Synopsis

<P>With restrictions on travel easing, the world's leading alpinist were able to return to the high mountains with renewed enthusiasm. This year's Alpine Journal reports on several of the highlights, including first ascents on Tengkangpoche and Jugal Spire in Nepal: inspiring new routes by British teams climbed in the best style.

This year is also the centenary of the 1922 Everest Expedition, celebrated in this edition with art of Everest and a report from the Alpine Club's successful exhibition featuring images and artefacts from its valuable collections. More recent heritage also features, with Abbie Garrington capturing the moment in history when rock music and the mountain world enjoyed a fascinating synergy.

In another year of record temperatures and shocking images of glacial retreat from drying mountains, Sturart Dunning reports on the jaw dropping Ronti landslide in the Nanda Devi region and the role of climate change in such events. Cath Flitcroft reports on the BMC's developing environmental work and how climbers face the travel conundrum.

Big wall legend John Middendorf writes on the early history of the piton, Eric Vola reveals how Raymond Lambert lost his toes and Simon Pierse remembers the life of Wilfred Noyce. With reports, reviews, and comment from around the globe, the Alpine Journal has everything the dedicated Alpinist needs to inspire and reflect.
