I have decided to move, and want to get rid of a lot of old climbing gear, books, crashpads, shoes....
First up, I have incomplete sets (through about 2006/07) of climbing and rock & ice. Probably a couple hundred or more magazines. I dont have Issue No. 1 of either mag, but know I have seen some from the 1st 10 issues.
Lately, with new issues, I read em once and throw them in the trash.
Anyone know any schools or libraries I could donate these to? Anyone looking for specific issue(s)? All reasonable offers entertained. They are well used, but still in great shape.
Decided to keep the almost complete set of Mountain and Alpinist.
Any help appreciated...

Doubtful you'll find a buyer for them, especially the ones from the last 10 years (Climbing: post-Kennedy era). However, you might well find an eager recipient of your donation in the form of a climbing gym, or a summer camp that has some kind of outdoor adventure program, or a non-profit outdoor program that has some kind of basecamp, or...?
Post up your general area, and maybe some more specific suggestions can be offered.

Hey, I'll be in/near Sacratomato in around a month or so (7th of April-ish). Work down towards Fairfield way.
Used to travel out there a bunch. Be fun to rally the ol' crew together and swap some lies. In the least.
Cheers,

edit to add: I'd take any old Montana guidebook I don't already have, Stone Hill included...Hey Tom! 'Bout time I get back up to the H'bugs...

DMT, It seems like every three years I move again. Which has been great, as I have been able to check out lots of climbing areas. Staying in the Sac area (Rocklin) this move, which is cool. I love Donner, the North Fork of the American and Sugarbowl for dropping a knee. Still working in downtown Sac though. Gonna rent out my house in Curtis Park. Anyone in Sac looking for a rental house?
Best, Atch

I'm interested in the mag that had the supertopo guides to the Zion trade routes, Rock & Ice I think. Anyone know what issue that was??
Thanks.

Wonder why it is that the Kennedy years at Climbing were considered classic, producing classic issues of the rag, and that everything afterwards is basically a read-and-chuck affair.
Curious, but I've repeatedly sen this opinion tossed out there.

Good question, John.
I think as climbing became more and more popular the mag had to broaden it's appeal thus going more for the "teeny-bopper" and less for the old classical guard.

Brian, its an older paperback one. Not sure which though. i will check tonight.
My "Climbs to Nowhere" is hammered, like most of my guides. I use them, throw them in packs, spill coffee on them...
Oregon Rock has mildew damage.
Largo, Not keeping new issues probably has more to do with how much I climb these days, and not so much on content. The old issues had photos of routes I wanted to do, or had done, or dreamed about. People and places and climbs that I knew. I know v10/5.14 is never gonna happen as I sit here in my suit typing this, and the mags cater to firsts of things and repeats I could care less about. The lives of sponsored climbers is not exciting or inspiring. Repeated TR rehearsal of cutting edge routes is not exciting. Comp results are not inspiring. I mostly look at the pictures, hoping for classic shots of crags I visited bitd.
And not all old issues are classic either. There are a lot that really suck. Climbing literature went through a really flowery phase, with the metaphysical side not coming across well on paper. I have some old copies of Ascent/climbing/rockandice that are unbearable to read. Some of the old mags go on and on in detail about how someone FELT while climbing, and how colorfully they could describe their surroundings and the route. ZZZZZZZZZZZ.... But some have great pictures.
