Limited Edition Hardcover: The 2013 hardcover edition of the AAJ is dedicated to desert climbing pioneers Harvey Carter and Layton Kor, both of whom passed away while the AAJ was in production.
This hardcover AAJ is an exclusive, limited-edition book, and only 150 were printed. Each book is hand-signed by Huntley Ingalls, who partnered with Kor on the two most important climbs in the Utah desert: Castleton Tower and the Titan (climbs which paved the way for Harvey Carter and others yet to come). Steve "Crusher" Bartlett's photo of the Fisher Towers adorns the inside cover, and each copy also contains a special Collector's Edition gloss insert with an essay written by Huntley Ingalls, entitled "The Colorado Plateau".
Don't miss your chance to own this limited-edition collectors' AAJ, the first full-color edition in the publications' history.
