allthumbs Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Yes, I thought the same thing, but I'm far too much the gentleman to mention it. Thankfully we have FDA the smutmeister to point out the obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Trask, this bbs would be lost, hopelessly lost, without your unerring moral compass to guide us to the lands of good taste, good manners, and courtesy.

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Iain! Have you already forgotten that Dr. Flash Amazing earlier today immortalized you in a short "rap" paying homage to your pagetopping prowess? But really, your peerless contributions of content speak for themselves, and the above cat carrier was no exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 I appreciated the rap. It was on a par with "DJ Highball" from the Kurt Smith Kickin' Access tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelle Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 ...the big feature on (yawn) desert spire climbing... But I still bought a copy and have reread it several times! Dru -Agree on the desert spire article...boring. But I think they were creative about using a removable wood rap device so they could still put up new routes. Sounds like you enjoy the mag even though you're so critical of it. All mags have their good and bad points. This one is the best of the lot in my opinion. For anyone in the Seattle area Second Ascent is selling the mag for below cover price. I think I paid $10.95 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ade Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I think they should be given some credit for the Tackle and Fowler articles and Changabang profile. And for launching a magazine in a pretty crappy economic climate. Sure, I'm not wild about desert climbing either but it's more in keeping with the magazine's niche than say a feature on bouldering at Bishop (this is not a value judgement on either of these activities, simply a statement about how they fit with what I perceive to be Alpinist's readership).

Beck Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 (edited) cavey, i loved your first definition of alpine- "cool as fuck, where no cars can drive to, little or no trees and other vegetation grows and sometimes above a glacier." superpoetic, cave! great picture in Alpinist #1, inside first page, the climber 'at bivouac' in the mountain hardware tent and the XGK stove on Denali. Extreme grovelling. It's pretty glossy and expensive, most mags start out as free rags, except in big bucks publishbing world, but this mag still breaks the mold, it's more like a trade magazine price, but without all the trade ads you'd expect in such a pricey periodical.

snoboy Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I always thought alpine meant- cool as fuck, where no cars can drive to, little or no trees and other vegetation grows and sometimes above a glacier. Wouldn't most desert spires fit into that definition??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Maybe snoboy but I guess a lot of defnitions for words could be matched up too. Read glacier note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
