Abstract
Among the many updates on mountaineering in the greater ranges in summer and fall 2023: Samson Zebturiah Barner is arrested near Smith Rock in central Oregon for taking several weapons to a climbing event. Three climbers open a new route on Pik Alpinist in Kyrgyzstan. A brief review of the New York Times article on the discovery of Janet Johnson’s camera on Aconcagua 50 years after she and John Cooper died there. On Everest, 3,600 climbers attempted the peak in 2023; eighteen died, 100 years after the biggest Everest mystery of all: the disappearance of Mallory and Irvine. Three Americans climb Jannu. Two British climbers summit Surma-Sarovar, and two climbers top out on Yansa Tsenji. Another look at Kristin Harila’s behavior around a dying porter on K2, and a postscript about the death of Harila’s companion Tenjen Sherpa. Audrey Salkeld, a British mountaineering historian, died October 11, 2023.
