In reply to Alan James - UKC:
read some of this thread but not all, people keep crying out for bouldering magazines yet I just can't see the enjoyment in this.
Recently read my first copy of Alpinist and it is fantastic, a great mix of all the reasons I got into climbing.
Firstly the photography is stunning, fulfilling all the requirements I have for breathtaking scenery.
Secondly, the stories are full of adventure and climbing in far out places in great mountain ranges.
The magazine articles are full of interesting writers that inspire you to go climb.
how could bouldering magazine do this?
Why there is no magazine doing this for the UK market, who knows. High used to cover some articles of interest, but I dread to think how much this is going to be watered down when combining with OTE.
I would subscribe to Alpinist, only the 6 week delay for non North American delivery puts me off, I can buy it down the shop before that.
Does anyone subscribe in the UK?
Does it really have a 6 week delay?
Why can't I pick this as my favourite read in my profile?
