Since Alpinist Magazine likes beautiful mountain pictures my next safety submission included beautiful pictures of Washington's Mount Stewart.
I submitted numerous pictures of Mount Stewart in all its various moods for Editor Katie Ives and the art director to choose from.
At the bottom of the picture they would select I proposed having the name and date of the climber who had just lost his life on the mountain.
For the text I proposed:
Alpinists carry a long list of friends they have lost on mountains.
When I climb I look at mountains and think of all the climbers who have died needlessly because they weren't climbing safely and following the Mountaineers Code.
Sadly I never received any reply from Editor Katie Ives or the art director.
I am requesting everyone at Alpinist read this post and consider it a mountain safety submission again and be professional and reply.
