Alpinist Magazine Issue 31 | Summer 2010 Zurück Ausgabe

Rising from one of the world's largest nonpolar icecaps, with 13,500 feet of vertical reflief, over a dozen peaks and subpeaks, countless ridges and faces, and an immense high-altitude plateau, Logan is more like a separate planet than a mere mountain. Joe Josephson unveils the eighty-five years of climbing history surrounding Canada's highest point in the Alpinist 31 Mountain Profile. And Ian Parnell discovers that even small moments and peaks can seem Himalayan amid adventures of fatherhood and the terrors of "Scottish full conditions," while Glen Denny chronicles Leigh Ortenburger's (1929-1991) ten photography expeditions to the Cordillera Blanca.
