That is stellar, I know I have read
a few cracks about Alpinist, but I
thought it was a niche that nobody
was filling! Big walls in remote
places, that is interesting to me,
call me crazy, O.K. don't!

I spoke with Christian Beckwith today, and he said he is committed to transferring the Alpinist experience to a viable medium but that won't necessarily be with the new owners at the new Alpinist mag.

So, at the moment its not clear who will be editing the Alpinist going forward.

fyi everyone,
I spoke with Denise, in subscriptions at HOL, and was told all subscriptions will be honored. They will start with #26. She told me I had four issues left on my current subscription, which was correct. So it seems they are on the up'n'up.

I second Kelly, if he wants a "full time" job that is.

Today is March 1st, and it's been a while since the announcement of "Alpinst to be re-launced".

Any news out there?

Should I wait for my prepaid 10 issues, or is it more likely that the S.T.-published issue 13 will come first?

Sounds accurate. I know Katie Ives and others are working hard to make this magazine a viable source for climbing information.

Hey all,

We're working on Issue 26. It had been on the presses in October when Alpinist folded. But, as we found out recently, a large number of the original Issue 26 articles had been sold to other mags while Alpinist was closed (and have since appeared or are forthcoming now in those publications). So we're now re-editing and redesigning the issue to fill in those gaps. And some contributors are working hard to finish replacement articles. I'll let you know as soon as we get a sense of the print date. We're aiming, now, for early April.

Thanks so much for your patience and support. It's exciting to get Alpinist going again. We hope to make the magazine worthy of all of you. Advice of all kinds is welcome....

best,
Katie Ives

Thank you for good answers; looking foreward.

The prepayed issues are not the most important; would be OK to re-contribute for a viable and good magazine. Just need to know if there is anything I should do to stay on.

Dear Michael,

All old Alpinist subscriptions will be fulfilled by the new Alpinist folks, so if you have a subscription already, you should be set to get Issue 26, etc., when it goes to print.

Thanks for your support,
Katie

Is there anything like a sample issue? I'm in a position to throw down for something on the lines of the old mag, but I don't want to buy into a 'Rock and climbing' kind of deal. Can we still get the hats? I'd pay full price for a sample.
