    Sorry for the FB link, but this is something you should be aware of if you're #climbing in #Kalymnos . A climber died because **both** of the bolts of his anchor failed while he was lowered. Action is being taken to inspect routes and close them until necessary replacements have been made. Be careful out there.And also be aware that SAR in Greece is not at the level you maybe used to at home.https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=26899152946357895&id=1050512014982009

    In this episode of the podcast, we sit down with AAC Librarian Natalie Siciliano to chat about a fascinating part of the American Alpine Club’s history: the days when you used to have to apply to be a member of the Club. The application membership system lasted for over 90 years—which means we have extensive records in our archives that feature the climbing resumes and recommendation letters from thousands of climbing's most fascinating characters. In this episode, we dive into the how and why of this application system, why it got dismantled, and what membership at the Club looks like now. Plus, we take a look at some highlights from the applications of legends like Lynn Hill, Yvon Chouinard, Ichiro Yoshizawa, and more. Learn More About Becoming an AAC Member!
