Climbing Magazine Covers - Issues No. 176 (May 1998) & No. 177 (June 1998)

This image shows the front covers of two issues of Climbing magazine photographed side by side on a light-colored blanket. The left cover is issue No. 176, dated May 1, 1998, priced $4.95 US / $6.95 CD, with a red 'Climbing' masthead over a photo of a rock climber in a white shirt and blue shorts ascending a steep granite corner high above a forested valley, with a second climber visible below. The right cover is issue No. 177, dated June 15, 1998, also $4.95 US / $6.95 CD, with a yellow 'Climbing' masthead over a close-up photo of a shirtless climber with long curly hair and chalked hands gripping a sling in his teeth while placing or clipping gear on steep rock. No article titles, tables, part numbers, or automotive content are visible in the image — only the mastheads, issue numbers, dates, and cover prices are legible. Despite being filed in an automotive document gallery for a 2003 Jeep TJ, this is not a vehicle reference document; a reader can learn only the issue numbers, publication dates, and cover prices of these two 1998 climbing magazines.
