I don't know if the American Alpine Journal still reads like this, but I once went through a pile of 1960s or 70s back issues, and at the time it seemed a fairly regular article genre was:

"First we were at an altitude where we probably weren't thinking all that sharply to begin with, and then we got tired, cold, and hungry, and that's when we made the stupid mistake that killed ${COLLEAGUE}."




The American Alpine Club publishes an annual journal called "Accidents in North American Climbing" entirely dedicated to accounts of climbing accidents that happened during the previous year.

They publish one accident report every month that you can read without being a member/subscriber:

They are very informative for outdoorspeople of any kind, not just climbers.


The entire catelogue is actually available for free on their website: https://publications.americanalpineclub.org/
