Features in this Issue

  • A PhD in the School of Rock and Snow

    By Lauren Watson
    There is an old saying "those who cannot do, teach." The ACMG is an exception; you have to be able to do both.
  • Bubba's Alpine Album

    By By Barry Blanchard
    The perfection of the climbing touched me. It was like my imagination had merged into reality and my dreams had left the vault of my mind to create the ice and granite that I was ascending.
  • The Diggers

    By Jeremy Frimer and Suzanne Jolly
    While steep, hard climbs are naturally cleaner, moderate routes are covered in vegetation. To become rock climbs, they require the work of the Diggers, a leaderless, non-organized collective of otherwise ordinary climbers.
  • Mammut Photo Contest

    Mammut Photo Contest Winners

The Rack

  • Ascenders

    With their increased efficiency and consistent all-weather performance, mechanical ascenders have almost eliminated the need for traditional prusiks for aid climbing, complex haul systems and emergency rescue. And while all ascenders are capable of moving up a fixed rope, models specifically designed for particular climbing situations are likely to be more efficient and easier to use.
