Climbing magazines
Climbing is a very popular sport globally and climbing magazines which cover climbing news and contain articles about the sport are available, although as is the case with many specialised regular publications climbing magazines may have to be bought online or subscribed to as they may not be widely available in news agents.
In climbing magazines you could expect to find various features discussion developments in the sport, such as new innovations and reports on locations to climb. Climbing magazines are also likely to contain letters from readers and interviews with famous climbers. Two popular climbing magazines are Climb Magazine and Mountain Magazine, they are widely read amongst climbers, but are published fairly infrequently due to their relatively specialist nature. Both of these climbing magazines frequently include reviews of the latest gear in their articles and many people buy them for this reason.
A handful of online climbing magazines also exist some of which cater to niche areas of the climbing world and people who are interested in a specific type of climbing. These online climbing magazines are often published monthly and their websites are likely to include a forum where readers of the climbing magazine can discuss various aspects of their sport. Climbing magazines are also likely to contain a relatively high number of adverts, as small publications can often struggle to generate revenue through readership alone and there are many companies who manufacture specialised climbing goods who wish to reach their target audience by advertising in climbing magazines.
