Lasting Impressions in the Tonquin Valley
Editor’s Note: The soon-to-be-released 2020 Summer Gazette features a rather interesting story about connections in the mountains and a mystery surrounding a missing climber that comes full circle.
The full story from Sam Wall and Tristan Nissen will be available via the online version of The Gazette, but we thought we’d share a few of the photos that didn’t make it to publication here to give you a taste of what’s to come.
Stay tuned to our social channels (links at the bottom of this page) to find out when the summer issue of The Gazette is released.
