Wild #197 is here, full of Australia’s best adventure, conservation and wilderness opinion writing. In this issue we have a focus on alpinism and mountaineering with stories such as ‘The Flight of Icarus’, which explores the ramifications of a near miss while climbing in NZ; a photo essay on climbing in Bolivia; a beautiful story on Nepal’s Ama Dablam; a piece that delves into the psychology of why climbers climb; and a Q+A with Australian mountaineer Allie Pepper.
We also look at hiking in Tassie’s Du Cane Range, in WA’s D'Entrecasteaux NP, and in the Vic High Country; a bike rafting trip from Montenegro; a north-to-south transect by packraft across the entirety of Tasmania; and environmental stories on the plight of Tassie’s ancient trees and on the rare filling of Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre. Of course, as always, there are our regular columnists, Green Pages, gear reviews, Wild Shot, and more.
