Issue 03
Landing
Cover image: Will Tapp
Exploring the theme of Landing, this third issue questions how we connect with, steady ourselves in and impact upon the land in which we climb.
Whilst climbing - and bouldering in particular - is concerned with the motivation for ascent, an inordinate amount of time is spent falling off. Climbers are, in fact, much more familiar with the act of landing than they are topping out. Yet sometimes it's easy to forget the ground is even there. This issue asks what we might uncover about the bouldering experience if we turn our attention to the practice of Landing.

We want this magazine to be financially accessible for all those who are interested. In the art and artistry of bouldering, in keeping print media alive in a meaningful way, in contributing to a slower form of story-telling. At the same time, to keep the project alive, we need to price the magazine in a way that reflects the efforts put into producing it, the range of people involved, and the scale of our readership.
Spotting, as an act, is about trust and mutual support, a way of holding each other up. By offering a sliding price scale, we hope to apply these values to the way we share the magazine.
12£. This is our community price. It’s the one we originally set when we launched the magazine, and we still want to make it available for those who can’t justify paying more.
15£. This is our standard price, more aligned with similar independent magazines. By paying this, you're helping us keep this project going a little while longer...
18£. This is our supporter’s price. By paying this you are giving us an extra boost and enabling access for others who have less to spare.
So, if you are in need of a spot, take one today. And if you are able to pay more, then know that you are helping others out by doing so.
