The new issue of Ascent

Having overcome my addiction to climbing magazines, an affliction with which I have struggled for several decades. My daughter bought me this magazine for my birthday. I have to say it was a real gem, and well worth buying. For fossils the article by Bridwell about trundling in the valley, the article by David Roberts reflecting on his ascent long ago of Mount Deborah, and Jeff Long's article about Fritz Stammberger will all resonate.

But I promise, I have control of my addiction and am currently only purchasing issues of the Alpinist and Vertical.
