Summit was America's first monthly climbing and mountaineering magazine, published from 1955 to 1989.
History
Summit was founded in November, 1955 by Jene Crenshaw and Helen Kilness in Big Bear City, California. Under the leadership of Crenshaw and Kilness the magazine became very influential in US climbing circles and ran until 1989.
In 1990 a new owner David Swanson started Summit - The Mountain Journal, a quarterly publication with editor John Harlan III which ran until the summer of 1996.
The British Mountaineering Council (BMC) is the national representative body for England and Wales that exists to protect the freedoms and promote the interests of climbers, hill walkers and mountaineers, including ski-mountaineers. Its headquarters are on Burton Road in West Didsbury, an area of Manchester, England.
The organisation was originally formed in 1944 to represent the interests of climbing clubs and primarily maintain access for climbers to climb on a mountain, a crag, or even a sea cliff in England and Wales. It works for its members to provide services and representation for: access and conservation, climbing walls, clubs and huts, competition climbing, equipment advice, guidebooks and maps, heritage, international, safety and skills, youth and equity. The organisation now has two types of membership; those that are affiliated via a club and those that are individual members.
The BMC currently has over 75,000 members: 51,000 individual members, 24,000 club members, and 280 affiliated clubs. Membership benefits include access to the BMC travel insurance scheme, civil liability insurance, discounts on equipment, technical and training advice, and four copies of Summit magazine each year.

Light In The Dark
Light in the Dark is a cinematic insight into the world of Michelle Mansell, a cold, open-water swimming coach. Through her work Michelle gives people an effective way of regaining mental and physical health and shifting their perspective on how the world around them can heal. We encounter this activity at night; when people are most amenable to experience this interplay of physical invisibility and intensity. The film is a pertinent reminder of how effective the natural world around us can be in recovering from trauma and counteracting some of the damaging effects of modern life. It does this through beguiling images and a sensitive and informed narration.
