This is almost too much for those who love reading about, planning and going on alpine and big wall trips.

The American Alpine Club have put the American Alpine Journal online, it's searchable, it's free. Currently volumes back to 1966 are now available in this first roll out. All articles available as pdf's

Full details at UKClimbing.com's news page.. http://www.ukclimbing.com/news/

Mick, I know your keen for news but there was a thread about this last week with much muttering about yet another way not to work

How about getting some 'foreign' news from the likes of kairn or tvmountain ?

Fully aware of that Doug. There are often threads about news items that we run. As I've said before, not everyone reads the forums, some just the news page, and some just from links in the weekly newsletter. We also like to give a bit more information, rather than just a link. I actually contacted Phil Powers and Gary Landeck, head librarian at the American Alpine Club’s Henry S. Hall Library in Golden, CO last week. In addition we highlight news down the forums by the caps NEWS, which makes it easier for readers to find news.

Now working on a Chamonix report written for us.

Cheers,

Mick

I think his point was: why didn't you run it as a news item last week?

My point would be, I missed it and I'm interested so why the problem? Good news and a worthy news item I say

Yes, some of us don't spend all day looking at all the threads that are started. So well done Mick.

Busy Paz....busy on all kinds of UKC stuff. Still it's all there now.

Bit of background about the AAC (not everyone is familiar with them), stuff about the Journal, quote from John and Phil, some background on who did what, links to it, a promise of more and an example of a search.

Have fun perusing it.

Maybe the AC will be next
