Cleaning out the basement, I'm giving away all my old climbing magazine back issues... except for these! Between Mar/Apr 1993 and July /Aug 1994, this short-lived British magazine attempted to do what Alpinist did a decade later in the USA: provide glossy, in-depth, high quality coverage of mountains, people, and issues. It was edited by Ed Douglas, also known for editing The Alpine Journal, and the author of 'Tenzing: Hero of Everest', amongst other works. As well as excellent coverage of new routing in the Alps and Himalayas plus elsewhere, plus the 'usual' inclusions of gear and book reviews, etc, Mtn Rev published 'big' articles, well researched, well written, and well illustrated. Issue 1 looks at Everest. Issue 2 focuses on the Grand Pilier d'Angle, Patagonia, and the Wendenstock. Issue 3 profiles Fred Beckey and Chamonix. Issue 4 delves deep into Russia. Issue 5 explores Cerro Kishtwar and Poles in the Himalaya. Issue 6 digs into Scotland and Yosemite. Issue 7 features Glen Coe, the Caucasas, Tomo Cesen, and Erhard Loretan. Issue 8 looks at K2 and the Antarctic. Issue 9 includes Cerro Torre, Sweden, and Shiprock. ...and then it was gone! All copies are in excellent condition. Issues were generally 90 or 82 pages. The per issue price 'back in the day' was US $4.95. The same seems more than fair for what are now undoubtedly quite rare 'collectables', so US$ 45. You pay postage, about 5 lbs shipping weight.

Porter, your photo makes it look like we’re in a bowling alley. Here is the picture taken with my phone. Only 5 of us old timers showed up. And Tony bailed on us. Stale Toast. L to R: klenke, Olyclimber, MattP, ChrisW, AlpineK
