Peter Foster describes the climbing life of C F Meade, Leo Dickinson shares his picturesque life of as a documentary filmmaker and Nicholas Hurndall Smith takes on the mantle of the illustrious Leslie Stephen.With mountains increasingly under the media spotlight as climate change alters their very fabric, Julian Attwood has a detailed prescription for how the mountains of Wales could be returned to their former glory, locking up carbon and improving biodiversity. Alton Byers reports on how another mountain environment has done better than you might imagine.With reports, reviews, art and comment from around the globe, the Alpine Journal has everything the dedicated alpinist needs to inspire and reflect.…
