The Canadian Alpine Journal (CAJ) is an annual Canadian publication which provides a record of the Canadian mountain ethos and mindset. The CAJ includes articles and images that reflect the ways that Canadians approach mountain culture, history, sport and science. The CAJ represents Canadian climbing from coast-to-coast, as well as what Canadian climbers are doing outside of our grand country. The information in the Journal is current and reflective of the broadest standards of style and difficulty. To the mountain community, the CAJ is a collection of writings that individually and together celebrate the precious value and the infinite possibilities of life in the mountains.
The Canadian Alpine Journal is published in July. It is a benefit of Alpine Club of Canada membership for those choosing
that option. If you would like your name added to our distribution list,
please contact the National Office at (403) 678-3200 x 1 or email
It can also be purchased directly from our Online
Store.
