    American Alpine ClubA
    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!

    I know a lot of climbers and Hick is certainly representing that group of people.But, it sure seems like fixed climbing anchors are a perfect example of "permanent installations,” exactly what's banned in wilderness.Why should climbers be exempt? Because they're my friends and have fun climbing?Explain to me why it's wrong to ban permanent installations in wilderness or why climbing is special.https://coloradosun.com/2024/09/23/senators-hickenlooper-climbing-anchors-wilderness/#Colorado #wilderness #climbing
