The only monthly magazine published in the U.S. devoted to mountaineering fortunately covers all phases. Articles range from accounts of "treks" in Nepal and even more remote areas to logs and descriptions of spectacular climbing achievements. Of special interest has been their publication of good medical articles pertinent to conditions such as altitude, cold, and fatigue.

Summit Magazine was founded in 1955 by Jean Crenshaw and Helen Kilness. Originally focused on skiing, it "gradually became the nation's magazine for discourse on all things mountain," wrote John Harlan III — editor of the magazine in the 1990s — in Summit's Summer 1995 issue.
Within the magazine, reports on cutting-edge first ascents in the mountains and on technical rock ran alongside everyman trip reports about the local hills.
David Roberts served as the Rocky Mountain editor for a time, and Royal Robbins spent decades as the rock climbing editor. The list of illustrious climbers that wrote for or were featured in Summit during Jean and Helen's 35 year tenure is a veritable who's who of 20th century American climbing: Yvon Chouinard, Fred Beckey, Alrene Blum, Galen Rowell, Layton Kor. The list goes on and on.
