Ascent was initiated as the mountaineering journal of the Sierra Club. It appeared occasionally over the years. Each issue is a collection of excellent writing about mountaineering, fiction, fact and poetry as well as photography and art related to mountains. Large format paper with full color covers has cover wear. Very Good condition.
