American Alpine Journal

The American Alpine Journal (AAJ) has published reports of new routes in Washington forever. About 80 years or so.

 

This has been "the record" of what they call "significant climbs" and it is a very worthy project. They publish reports of climbs world wide, and thus they do not report every new one pitch climb at our favorite local crag but focus on longer routes. Submissions generally are to be grade III or grade IV or higher.

 

This year, I noticed just a couple new routes in Washington that were posted on cc.com or anywhere else that I watch that met these criteria. Any reports would be welcome.

 

I need information right now. Somebody else was going to undertake this project but they may not have done so.

 

Any tips?

I got an email from John Harlin about it. Maybe he's working on compiling everything?

John Harlin is the editor this year. Address him as "Senor Harlin." He likes that. He is hoping we can provide good info. Now.
