hopefully it just means all the folks there will just get more time to be out in the mountains. I hope it is temporary and something will come along that can meet the standards it set.
Oh, wait, there is already Urban Climber WTF am I talking about, I can just subscribe to that now.

Bummer... Didn't Brandon Huff's girl work there? Hopefully she can find a new gig.

She was an intern there... not sure if it became a full time gig or not.

The local Barnes & Noble doesn't carry it so I never read it. sounded too specific , aimed towards a pretty small demographic most of which don't pay for things like magazines-- doomed to fail from the start but sounded like a decent mag

Then its relatively obvious you never read it... because it was hardly aimed at a smaller demographic than any other mag. Same stuff... better writing and photos. Better quality paper. All of which equaled more expensive. That may have been its downfall...
