goatboy Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) The NWMJ (NWMJ) is soliciting photos for an upcoming feature story about glacial recession and its impact on climbing routes in the NW. The intention is to compare older photos (i.e. 70's-90's, or even older is great) with more recent images. It's important to try to find pictures that fairly illustrate the change or lack of change in given routes, so late-season photos (i.e. Aug or Sept) might better illustrate that change than comparing April 1975 to April 2010 (probably very similar due to snowcover). We have compiled a list of suggested routes/regions which might best serve this purpose. - South side (unnamed) glacier on Forbidden - Formidable north side glaciers - North side of northern Pickets (Fury, Swiss, etc) - North side of southern Pickets (McMillan Cirque glaciers) - Dana glacier on Dome - Colchuck Glacier (access to Serpentine Arete) - NE Face Fury/N Buttress area - Torment, glacier access to SE Face - Buckner N Face Couloir (not standard N Face proper) - Price Glacier, Shuksan - NW Face N Ridge Forbidden - N Face Maude - Kautz Glacier on Rainier - Colonial and Neve Glacier - steep and cracked If you have relevant photos of other routes in other (NW) regions, those would be welcomed as well. We will choose from the total compilation and publish only some of the submissions, with the author's permission. There is no compensation for getting your photo published other than the fortune and glory of being a part of the NWMJ, and the envy of your peers. To submit photos, email me at alpinejustice AT gmail.com and include: MONTH AND DATE and what ROUTE or REGION is pictured. Feel free to reply to this thread with suggestions for other routes/regions, or questions about what we're seeking. Anyone that wants to post their (relevant!) images here in this thread is also invited to do so. Thanks in advance, Steve Edited March 3, 2010 by goatboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatboy Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 THANKS to everyone who has already submitted images. I'd like to reiterate that we are mostly seeking OLDER images (i.e. 70's, 80's, even 90's), since CURRENT images are easier to come by. However, we welcome any of your images of the listed routes. Thanks! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summitchaserCJB Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I don't see anything about only wanting older photos in the first post. Thanks for clarifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
