Alpinist Magazine's Philosophy:
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 you believe in these things too, join us.
FeaturesEach issue of Alpinist magazine is of the highest quality and reads more like a book than your standard magazine. With a minimum of advertising and large format full color photography from some of the worlds best alpine photographers, you'll want to keep these for good.
Every quarterly issue features a mountian profile where they exhaustively photograph and describe the history of that mountain and its first ascentionists. The articles then cover the rest of the featured mountains history up to the present. The rest of the magazine contains articles usually depicting bold new alpine, ice, mixed and big wall climbs from around the world. An article called "Local Heroes" features either an up and coming climber or an old sage and is presented/written by one of his/her peers. Authentic gear reviews are sometimes included in the magazine as well. Lots and lots of other good and informative articles grace the pages in between the cover of this excellent magazine.

| jfox | Phenomenal! | | 
Voted 5/5 | I really can't say enough about this quality publishing. The photography is amazing and inspiring to say the least. I'll be a subscriber for a long time. On the expensive side as far as magazines go, but for the quality of written articles contained within, I believe its well worth it. You won't, or shouldn't be throwing these away when done. If only they were published more often! | | Posted Jan 24, 2008 11:37 am |
| Alan Ellis | Very good, but... | | 
Voted 5/5 | This is closer to a journal than a mag. I guess that's how they justify the price. I somehow can't get past the price of $46.00 for four issues. Regardless, the quality is of the highest and I highly recommend it. | | Posted Jan 24, 2008 4:34 pm |
