ON THE EARL. Before there was Hersey or Honnold, there was Earl Wiggins.
FIELD TESTED. Women's harnesses: A to Z.
CLIFF NOTES. Poudre Canyon, Colorado. Stretching 60 miles from Ted's Place to Cameron Pass, this canyon has been a granite destination for decades.

    In this issue's mega feature, Andrew Bisharat writes that Adam Ondra is an experimenter. A pragmatic visionary. Naturally ambitious. He trains methodically and uses what is at his disposal to better his craft. When Ondra finally sent his 5.15d project, he named it "Silence." Why? After the send, he said he felt "like he was in his own world, with his mind in complete silence."
    In this same issue, Geof Childs ends his story "Leviathan" feeling himself to be a "great, silent thump at the end of the universe." "Leviathan" fictional mountaineering story is funny and tragic, with classic characters, to boot.
     Field tested in this issue shares information about four companies' cams and what distinguishes each of them.

    In this issue, Self Made Superman, Ueli Steck, made speed soloing look so easy it almost seemed safe. This definitive profile brings to life the fastest man in the mountains who insisted on paying for his own expeditions.
    Also in this issue, feast your eyes on Quebec's boulders and crags in this living color photo essay.
    We go back in time with another epic from Ascent's 50-year anniversary. Mirror, Mirror describes the first huge ascent on the feared Troll Wall in Norway.
    Emily Weinstein takes you on a lyrical journey to Joshua Tree  that weaves in a bit of madness and solitude. 
    We also review some of the top approach shoes hitting the market, and Training shows you how to strengthen your other links to improve your climbing.

    Each summer, Rock and Ice presents its annual Road Trip issue. Our focus this year is the Rocky Mountains, a geological spine of rock and snow roughly 3,000 miles long, rising to 14,000 feet at times, beginning in Canada and petering out in New Mexico. We present the best climbing (trad, sport, bouldering, alpine) the Rockies has to offer.
    In another great adventure, Jess Roskelley and Clint Helander managed the first ascent of the arduous sawblade of Mount Huntington's South Ridge.
    California's Pine Creek appears in a photo essay exposing its granite cliffs.
    In our ongoing tribute to 50 years of Ascent, we revisit the Eiger with Clint Eastwood in the filming of "The Eiger Sanction."

Rock and Ice pays tribute to Royal Robbins, who forged and defined the game of climbing with his relentless vision demanding climbing on the rock's terms. In "A Royal Salute,"  some of Robbin's closest partners share some of their stories.

In "Mountains of Realization," Conrad Anker recounts his heart attack during his attempt on Lunag-Ri. Anker questions his motivation and its affect on his familial duties.

In this issue, Rock and Ice rolls out its new gear-review testing program: 50 pitches or 50 days. Each piece of equipment you read about in Field Tested will reveal the nuances that separate the good stuff from the great stuff.

   Assembled in the 50th anniversary edition of Ascent is an all-star case, a curated selection of the finest writings in the canon of climbing literature. First appearing in 1967 in Berkeley, Ascent spearheaded a genre that we take for granted today - climbing literature.
    The brainchild of the visionary editors and climbers Allen Steck and Steve Roper, Ascent published writing that moved beyond summit reports and route descriptions and into experiential, experimental and "the beauty, whimsy and sheer visual delight of mountaineering."
    Ascent appeared sporadically over 32 years before it was resurrected by Rock and Ice in 2011. Even Steck has contributed to the current iteration, and in 2016, Jeff Long's "Searching for Superman" won a Banff Mountain Book Competition. 
    Sit back and enjoy the 2017 Ascent with stories pulled from the past as well as new tales of the vertical world.

In the Rock and Ice April issue, Andy Anderson's profile of Kyle Dempster grapples with not only why Dempster took risks, but why he curated risk to his family.
