Here they are. Most of them anyway. I think there are 14 issues of Ascent. I thought I was only missing two, but I seem to only have 11. Oh well...maybe someone will come up with the missing ones. I reduced the size so they were easier to load.
Volume 1, Number 3, May 1969
Front: Mt. Waddington in winter from the South.
Back: South Ridge of Mt. Foraker

Beautiful collection Greg. Some of those I've never seen, much less fondled and read.

Thanks SS for posting up the missing two from the late 60's. Dang, I'd sure like to get my hands on those...
14th is the best of...that makes sense. I'll try to remember to scan that and stick it in here as well. I just didn't have time to dig through the shelves to find it last night.
Classic stuff!

Many thanks. It's great to see all of these.
Some of these shots have had real, pervasive, lasting
impacts on many of us.

Well put, "real, pervasive, lasting impacts".
This is also the most rewarding aspect of community.
Long live Super Taco!

Do you mean Off Belay magazine? I recall reading a few issues, very ANAM and safety-oriented. I had to look an old accident up once and there it was, not in ANAM but in a back issue of Off Belay that I found in the AAC library in Golden.

Nope, not Off Belay. It's the relatively unknown Belayer Magazine, who's name was transmuted to Hot Belayer magazine before the second issue.
I'll post up the only known issue later on...

Or how about "Stone the Crows" for rarity, though, admittedly the cover art was not much.
