Northwest Mountaineering Journal, Issue 1, Summer 2004

The premiere issue of the Northwest Mountaineering Journal is now
available on the web. See:

http://www.nwmj.org

This issue covers new climbing routes, first winter ascents,
first ski descents, and pioneering traverses in the Cascades. It
contains historical articles about crag, alpine and big wall rock
climbing, guiding, and ski mountaineering. It also contains
profiles of Northwest mountaineers and highlights from Mount
Rainier and North Cascades National Parks. In short, it's a good
example of what we hope will be an annual publication about all
aspects of mountaineering in the Pacific Northwest.

I'd like to thank everyone who contributed photos, stories, and
information for this issue. I'd also like to thank the great
team of volunteers who edited the journal and the folks at
CascadeClimbers.com and the The Mountaineers who provided
invaluable support.

We hope you enjoy this issue and will begin looking forward to
the next one.
