I'm surprised nobody posted anything about it sooner. I guess I heard about it about two weeks ago.


Its to bad. It was a nice magazine but I never could justify buying it.

mmm pretty pricey, which is why i never bought one. but amazing quality.

Best alpine climbing porn available in North America: fewest adverts, little or no "guess which boy who doesn't shave climbed 5.14d! Awesome!" type stories. I bought it pretty regularily, usually to read over a couple of beers at Rogue's Roost or on a 'plane(unless it was just a glorified 'Rock & Ice'/'Climbing' issue, all about the already exhaustively summarized history of rock climbing in the glorious USofA, like what turns out to be the last issue: all about Yosemite, didn't buy it). I will miss it, as will the people sitting in my waiting area at work. Back to Cosmo and Chatelaine for them, poor sods(actually, they like 'Gripped' and 'Rock & Ice', too). Too bad we don't get 'Montagne' or 'Vertical' over here in North America.
