Free to collect from Sunderland, Tyne and Wear. 
Hundreds of old climbing magazines, mainly On the Edge from the 1990’s and a few Mountain magazines from the early 1970’s. Good condition but dusty as stored in the garage for decades.

I'm a trustee at the Mountain Heritage trust, thanks for thinking of us! However we've generally got pretty complete runs of the major magazines so unless it's something unusual or hard to find then it wouldn't add much to our collection.

Separately, I run a website called climbing-history.org and as part of that I'm in the process of making old mags searchable and indexed. You can see the start of this effort here https://climbing-history.org/library/collection/7/mountain-magazine I'm focusing on Mountain and On The Edge at the moment. I've currently got a lot of OTE from ~1997 onwards, but I'd be very interested in anything pre-1997 that you have. I'd be willing to pay postage as I won't be able to make it to sunderland any time soon. Drop me an email via my profile if you'd like to chat. Thanks!

I've got a OTE from #1 until sometime later (have to check end#)

You're welcome to them if helpful.

Your resource looks really useful, I'm always trawling through my Mountains looking for half remembered stuff.

Have you got Crags?

Hi if you're still short of OTE lower numbers after Pedro50's offer then I have some early copies you can have.  Ditto Crags and Climber.  Well done with the cataloguing.

Thanks for the kind offers everyone 🙏

To be transparent, I can't make the full text available after scanning for copyright reasons so I'm basically doing as much as I can (making them searchable, creating an index, including the cover) within that limit. It's also a pretty slow process so I can't give any guarantee around when I'll get to a particular set of mags.

I'll get in touch via email but if you don't want to let me borrow the mags with the above limitations in place then I totally understand.
