The AAJ goes beyond social media and "hot flashes" news with in-depth reports carefully edited by a team of experts

Expanded climbing history section

Published annually since 1929, the American Alpine Journal (AAJ) is renowned as the journal of record for long new climbs of all kinds. Lavishly illustrated with color photos and maps, the AAJ is where the world's leading climbers tell the stories of their biggest routes--the climbs that will be tomorrow's legends. Each year we reveal dozens of newly discovered climbing destinations and unclimbed summits, from Alaska to the Karakoram. All reports are carefully edited by a team of experts, ensuring accuracy and objective reporting.
