Laxaþjóð | A Salmon Nation

Our relationship with nature not only defines our history, it shapes our future, too. Yet beneath the surface of Iceland’s fjords, an industrial fish farming method threatens to destroy one of Europe’s last remaining wildernesses. Laxaþjóð | A Salmon Nation tells the story of a country united by its lands and waters, and the power of a community to protect the wild places and animals that helped forge its identity.

The Master’s Apprentice: Yvon Chouinard on Climbing with Fred Beckey

Patagonia  /  January 16, 2012  /  1 Min Read  /  Climbing

In honor of the release of Fred Beckey’s 100 Favorite North American Climbs from Patagonia Books, we recorded a short audio story in which Yvon Chouinard talks about his alpine apprenticeship with sensei Fred Beckey in 1961.

Fred Beckey’s 100 Favorite North American Climbs is available now from patagonia.com and select book sellers. In the book, Fred offers up his characteristic mix of route tips, natural history and climbing lore for his 100 favorite climbs (with honorable mentions of a few more)—it’s the magnum opus of America’s most prolific first ascensionist.
