Northwest Mountaineering Journal

The Northwest Mountaineering Journal (NWMJ) is an annual, online journal started in 2004 by Lowell Skoog to serve as a record of new climbs and ski descents, as well as to provide articles and stories pertinent to mountaineering in the Pacific Northwest of North America. The journal is run by volunteers and is available for free. The Mountaineers hosts the NWMJ.
Historically, new routes were reported in the Mountaineers Annual through 1995. The American Alpine Journal documents routes around the world, including from Washington, but requires that routes be of at least a minimum seriousness (grade IV). Online interaction through forums such as CascadeClimbers.com, aerial photography by John Scurlock,[1] and a critical mass of active climbers has helped spur a renaissance of route development and exploration, many of which are less than a grade IV, but there was not a venue for documenting these routes for posterity.
