how to find first assent records???
Posted: Fri Jul 06, 2018 11:44 am
So I have kind of a tedious question about first assents.
I can't seem to get a good source--some people mention AAJ or CAJ for Canada (which both seem to be very good at logging first assents), yet I truly have no idea how to use them or what the format is.
Bivouac.com seems to be pretty user friendly, but I have already found info to be outdated. Plus it just appears that AAJ is a much better reference as far as firsts go.
I suppose I'd like it if someone could educate me better on how to determine if a peak is climbed or not. I know some guys have hundreds of firsts in say AK, but where would one find that info in order to rule those peaks as climbed? I also know this might be a bit of a guarded topic, but figured I'd ask. Any help would be awesome.
