Issue 58. of the ever popular Alpinist Magazine. This issue features the life and times of Royal Robbins and how the gender gap is closing in the upper limits of hard trad climbing.
Alpinist is an inspirational quarterly and certainly not your average climbing magazine. Produced in glossy high quality paper and featuring both cutting edge mountaineering articles and historical features. With quality you normally find in 'coffee table' hardbacks, it contains well researched and intelligent articles with stunning inspirational images. Alpinist is read for its fascinating content but is treasured for its style and good looks. Its like the National Geographic of Climbing Magazines
The pages of Alpinist capture the art of ascent in its most powerful manifestations, presenting an articulation of climbing and its lifestyle that matches the intensity of the pursuit itself.As the Alpinist Magazine team say;
"We believe in sinker jams high off the deck, a bomber nut, the crescent moon, your partner's whoop, sand-washing the fry pan, road trips, one-swing sticks, remembering to breathe, alpine starts (more for the alpenglow than the early hour), espresso in the desert, the plungestep, lenticular cloudcaps, rest days, the focus of a runout, a cold beer at the end of it all."
If that sums you up then Alpinist Magazine will be for you.
