2012 AAJ Limited Edition with Renan Ozturk Art

Take home this piece of climbing history! Each year the AAC publishes the American Alpine Journal, chronicling major climbs and expeditions, but we only print a few of these limited edition hard cover books, with special art. This 2012 AAJ features a stunning Renan Ozturk painting of the Garhwal Himalaya. This book is #77/150 and is hand signed by Renan.

About Renan Ozturk: Renan lives to tell stories about our connection to the natural world, often set within the most challenging environments on Earth. He began his career as an expedition climber and landscape artist, spending years living in a tent beneath the big walls of U.S. National Parks and in the snowy Himalayan mountains. All of his paintings were created on expedition, carrying large cotton canvases on his back, sometimes even using natural pigments pulled straight from the earth to capture these wildly beautiful landscapes. He received National Geographic Adventurer of the Year in 2013 for his combination of cutting-edge first ascents and visual storytelling. The films he's made over the years have had a global presence; he's probably best known for MERU (cinematographer/subject), which won the 2015 Audience Choice Award at Sundance, and the critically acclaimed Sherpa (cinematographer/co-director), which screened at TIFF and Telluride.
