Alpinist 24 came in the mail the other day. The first thing I did was flip through every page, drooling over the amazing pictures. Then, using all my self control, I set it down. I need to ration my daily intake of Alpinist. All I want to do is read it cover to cover on the first day but then all the excitement would be over for the next three months. So instead I read only bits and pieces at a time and savor the stories.
I just finished my daily ration of Alpinist and read the Stolbist story. I can’t believe that there is an entire culture of free solo-ers living in Siberia of all places. Naturally the pictures of Stolby were not enough and I had to find more.
Great comments and we at Alpinist were thrilled with this posting.
Can I ask what made you choose this story? Do you think something is missing from our site that we could do better?
Cheers,
DiAnne
