Description
Peru-Bolivia 2000-2011 combines ALL of the American Alpine Journal‘s reports from Peru and Bolivia in the AAJ years 2000-2011 (reflecting new routes from 1999 to 2010). This is the first-ever all-digital “country edition” from the archives of the AAJ. As such, there are a few rough edges in the styling of these PDF pages and must be considered a “beta” edition. But the content is all here and if you’re considering a climbing trip to these countries, this is a must-have edition.
The feature articles are those stories that made the front of the AAJ. These are climbs that the editors considered among the world’s most significant ascents of the year. These are listed below. But the heart of this edition is all the shorter reports from every range in these countries.
