Yes, I'm giving away lots of old magazines that I no longer want to store ...

  • Mountain
  • Climbing
  • Rock and Ice
  • Alpinist
  • Rock

... as well as random others, including the odd High, On the Edge, Gripped, Screamer, Thrutch, etc, etc, etc.

Plenty of pretty pictures, route info and interesting historical stuff.

If anyone wants any of it you could text or phone me on 0407 310 287.

Just don't leave it too long. Now that I've decided to get rid of them I'd like to get on with it ...

    Alpinist magazines are gone.

    Rock and Rock and Ice are gone. It was nice to see them go to an enthusiast.

    Still have Climbing (dating back to 1980) and Mountain (dating back to November 1977: the cover of this mag shows Andrew Thompson, wearing E.B.'s, falling off Kachoong).

    If you are a climbing history buff these magazines would provide many hours of enjoyable browsing. In Mountain #68 for example, there is news about the first free ascent of the Chouinard/Herbert Route on the Sentinel in Yosemite Valley, as well as Charlie Fowler's onsight solo of the Direct North Buttress of Middle Cathedral. Interesting also to see what some of the gear looked like. An advert for Troll shows Rick White in a Whillans harness on The Nose. Climbing is rather U.S. centric, but is a good source of information if you want to look for some great classics to do on a road trip sometime.

    I'd really like to pass these on to a good home - even if it's only for a short time - rather than consign them to the recycling bin. Let me know (phone or text 0407 210 287) if you're interested.

    Hi Doug

    I'd love to take them. I will be back on Sunday. Can I come round to collect them. Nick
