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. Steve Roper told us that this was always his favorite issue.
