, obituaries, memoirs, geography and history. This 110th volume of the AJ looks particularly at Kangchenjunga, 50 years after the first ascent, and at the Karakoram, scene of some of the boldest alpinism of recent years. Alan Hinkes reflects on his long quest to climb all the world's 8000-metre peaks and the late Charles Evans, leader of the successful 1955 Kangchenjunga expedition, recalls his first visit to Darjeeling and the foothills of the sacred peak. Mountain ranges from Alaska to the Andes, China to Arabia are featured, plus, as ever, the Alps, with appraisals of rock fall and glaciers, and an enthralling account by John Harlin III of a new route on Mont Blanc's Innominata Arete. Heading the reviews is a critical assessment of Jim Perrin's biography of Don Whillans, The Villan, and there is a detail study of the artistic output of 1920s Everester Howard Somervell.
