mrefranklin Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 A couple of years ago, back when I was doing a little work in the outdoor industry, I went to the Outdoor Retailer show and picked up one of the many free magazines that they always give away there. There was a magazine called Mountainfreak that I thought was pretty fun. I can't find any info on it now so I'm assuming that it must be defunct. Can anyone confirm or deny? Quote
erik Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 i used to get that dirty hippy rag... i think the best part ws the nekkid chics in the mtns pics... Quote
mrefranklin Posted June 9, 2003 Author Posted June 9, 2003 So the million dallar question is: Did you let your subscription run out or did the issues just stop arriving? Nekkid mountain chicks are fun. I went to a Warren Harding slide show where he kept inserting picture of nekkid hippie girls in between his slides of climbs in the valley. One of the best slide shows I ever attended. Quote
erik Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 i dont remember, but i think it ended and my g/f at the time went to renew to no avil...she was way into alternative housing and shit like that.... do a google search..or have trask one for you..... Quote
dalius Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 I tried to contact this magazine a while back, but to no avail. I think they're defunct. Quote
mrefranklin Posted June 9, 2003 Author Posted June 9, 2003 Thanks for the help. I did try a google search before I posted here and found a Colorada phone number that had been disconnected. My guess is that the freaks are gone... Quote
erik Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 sux when you blow your trustfund on an all hemp magazine!!!! Quote
dalius Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 Jesus! How many subscriptions did you get Erik!??!?! Quote
glen Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 Gee MR. E, was that Harding show at UCSC? Many a nice rack in that show. Including the bottles of Christian Bros. brandy for the climbs. When he was talking about the FA of the wall of early morning light, he made a pretty telling comment about getting worried when they were getting low on booze- after they had already run out of water and were collecting it from drips off the wall!

mrefranklin Posted June 10, 2003 Author Posted June 10, 2003 As a matter of fact it was, Glen. You were there too. I think we had beers downtown afterwards and talked about what a rotten idea the BAT was. Good to hear from you. I hope things are going well. Quote
