Jim Donini 
Setting new free-climbing standards in Yosemite Valley in the early seventies, Jim Donini's career has continued by pioneering hard alpine climbing in Patagonia, Alaska, Karakoram Himalaya, China, Peru, Venezuela and Antarctica. A former Exum guide and a founder of American Mountain Guides Association, in 1999 Jim was awarded the prestigious Underhill Award by the American Alpine Club for outstanding mountaineering achievement. Jim continues to seek out challenging alpine rock routes, and will be returning to the Fitzroy massif this fall, more than 30 years since his first Patagonian adventure. Notable cutting edge first ascents include Torre Egger (1976), Latok I (1978), and in Alaska The Diamond Arete, Mt. Hunter (1985), Cobra Pillar, Mt. Barille (1988), South Face, Mt. Bradley (1994) and "Shaken not Stirred", an ice couloir on the Moose's Tooth, (1997) and in Patagonia, the north faces of Poincenot (1996) and Cerro Pollone (1999). |
