Each summer, Rock and Ice presents its annual Road Trip issue. Our focus this year is the Rocky Mountains, a geological spine of rock and snow roughly 3,000 miles long, rising to 14,000 feet at times, beginning in Canada and petering out in New Mexico. We present the best climbing (trad, sport, bouldering, alpine) the Rockies has to offer.
In another great adventure, Jess Roskelley and Clint Helander managed the first ascent of the arduous sawblade of Mount Huntington's South Ridge.
California's Pine Creek appears in a photo essay exposing its granite cliffs.
In our ongoing tribute to 50 years of Ascent, we revisit the Eiger with Clint Eastwood in the filming of "The Eiger Sanction."
