After topping out on Mt. Logan's 2590m southeast face, the Giri-Giri Boys travel 42 kilometers up to the summit and down to base camp in one of the boldest alpine-style journeys in recent years. Mike Libecki chases first ascents on the islands of Yemen. An artist yearns to paint figures with "turbulent inner worlds," but struggles to find the right subject matter—until she discovers climbers. Lionel Daudet searches "not for higher summits, but for different ones" on three Antarctic expeditions. Tony Riley adds context to the historic Karakoram first ascents of the twentieth century.
