The Northwest Mountaineering Journal is a beautifully produced online journal published annually since 2004 by a team of volunteers, with support from the Mountaineers and CascadeClimbers.com. The 2009 issue of the NWMJ has just been released, with eight feature stories and a compilation of new climbing routes and first ski descents from April 1, 2008, through March 31, 2009. Congratulations to AAC member and lead editor Lowell Skoog and his all-volunteer team: Ralph Bodenner, Steve Firebaugh, Alex Krawarik, Matt Perkins, Rad Roberts, Steve Smith, Curt Veldhuisen, Gary Yngve, and Aaron Zabriskie.
