Hi Michael!
could you scan and OCR the first index?
I think I'll get the rest...

I'm lucky enough to have every issue of Mountain, except #1 - #12, that is #13 - #145. And the indexes for #13 - #136, which I've just copied and sent to Ed so that he can scan them, and use OCR to convert them into something computer-friendly.
Did Mountain simply go out of business, or was there more of a story to it than that?
If it had kept publishing six issues/year, Mountain would now be up to #263 or so.
It was and is the only English-language climbing 'magazine' to have an index.

Sorry, Ed. I completely overlooked your request for scanned indexes. Probably too busy scanning old slides ...
Good you got them from Mighty.

Yes Riley,
Dhaulagiri is a great mountain. I've had the luck of circumventing it twice, one time in very nice weather and one in horrendous. My scanned slides are lousy - will do better during the next week and upload.
Here's village Takum in Myagdi Valley south of D. Very nice place.

For more than 20 years I have had a "Mountain Magazine Mystery": My issue #113 has been missing from my 25-145 continious collection. Well, I counted it lost, got a photocopy from a friend, and lived happy.
Until today!
I have - as mentioned previously - borrowed a Nikon scanner, and is eating my way through 6000+ slides. I have come to a casette with portraits of different climbers I've met. Here is one of Dough Scott, worldfameous British climber. He visited Copenhagen in 1987 and stayed at my place.
Look what he is reading (together with my climbing buddies, Tobias, Magnus and Søren)!
We were talking about climbing in Norway (the very good book Norsk Fjellsport is visible as well), and M #113 has a long article about Norway.
Well, I have asked my friends (and I still see and climb with them all); they don't have my Mountain Mag.
So, dear agony aunt,
What should do?
Should I call him, and ask?
Go to Lake District / Cumbria, force my way into his house and look through his files?
Let the case rest?
Hm, I think I'll let it rest. But interesting still...

Hi Ed!
Here's what I have that you need: (Issue #, Year, Month)
3 1969 May
4 1969 July
6 1969 November
7 1970 January
8 1970 March
9 1970 May
10 1970 July
11 1970 September
12 1970 November
13 1971 January
14 1971 March
15 1971 May
18 1971 November
19 1972 January
21 1972 May
24 1972 November
25 1973 January
26 1973 March
29 1973 September
34 1974 April
35 1974 May
39 1974 October
40 1974 November
41 1975 January
42 1975 March/April
43 1975 May/June
44 1975 July/August
45 1975 September/October
46 1975 November/December
I'd like to have all answers, believe me.
Going through the magazines I was happy to see that you have missing pieces mainly before 1975, because that was when the folks at Mountain decided to take the date off the cover and hide it inside the magazine (Issue #42 was the first), meaning taking off each magazine, going through it, taking the proverbial stroll down memory lane and reading a few passages as opposed to just glancing at the cover. Nevertheless, a mere glance at the iconic images portrayed there sufficed most of the time to persuade me into going through the magazine anyway.
(At least I noticed that I had my #38 and #39 mixed up. The HORROR!)
Ed, your little hobbies of indexing, collecting, filing etc. are great contributions to the climbing community. (As are Wide Wednesday TRs.)
Cheers!
Lasti
edit: sorry about the space delimitation, I see you used commas. Is this a problem? Should I care?

Ed,
I have the original index for Mountain 1-12.
I have all the original Mountain index series through Mountain 136.
I am going to forward copies to Steve Grossman. I can forward copies to you.
I have all of Mountain magazine except 1, which I have a low quality copy.
Plus I have many duplicate copies. I will take a look at your want list later. My e-mail is jim@bjwhite.net. Let me know where to send a copy of index 1-12.

Could someone please tell me why I am listed in the index for issue #75 page 15?
I would have been being rebuilt in the hospital and not climbing.
My inquiring mind would really like to know.
