Peter Beal and Dougald MacDonald both have some interested perspectives on this issue and I’d like to expand further on the topic.Personally, I still enjoy reading climbing magazines. I subscribe to Climbing, Urban Climber, and Rock & Ice even though I’ve been considering letting my subscriptions lapse at times. […]

But yes, aspects of their model have merit.

I’m not sure their format or content are really the future of climbing media, but it’s a new model that has it’s merits.

My thoughts evolved as I was writing the posts, but since I work in the Internet and software industries, I just automatically equate technology with that instead of the broader aspects.

I think technology has had and will continue to have huge impacts on our sport, far outside the scope of where we read the latest sends. I’m sure what you meant to write is “The future of climbing media and technology,” and I should have just let it go. But, I’d be interested in reading an article that’s actually about the impact of technology on rock climbing (lightweight, super-strong materials, advances in training, non-matching climbing shoes, sticky rubber for crack gloves??) in the future as well. You know, if you were thinking of writing one. 🙂

There is definitely the simple pleasure of reading a print magazine anywhere and not dealing with a screen.

I’d also add that for my subscription price though, I should be able to read the entirety of the articles online as well. This would add value to a subscription.

I hate trying to read anything of length on a damn computer screen. That said, I enjoy sitting down in some comfy spot, like a picnic table, and READING a mag. One of the finer pleasures life has to offer. I could give you a list of reasons why print is better. The one thing that disturbs me is the paper production and waist. Fully recyclable, non-toxic print product. I’d never READ an article online again.
